17. long distance diagnosis is a bad idea

Mon Apr 27, 2020, 09:27 AM

Apr 2020

It's clear Trump has some kind of psychological damage. Narrowing it down to a particular diagnosis without having done a thorough workup on the man is bad practice. Publicly announcing it is worse.

We don't know what's exactly wrong with Trump, and we don't need to know. It's clear (indeed he practically admits it) that he's dangerously unfit for his office and the remedy is the same: remove him by whatever legal means necessary.

This kind of faux diagnosis is only meant to make us feel good about disliking Trump and to get a charge out of dumping humiliation on him. I don't need more reasons to do the former and I have no need at all to do the latter.
