"There's something wrong with him mentally."
How much blame do you place on the President for something like that happening?
I think on a subconscious or subliminal level, and many other levels, it gives the O.K. to other people who are maybe more on the verge of thinking, or fantasizing, that hes somehow given the O.K. to do that. I used to think, Well, maybe once he becomes President, hell maybehes a New Yorker. Not that that means anything, in certain ways, but it does in others. I thought, Maybe hell come around. But then hes been worse than I ever could think. Cause he has no plan. He has no center whatsoever. He even gives gangsters a bad name. Cause a gangster will give you his word and will pride himselfor herself. He doesnt even understand that kind of logic. He thinks hes slick and all that. Theres something wrong with him mentally.
