Where are the calls for a mental competency exam of Trump today???

That was stunning yesterday. He's either too dumb or he suffered a break from reality in public.

I am shocked the airwaves aren't full of media and politicians alike today screaming that the President undergo some type of competency evaluation. Any other President and we would be hearing this.

THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS! The man in charge of our military has the mental capacity of a 3rd grader only he thinks he's the most informed person in the world. This was more than misspeaking after going off script. This was a break from reality or a demonstration of levels of idiocy never before seen in a world leader. How can the media not be going crazy with this today? What the heck is happening in our country?

After that total nonsense, tell me if there is anyone who doesn't think Trump could be talked into bombing Vermont because they're part of a foreign nation called New England who is trying to steal Betsy Ross's prized acorn bush? This is not OK, this is dangerous and no one seems to care.

was on full display before the world yesterday. This has reached an alarming level and is a grave threat to our nation.

There is nothing normal about the leader of the most powerful military on earth not having a basic grasp of US history and of reality. The memes are hilarious, but I am just stunned no one in the media is questioning his sanity today.

Is that our government is able to function, for a while, without a competent head of state. It's resilient, even to a complete idiot in charge, moreso than a corporation would be. Actually I think this administration proves it. I'm trying to look on the bright side here. Of course, we can't go on indefinitely like this.

his cabinet falls at his feet in worship. Congress is unwilling to even launch an investigation or cast an eye toward impeachment.

So, jokes are all we have.

Jokes that makes us want to cry because there is no real end in sight and since this guy gets away with everything, the next one will be so much worse.

Trump is making decisions that effect our lives and people just laugh and make fun of him. Trump is crazy but is treated as just another normal thing for him to say.

but no one with the power to do something about it is willing to do anything.

They either adore him (his cabinet) and thus will not act or are too afraid of appearing less than civil (the House) to act.
