I suspect it has sunken its tendrils into Trump's cranium and has turned what passed for his brain into a radio receiver for their evil plan to take over the planet.

And they'll never know, unless they first pry it off.

10 days of complete silence would force the guy to face himself.

After that, make him work a menial job for a year and have him live off of the proceeds.

How about an actual job in the real world? One where he would have no advantage of wealth and name. And include his pampered children in this therapy.

You know the old psychiatrist joke about changing light bulbs...it only takes one, but the bulb has to want to change. That, my friends, is the problem: Trump thinks he's perfect the way he is. It'll do no good at all to put Donald Trump into therapy because he'll come out at least as bad as he is now - maybe even worse.

Unless you want to plug him into an infusion machine and pump in enough Thorazine to lay out a Clydesdale stallion, therapy isn't going to help. You can't shoot the guy just for being an asshole. You can't deport him and, unless we can get better federal prosecutors than the ones who set the Malheur people free, you can't lock him up either.

The answer is to get REALLY good lawyers, burrow down into the Trump University and bill-skipping scandals, sue him out of everything he has, and let him shrivel up as some sort of washed-up pariah.

doesn't work on a narcissist. Married to one for years. Tries for a week or two, but never really sees the point.

The Orange Menace needs to spend the rest of his life defending his tax returns that he won't let us see.

Maybe they can turn him into a decent human being.

Deprogramming or de-brainwashing therapy.

His mind needs cleansed of the hate and ignorance that fills every crevice.

He has zero redeemable qualities.

He is ugly inside and out.

Seriously, the man could use a thorough evaluation. CBT might be enough as a stopgap but I honestly do think he's showing the signs of early dementia.

The meditation suggestion would be fine except the man can't concentrate for longer than a few seconds at a time.
