"It's a madhouse"

I feel like taylor in the planet of the apes. Everything has been turned upside down. Nothing makes sense.

I am very happy the news media is starting to call trump a liar. However , things are much more serious. The news media needs to start reporting that trump is mentally ill. We are in danger.

Lack of self-control, lying, manipulating others, and verbally attacking people who refuse to obey you ----other people exhibit these behaviors who are not mentally ill.

He is well oriented and is behaving as I would expect him to behave in a challenging situation.

He know right from wrong. He is choosing wrong as has been his habit for decades.

Some would-be tyrants might be mentally ill but not this one.

holding that person accountable for his/her actions and not letting the bad actor claim he/she is not responsible for his/her actions because of mental illness.


Where I live there are Republicans who are interested in using the 25th amendment to the constitution remove Trump and let Pence become president. They are interested because they think Pence will be able to achieve their goals-Trump is not seen as being effective.

They also think it will help shut down investigations because the public will lose interest.
