It is long past time to acknowledge the truth that has been staring us in the face all along Donald Trump is clearly mentally disordered and poses a grave danger to us all.In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the danger that Trump poses is twofold. First, his mishandling of the crisis has already cost countless lives. His paranoid, narcissistic and psychopathic characteristics are certain to mean that many more lives will be lost due to his handling of the crisis than would be the case if a president of sound character and mental health were in office. Second, there is a danger (whose probability is simply unknown), that Trump might trigger an even more catastrophic event, such as a war or the collapse of relations between nations upon whom essential global supply chains depend.
For those looking to Novembers election as the safety stop that will secure all our futures, Irish journalist and author Fintan OTooles has issued a prescient warning: As the cost of [Trumps] terrible failures of public duty and common decency becomes ever more starkly evident, he will revert in his re-election campaign to an explanation of the [COVID-19] disaster, not as a consequence of his own incompetence and contempt but as a punishment inflicted on the United States for its failure to build his wall, keep out foreigners, and crush the enemy within. Like a medieval quack making a profit in times of plague, he will offer a stricken people an ever-higher dose of a toxic cure.

Briefly, the DunningKruger effect is the observation that the dumber you are, the smarter you think you are.

...the electorate, though.
We've been calling him mentally ill since he's been in office.
Seems to me it would be easier to attack him through his policies and actions - cruel, hateful, horrendous. Those memes seem to have more of an impact.

that also enabled this idiot to be so worthless as a president. National Security? These people don't know or honor the words 'national security' as it truly applies the US or its citizens. A republican party, ruled by 1%ers, ruling the mob, eh?

all know he is a dunce, a wildly insecure malignant narcissist/ sociopath. Course he thinks hes a stable genius amongst other bizarre erroneous self appraisals of his stellar qualities .

mitch mcconnell is worse and he is in charge (in my opinion) trumps just the clown distracting everyone.
