I'm obsessed with the fact that the President of the US is out of his mind

Am I wrong?

I'm really WORRIED.


This is just so freaking BONKERS, BARKING MAD, I can't take it anymore.

that he is probably in cahoots and giving info to Russia. And the Republicans don't care. I just can't wrap my mind around all of this.

I want to think there are people in charge taking care of this. But I'm not feeling like there are enough sane people around Trump.

way I reasonably can. And then I live my normal life. Not obsessed.

If you're unable to function and do your normal activities, you should try to get professional help. School? Workplace? Referral from primary care doc?

I really want to know is that there are people watching him to make sure he doesn't completely lose it and set off nukes or something.

Apart from this, I want people to have plans to remove him from power. The 25th amendment is looking good right now.

Including Sen. Al Franken and an unnamed republican member of Congress.

I just don't know what we can do about it. The 25th amendment is a very high hurdle and impeachment isn't going to happen under this republican-controlled Congress.

I understand.... I went from not being able to stomach the sight of him during the campaign to waking up every morning and checking the news to see what he has done crazy overnight. I used to have the TV off all day.... not anymore. Afraid to miss something now.

I have a republican senator and congressman who pay no attention to their constituents. Our democratic senator is wonderful (Bob Casey) but democrats just don't have the numbers (yet). I have made countless (unanswered) calls, sent emails and tweets, and sent about a dozen postcards. I really feel like I'm just spinning my wheels.

He has been there a freakin' month already.... I hope people don't start to lose interest in protesting and mobilizing.

And all I can think about is how 45 leaves town every weekend and how much he hates the Washington establishment and he does have the nuclear launch codes and....well, you can see where my anxious mind takes me these days.
