2. in deference to the people who don't think we should call him, "mentally ill",

this dude is seriously insane in the membrane.

30. Seriously, check out personality disorders.

They're very real and apparently almost impossible to treat effectively, but they are not considered an illness. You'll have crossed paths with a number of people with various degrees and types of personality disorder. Unfortunately, they're far from rare but are only diagnosed as a disorder when the traits are so strong that they seriously negatively affect a person's ability to function in the world.

I think a cluster B personality disorder would explain just about everything.

5. How in the hell can the President have time to watch television?

Except maybe in the late evening or early morning............

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. He retires at 6;30 pm, they say

then watches tv, esp. the news, apparently not realizing that the tv news has been known to most people via the internet, for hours.
It is also reported that he does not like to be alone, and orders his aides to spend the off duty hours with him,
which really means, i suspect, to have someone to listen to his constant babbling.
Reportedly he has not been sleeping well, either. Says he misses his "home" at the Tower and/or MarLego.

to comfort himself, he eats multiple servings of junk food at night.
which explains the decidedly portly look the past month.

16. These sorts of stories should make every seriously frightened. A man-child with emotional issues.

22. It reminds me of the "It's a Good Life" episode of the Twilight Zone

where there is a six-year-old boy who has the power to change/destroy the world with his mind. Trump's mind isn't that powerful, of course, but the childish grip on power coupled with the childish lack of impulse control makes it seem similar enough.

Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines—because they displeased him—and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages—just by using his mind. Now I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. This is Mr. Fremont. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. This is Mrs. Fremont. And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. But one day she forgot. She began to sing aloud. Now, the monster doesn't like singing, so his mind snapped at her, turned her into the smiling, vacant thing you're looking at now. She sings no more. And you'll note that the people in Peaksville, Ohio, have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror. This particular monster can read minds, you see. He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion. Oh yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster. This is the monster. His name is Anthony Fremont. He's six years old, with a cute little-boy face and blue, guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge. This is the Twilight Zone.

28. Excellent analogy...

Trump is the type of narcissistic sociopath that would lash out against those he feels aren't sufficiently bending to his authority! Wait, that's exactly what he's doing!!!

24. Speaking of which..
