12. 45 is not a well man, not just mentally

I don't think physically the "healthiest president ever' can take much more of this...he is not used to working full days (or at least pretending work), his bubble of adoration has never been attacked so much (he could at least retreat to Trump Tower back in the old days), his diet is disgusting and he has to be under constant stress - stress of his own making.

Other presidents have aged in dramatically in the WH due to the stress of actually being president - dealing with crises both domestic and international. They have all been able to surround themselves with a team of political insiders who have experience in government. So in the past, at least the federal agencies kept running along fine during transitions. This idiot is surrounded by inexperienced idiots who think they can run the country like a corp, and instead has gotten rid of so many key career people who have served under both political parties that if a serious crisis were to hit the US (other than the crisis of 45 himself) there is no longer infrastructure in place to deal with things.

Add that to the paranoia he naturally has that is being fed daily by Bannon, I don't think he physically can handle the strain.
