In reply to the discussion: Trump says that when he goes to vote, he's asked for his license plate. [View all]MineralMan
(151,613 posts)25. Yes. I've seen it develop more than once in people I know.
It's very disturbing to see someone who is lost in their own mind. And the more they slip away,. the more they try not to seem messed up. It never works.
I do not have any answers about how to deal with the issue, not with people close to me and certainly not with the President of a nation.
I just hope there are people who will act to get help for someone like that. Very, very difficult, though, if the person affected doesn't recognize the issue. I dealt with that with a close relative. I managed to keep things from boiling over for awhile. And the person died before they could do anything disastrous.
Anyhow, this is familiar to many people. Sadly, none of us are in any position to do anything about it.

Rump is a liar. No voter has ever been asked to provide their car license plate.

Every time I go to vote, I have to hand them my driver's license and they swipe it in their little machine.

If the GQP wasn't fully complicit, the 25th Amendment absolutely would have been invoked by now.

The demented guy is thinking of "driver's license" as ID, but it comes out as "license plate". . . . nt

Who here has ever had to unscrew their license plate from their vehicle before heading into the voting booth?

Voting by mail is so 20th century. Voting by license plate: the future is now.
