I think he lost it even before he was rigged in by Russians and other assorted helpful idiots.

I'd love to see him take a swing at Gen. McMaster.

5. He is so mentally unsound that he could easily start a war.

Last week brought us the tariffs without discussing it with anyone and it was not the worst week in the past year. When Mueller gets closer and closer he will literally make the US go "ballistic" along with him. And he is on a diet which is not a good thing for the safety of the country.

11. This is possible. We should be terrified.

Americans should realize, even if our soil wasn't struck, even if cyber or grid attacks didn't mean survivors breaking branches to burn for heat and digging up kudzu roots for food while they waited government aid to arrive..., the rest of the planet might feel a need to act against us for murdering hundreds of thousands, possibly far more, in another country.

Would we? What would realizing we were not the best but had become the worst do to us?

Sanctions, anyone? Jobs and incomes, anyone? Cancellation of trade agreements? Anyone who likes shopping for an extravagance of nice, inexpensive goods might start realizing the flow could stop and shopping centers across the nation start growing weeds in their parking lots, produce departments shrink, and so on.

We're not rich and powerful by ourselves.

Build a wall, alright. A wall of DEMOCRATS. To block every stunt he tries to pull, to usher him OUT the door, and then to contain Pence until we can get rid of that whole stain on OUR White House in 2020.

With a soul reacts to sress with something. With my dad back in the seventies,
he got such a bad ulcer that he
had to be hospitalized for it he lost so much weight we thought he had cancer.
That's what how a normal man may react to severe stress.
He should have the courtesy to stroke out.

Man reacts. Sometimes he seems so calm and so incredibly self confident about his future. Not normal given the circumstances. Either he knows for a fact that everyone in Mueller's sights is completely innocent or he's bat shit crazy.

...once he got elected. He couldn’t understand why Obama was working so hard.

Since he has no ability to self reflect when that self reflection might conclude he is wrong or at fault about anything, of course he is now angry confused and lashing out at everyone.
