Anyone want to make odds on Trump being committed before the inauguration?

[MineralMan]

His current Tweetstorm makes me wonder. I can envision the headline now:

President-Elect Trump Admits Self to Mental Ward - Withdraws from Presidential Eligibility

[unblock]

1. not gonna happen.

[RKP5637]

2. Maybe afterwards when the pressure of the job and the conflicts settle in more. I seriously

doubt he's going to make it for 4 years.

[Merlot]

32. The repubs would cover for him just like they did

with ronnie and his Alzheimer's.

[RKP5637]

33. Good point! n/t

[cwydro]

3. Nope. Nt

[el_bryanto]

4. It requires a level of introspection I don't see coming from Trump or his advisors

But it's nice to think.

[gollygee]

5. Nope

The republican establishment might find a way to get rid of him after the inauguration, but they won't take any chances until then. And then they'll probably just casually allow him to be impeached. They don't have to go to so much effort.

[Bleacher Creature]

6. There's no chance it's voluntary.

I think it's possible he's removed from office, but he'll never go voluntarily. At most, he'll amp up to craziness to force others to remove him, but you'll never see a headline about him voluntarily committing himself.

7. If Trump had a mental breakdown, how would we know?

[RobinA]

20. We Wouldn't

Wait, yes we will. When the crazy tweets stop, the chaos dies down, and he starts putting out sane-sounding words, even half sane-sounding words, we will know he has had a break and others are in control.

[Lotusflower70]

26. Lol

Good point. Sad but true.

[question everything]

8. What, and have Pence for the next 8 years?

No, thanks. At least with crazy Trump we have a chance of some congressional seats in 2018 and the white house in 2020
(I hope)

9. People with NPD will never admit and seek help for their flaws.

That's the viscous cycled nature of the condition.

[womanofthehills]

10. Remember when Eichenwald tweeted & then removed the tweet that Trump had a breakdown in 1990

which is the year Trump divorced.

This current flag burning tweet sounds like Steve Bannon to me .

[Coyotl]

11. He's already committed, in the insane asylum bubble of his own making.

And there is no escape.

[lillypaddle]

12. Wishful thinking

ain't gonna happen, sorry.

[Victor_c3]

13. As a guy who has been "committed" several times

I don't believe it'll happen. You have to be homicidal or suicidal to get to that point.

He'll probably get a script for some benzodiazepines, keep it on the down low, and turn into a prescription drug addict. Only those closest to him will onow.

[Buzz Clik]

14. dollars to donuts? (though donuts are getting more and more expensive)

Ain't happening.

[rug]

15. There's a huge difference between craven grasping and mental illness.

[loyalsister]

16. Still with the ableism?

Associating him with mental illnesses in an effort to tear him down is actually a comment on people who live with being demonized, stigmatized, and endlessly ridiculed in an effort to exploit their experiences to make a point. Trump's tweet storm is not a symptom or sign of mental illness it is just another example of what we already know. He is undisciplined, irresponsible, ignorant, and has a sense of entitlement. He doesn't fact check and seems to have an unearned self certainty.
It should not be surprising that someone who measures himself by fame and fortune would not take the presidency seriously.
I really don't think he wanted the job itself. It's a big job for someone who has not ever really had one not defined by himself, and he doesn't seem to be taking it seriously. He has never presented himself as someone who would.

[KittyWampus]

17. I think Twitter should terminate his account.

[milestogo]

19. No, its the rope he will use to hang himself.

He will parade his idiocy before the whole world.

[kimbutgar]

18. I see him stroking out before December 19th if we keep pointing out he

Lost the popular votes and there is evidence the ekection was manipulated in his favor. Personally I think our whole electoral system especially in red states like Wisconsin, florida, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio and Texas are fixed in favor of rethugs.

[lindysalsagal]

21. No, but after the first disaster he might have a "heart attack" and require rest.

No one ever thought we'd have two living popes: But it had to be done. Benedict had to take the wrap for the pedophilia and bank meltdown.

So, when fRump locks himself in his golden bathroom and refuses to come out, the west wing will call it a heart attack, swear in Pense, and keep the world running.

I can believe that easier than I can believe the west wing will allow this maniac to destroy the financial system and leave terorist attacks unanswered.

With all the weight he's gained, it's easy to believe. You can survive a heart attack these days, but still require rest....

[jmowreader]

22. Let's just say he probably won't be visiting California any time soon

"President 5150!" headlines look bad, m'kay?

[TwilightZone]

23. It's really not any worse than what he did all election season.

He's done it so often that it doesn't seem to surprise anyone anymore.

That being said, the media's new approach is curious. They should have been questioning his sanity and truthfulness the entire campaign season. It's a little late now.

[Solly Mack]

24. Fuck his mental state. I'm worried about the rest of us.

[mnhtnbb]

25. LOL. Me, too, Solly!

I just came from the Ortho's office this afternoon. Need a knee replacement. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Wait and lose Medicare? Do it now
and hope I'm rehabbed enough for a trip abroad we've booked in April?

And that's just the worries for the first 100 days.

[Solly Mack]

27. I'm sorry about the knee replacement! But you might better get it now.

You know Ryan and the rest are just itching for January to get here.

[malaise]

28. I expected that during the primaries

I never expected this lunatic to win

[Lotusflower70]

29. In regard to mental illness

It's a serious insult to actual mentally ill people. He has his issues no doubt but he is more evil as well as unhinged. He won't go quietly into that good night or any sort of night. He would go kicking and screaming. They would have to gag him because he would be so loud and probably spitting too. I don't see him lasting four years because he will get bored. He is narcissistic but I also see adhd as well.

[Hekate]

30. His enablers and handlers have to prop him up until after he gets sworn in. Otherwise....

....Pence cannot be sworn in in lieu of Trump; he can only be a replacement after the fact.

The thought of a Prez Pence is scary -- but one ray of sunshine is that he would immediately clear out Jared and the Trump Spawn and send them back to the golden tower.

[bravenak]

31. He will be sworn in from his bano

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. The tweets are a distraction

He always makes them when other nasty shit is going down.
