5. This crap keeps coming up

from people who should know better. 45 has a kind of privilege and disposition that is far outside of our experience. This is a guy who has been publicly rewarded rather than criticized for his claim of business expertise despite numerous bankruptcies. It seems he has not been held accountable in his business or personal life. Sick of the marriage? Pay her off. Nothing about his campaign or presidency thus far, suggests that he was intellectually prepared for, truly interested in doing the job, or takes it seriously. What kind of guy does this? One who is laughing with all of these ridiculous tweets and rhetoric. The WH has revealed that they are using the platform for their entertainment.

Aside from the laziness of searching for pathology rather than seeing the con and recognizing that he is from a very different world that has produced an anomaly but not necessarily pathology it is a strategy that opens the door for future conservative "experts" to take down the next liberal president. Surely we learned a lesson about political spite in 1998! Precedent is motivating and enabling.
The effect of the rhetoric is damaging and a precedent would be moreso for regular citizens. Suspected mental illness would easily be given more flexibility for employers, schools, and other entities to used against people who are considered liabilities, or simply unwanted. How do you think the ADA would hold up under this court?
