recognizing a sad and deluded man obviously begging for attention.

I used to volunteer at a homeless shelter and would from time to time run into someone like this: people adrift in a reality they couldn't understand, mistreated by a culture that refuses to make allowances for any serious divergence from "the norm." Of course, none of them were rich, none of them had any sort of access to power.

But if I saw Trump on a park bench, I'd give him a piece of my mind and then run for the hills.

Trump gives people with mental illness a bad name. He should be in treatment, or jail, or both, instead of campaigning for president.
