Seriously, folks... one of djt's latest rants is blatant evidence that his mental state is dangerously deteriorating

If one of your relatives or neighbors publicly posted the screed below, wouldn't you consider getting that person medical/psychiatric help? Yet everyone just shrugs -- "it's him being him" -- and the topic changes to inflation or his architectural taste.

The Daily Beast (posted 22 hours ago):

He questioned if the people of Minnesota “really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention.”

“All the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most in foreign Countries who illegally entered the USA though Sleepy Joe Biden’s HORRIBLE Open Border’s Policy. Every place we go, crime comes down,” Trump said.

snip

"Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stolen by really bad and deranged people. FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”

Consideration of invoking the 25th Amendment should be on the table.

the efforts of a network of more competent opportunists and ideological zealots. There is no “there” there beyond this and there never really was. His only “talent” such as it is, is that parts of him, as a human being, have always been and ever shall be missing.

Allow me an indulgence. Imagine a Greek God comes down and brings T a little purple button in a golden box. The god informs T if he pushes the button, he’ll get a crisp new $20 bill but also, a little old lady will break her hip and die alone in pain over the next 2 days. The god tells him that nobody will ever know about the button or the $20. The god also tells him the little old lady doesn’t vote. For a $20 bill, T is 100% pushing that button and killing that old lady, every time. At his core, that’s who he is. He’s a washed-up reality TV star who narrowly missed selling used cars for a living.

The professional paid agitator — the domestic terrorist organization?
It’s still all projection!

Imagine if the MSM did its job showing the truth of the violence daily.
Imagine if the Republicans Congress did its job to remove this deranged idiot.
Imagine if the military and the police actually enforced the laws to protect the American People.

Imagine if …

printed up. He especially liked the yellow color used on some of the signs and added that Soros was paying the protesters.

He’s roiling up his cult ( and others) so they’ll continue to just nod and give “Sir” the thumbs up.

The TikiTorch freaks, the Proud Boys, J6ers - all happily gathering in public to flaunt their racism and pro-Trumpness.

Now, the only way he can get "his" people in the streets is with a paycheck and a signing bonus

Had to go to Walmart to pick up some supplies for one of my clients. A old white man was holding the aisle next to the frozen foods hostage with his cart and haranguing the poor shoppers.

His words sounded just like trump's - just like fox's - just like miller's. Other than the language, just like Hitler's.

...protect the "thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention" so much that they are willing to get shot in the face for it rather than allowing ICE to come in and root them out?

This is the idea here?

So, rather than actually calling ICE to come get "deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention," they are alerting said criminals that ICE is coming near them?

Ohhhhkaaay....

Obviously he knows this is BS. That is not how it would work.

You do have to wonder if even the MAGA cult believe this BS, or if they are going along because they love the violence?

When is he going to finally be awarded that Rest in Peace Prize?

it's apparently okay, then, to shoot a person if that person annoys you. It's getting out of control.

His lunacy is contagious. We saw that in the murder of Nicole Good. It is only a matter of time before we see a Kent State massacre scenario, but on a much larger scale. I hope I'm wrong, but it feels inevitable.
