RAW STORY1.) Trump declares his own Federal Reserve chairman to be an enemy.
2.) Trump declares that America will be better off without any economic relationship with China. Even though farmers in Trump-backing Midwestern states have been getting hammered by the presidents trade war thanks to the retaliatory tariffs that China placed on their crops, the president signaled that he now believes America should break off trade with China entirely.
3.) Trump orders American companies to stop manufacturing things in China.
4.) Trump orders postal carriers to search for fentanyl in all packages. In an even stranger tweet, Trump said that he was ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!).
5.) Trump says that journalists are willing to lose their wealth if it means a chance to oust him in 2020.
6.) Trump brags about having overwhelming approval from his own party.
Great explanations following each item at link. Truly worth the click & read.

(63,657 posts)and more and more professionals are bringing this out or have been publicizing his psychotic symptoms. Yes, he is a risk to himself and others. That is the main question, in any mental assessment, is the person a threat to himself or others. I would Yes to this.
https://www.alternet.org/2019/08/psychiatrist-warns-trump-may-be-at-significant-risk-for-deteriorating-into-full-blown-psychosis/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1224&recip_id=21760&list_id=2
snip of article:
Donald Trumps verbal outbursts and Messianic claims of being the second coming and the chosen one have once again reignited a controversy over just what exactly is wrong with the pr*sident of the United States. Not only did he compare himself to Jesus several times in a single day, Trump also had a lot of trouble with the basic enunciation of words like obstacle and applicable, called the prime minister of Denmark nasty for declining to sell Greenland to the U.S., and declared all Democratic American Jews disloyal to Israel.
Whatever Trumps diagnosis, its particularly bleak and dangerous that this man is running the country and in possession of the nuclear codes, among other forms of recourse. Still, people are debating whether Trump is actually psychotic or narcissistic with delusions of grandeur or perhaps suffering from rabid dementia eating away at his brain and making him particularly irritable.
we better stop playing with fire or we will be burnt, by a psychotic POS.

Thanks for posting part of that AlterNet article. Sent that along with other info to my rethugian brother but no blowback so far. Perhaps he's not speaking to me again!

(24,324 posts)TRAITORS, every one of them..
Le't go after THEM !!!
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)change that.
Yes. Let's go after THEM!!!
brush
(53,474 posts)to switch the narrative away from another policy debacle he has created, and he is winning because everyone follows his tweets.
No, he's a fucking idiot who stumbles from self-created debacle to the next debacle he causes with his impulsive, uninformed, ignorant pronouncements.
Every other day now he's causing the Dow to plunge. Who needs this exhaustion?

(63,221 posts)see the writing on the wall and now we have a full-blown mental patient running the country.
bdamomma
(63,657 posts)he is the one with the nuclear codes, now that is something to worry about. In the Green Mile, there was this line, I think his cheese fell off the cracker.

(42,696 posts)You can't fix that kind of stupid.
Duppers
(28,094 posts)he has no idea that they could recall all the U.S. Treasury notes they hold and could immediately bankrupt this country. The US does not have enough money in a treasury to cover that kind of cash.
OR...we could just freeze all their assets in this country, including the treasury bonds. But then, how long could we go w/o Chinese products?
Trump is playing a very dangerous game that could possibly put the U.S. and whole world into a deep economic depression. But the fool has no clue!
pangaia
(24,324 posts)It has been from the beginning !!
Girard442
(6,059 posts)...roll over the proceeds from their maturing t-bills into purchases of new ones.
But basically, yeah, what you said.
Retrograde
(10,070 posts)or anyone else who can to invoke the 25th amendment. Then when he's removed from office he can throw himself a big pity party and go on ad nauseam about how he is being martyred for telling the "truth"
Duppers
(28,094 posts)Too many rethugians voters are ignorant enough to still be supporting him. It's the "Shoot someone on 5th Ave" thing.
NNadir
(33,368 posts)...the Amendment is useless.

(786 posts)Remember Trump is a master manipulator, deflector, distractionist. He is ignorant, but he is extremely smart in using the media. Divert, redirect attention. Smarter than the journalists.
What is his "look over there" goal now? The Greenland absurdity? The NYC probe of his tax returns and bank statements (tax fraud, money laundering)?
His low poll numbers? His attack on US Jews?
He has succeeded. Again.
rampartc
(5,264 posts)and yes, until this is under wraps he will be frantic.

They must get rid of him before he crashes our economy.

(14,483 posts)I believe he is manipulated by his minders such as Miller and many in his cabinet. They discovered the power of his Tweeting and rally statements during the 2015/16 campaign.
tRump is the ultimate narcissist and psychopath so he just rubber stamps whatever they design for him to post after they tell him it will boost his ratings and produce a win.
Being a psychopath, he is in no way concerned with the consequences of his actions.
He's far more concerned as to when the next tee time and McDonald's delivery is scheduled......
PatrickforO
(14,516 posts)I just called my Senators and said they need to get the sane people in the Senate together, get with Pelosi and start impeachment process because Trump is clearly crazier than a hoot owl. I urge all of you to call your Senators too! Heck, let's light up their switchboards.

(5 posts)"Who will rid us of this troublesome xxx?" You fill in the blank.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)"I hearby order US companies". Is just so far beyond the pale. Like he had nothing to do with the mess!
bluecollar2
(3,622 posts)He does have overwhelming approval from his own party.
Upwards of 80% I believe...
Initech
(99,915 posts)Only a matter of time before he starts peeing into mason jars and saving his hair and fingernail trimmings!
geardaddy
(24,924 posts)Bayard
(21,805 posts)Showing he's completely nuts these days. Its become so commonplace, that many don't even notice anymore. Apathy and exhaustion.
The one I've found the most alarming lately is the whole Greenland episode. Totally disassociated from reality for all the world to see.
patphil
(6,034 posts)was the statement that he has overwhelming approval from his own party.
The fact that this is still true after all we have endured from the Trump shit show is the most bizarre tweet of all.
