21. Not to discount what you are saying..

but evaluating or diagnosing Donald Trump by any typical or practical standards is not going to work.

Trump has been seriously mentally ill for years...decades. He has always been irrational, self-centered, angry, ugly, cruel and corrupt. He has offered hundreds of middle of the night illogical rants with asinine logic and preposterous content.

And yet, almost daily on DU I see sane rational posts or videos predicting (hoping) that Trump is finally spiraling down.

If Trump showed up naked at the Pope's funeral, riding a pony, carrying a machine gun and singing opera, it would be perfectly within his character, nothing out of the ordinary and cheered and praised by Fox News and the MAGA minions..
