Schizophrenia is a thought disorder with relatively clear characteristics where primarily, the individual suffering "breaks" from reality. I know that the term itself means "split mind" or "two minds" which I suppose denotes the symptomatic versus asymptomatic phases. Schizophrenia typically results in very disorganized thinking often with bizarre thoughts or focused yet delusional (broken from reality) thoughts with paranoia. There are auditory, visual, olfactory, and tactile hallucinations (though the latter two are not as common). Anyway, I know that the term has been used in vernacular as it is being used. I just think that when we do not use terms as they are meant to be used, it muddies the water when it comes to describing the suffering of people with the actual disorder.
So, to your conflicting thoughts and feelings about Trump. I think that there is more complexity to the situation and I agree that there are potential problems with either course. I think that what we need to take out of the equation is our personal dislike/hatred of Trump as a person. He is vulgar and disrespectful and overall a disgusting person. We need to look at the situation from the perspective of what would it do to the country if Trump was held accountable for any crimes he may have committed, versus what would it do if the situation was allowed to pass. I agree that there will be a group (not insignificant) of people who would be outraged and who would say that Trump is just being persecuted because he is a Republican/Conservative/Whatever. It would likely be difficult for the unity of the country. On the other hand, if Trump is not held to answer for any crime that he committed in office, then what is to stop the next person, who is perhaps smarter then Trump, more eloquent, not so overtly stupid and impulsive; from coming into office and pushing to do what Trump tried to do? Here is a video that I found fairly convincing:
