Roe Conn, a former WLS right wing talkshow host, now on WGN, called him that on his show last week
Trump has Crooked Hillary; well, why not Crazy Donald?
you can start here:
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/a-neuroscientist-explains-trump-has-a-mental-disorder-that-makes-him-a-dangerous-world-leader/
According to a number of top U.S. psychologists, like Harvard professor and researcher Howard Gardner, Donald Trump is a textbook narcissist. In fact, he fits the profile so well that clinical psychologist George Simon told Vanity Fair, Hes so classic that Im archiving video clips of him to use in workshops. .................
would Donald Trump act on the behalf of the will of the people, or would he behave more like a dictatorsilencing any dissenting voices, perpetually refusing to compromise, and being oppressive to certain groups? To answer that, we should ask a little bit more about what makes a narcissist tick, and how they tend to behave when given free rein.
.................. According to the Mayo Clinic, narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.
Trumps shortage of empathy can be seen clearly by his stances on topics like immigration. Instead of recognizing that the data shows that most Mexican immigrants are not violent, but instead people simply looking for a place where actual opportunity exists, with a broad brush he claims that they are criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc. ..........
But a lack of empathy is just one part of narcissistic personality disorder. Just beneath the surface layer of overwhelming arrogance lies a delicate self-esteem that is easily injured by any form of criticism. We have all seen Trump unjustifiably lash out at a number of people with harsh and often extremely odd personal attacks. When he thought he had been treated unfairly by Fox News host and Republican debate moderator Megyn Kelly, he responded by calling her a bimbo and later saying that she had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
nothing really new in the above, but the media should start focus on this, because he really is FAR beyond the bend.
Jennifer Granholm started to call him insane the other day, but pulled it back after only getting out the "ins" part. I saw her do it, and she was admonished by the host for even getting that far. Time for at least Hillary surrogates to start planting the crazy train meme. I think it's just a matter of time before the yuuuuge elephant in the room will be impossible to ignore.
then, again, there was GWB
