    And those of us who have lived in NY have known this for decades.
    He's getting worse, and it's astonishing to me anyone could have voted for 'Lyin' Donald, the juvenile tweeting lunatic. The guy who "made Atlantic City crater again."

    ‘ART OF THE DEAL’ GHOSTWRITER: TRUMP IS ‘DEEPLY DISTURBED’ AND ‘UTTERLY UNTRUSTWORTHY’
    BY CONOR GAFFEY
    http://www.newsweek.com/art-deal-donald-trump-mental-ill-674151

    The ghostwriter of President Donald Trump’s best-selling book The Art of the Deal has suggested that the president may suffer from a personality disorder and said he is “deeply disturbed and utterly untrustworthy.”

    Tony Schwartz, who spent 18 months shadowing the businessman in the 1980s, offered his opinion on Trump’s fitness for office ahead of the publication of a collection of essays by 27 psychiatrists and mental health experts assessing the president’s psychological condition.

    “The question that this book raises in a number of its essays by psychiatrists is: Is Trump crazy like a fox or is he just crazy?” said Schwartz, appearing on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360° on Thursday.

    “And I think the overwhelming weight of evidence suggests that he’s just crazy, and not crazy, casual crazy. I’m talking about crazy—I’m not a psychiatrist, so I actually can get away with saying this—but crazy as a personality disorder.”

    The authors of the collection of essays—The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump—conclude that Trump is “the most dangerous man in the world” and that his role and behavior as president of the United States poses a threat to the safety and well-being of American citizens.

    Schwartz also said that White House chief of staff John Kelly was man-managing Trump in a bid to limit the negative impact the president’s actions might have.

    “I do believe John Kelly knows clearly that Trump is deeply disturbed and that he is utterly untrustworthy, and he is managing him all the time out of some belief—put aside ideology—out of some belief that it’s better that he be there than he not be there,” said Schwartz.

    “I never met anybody who worked for Trump who didn’t know who Trump was within a very short time,” he added.

    Schwartz declares that 1+1=2 and that the Ocean contains Water.

    yes but in reality, they know so much about that which isnt so. Case in point, they are now self appointed doctors.

    Everyone knows Trump is crazy.. He used to crash charity galas in NYC and then not donate.. He also used to contact reporters using the name Baron and talk about how great Trump is.. He lies about his wealth and he lives for revenge. You may be the last to know.

    Documented facts about Trump have nothing to do with medicine.

    Mate, everyone accepts the man for elected. It's just a uniquely absurd event.

    I wasn't going to get my way either way. It's just, Clinton would have been a typical kind of awful. Trump is a hilarious and unusual kind of awful

    think a bit bigger. i'm a radical. i know that electoral politics is an uphill battle for the radical left. i don't endorse any candidates or vote because of that. i'm concerned with laying the groundwork for a radical left surge at this point.

    I refuse to vote because I believe it's a waste of time. I refuse to ask for what I don't want, and there's no option to ask for what I do want.

    No ;-)

    Trump's behavior ( particularly verbal) Does justify a psychiatric consultation. He seems to be deteriorating. His priorities are askew spending time provoking others, belittling others, in a very cruel way , abusing his Twitter priv. and yet what has he got to show for his almost year in office ?/ Where are the BIG and GREAT deals he promised that would make everyone so happy ?

    And yes, there is more and more concern about his mental status. (and rightly so) The fact is that he would fail basic diplomatic skills 101

    He is so self absorbed it is not even rational. Narcissism is but his most obvious symptom. He seems to like the power but not sure he actually likes the job itself. A lot of it is not very glamorous. or sensational ........and he is very sensationalist.

    He is very interesting (and concerning) to observe. The concern is that he is very over reactive and his hair trigger reaction is creating issues.

    His mental stability is in question.

    I dont think RINO senators have to be wooed like schoolgirls before they give up the goodies

    Trump was elected by 62 million voters and the senators and inside washington establishment *******s should put the votes above their own fragile ego's

    I see where the narrative is going

    The liberal news media has failed to bring trump down with the phony russia investigation and now they are building a case for the first coup in American history

    But I think that is going to fail also

    I do hope Trump is not removed from President until the 4 years are up. US politics has never been so entertaining to those not in the US. He is such an embarrassment to the US. The danger is though what he is causing to happen in the US. The divisions and hatred have never been so great. And, going by this forum, the hatred from Trump supporters towards the left is much greater than the hatred from the left towards Trump supporters. The difference is that in the main, Trump supporters directly attack the left population whereas the left attack Trump himself

    Trump is POTUS, and the voters are sheeple, believing all sorts of nonsense and rubbish. Accept it.

    Well stated. Yes, the entertainment level is astonishing .......but the caveat is that this chap has a lot of power and is showing signs of ab usingit. Today it has been noted that he would like to check the licences of NBC ,insinuating that they could be pulled .......just because they report facts and many FACTS are not complimentary t o trump. His teasing the public is NOT a cute leadership tactic. It is CHILDISH........if amusing. A TRUE and effective leader is NOT all about HIMSELF...... which is a tad boring now. Would like to see some REAL results (legislation) , not one sensational tweet after another . If the quality o fa leader is determined by the style and content of his tweets........then the US is in trouble. REGARDLESS of how many voted for this bozo. He does not appear to take the JOB seriously........but enjoys spewring out contradictory and inflammatory rhetoric. Amusing?? sure. Concerning?? yes. It is NOT a left or right issue. It is the competence of the person. He is a sensationalist and doesn't always deal in FACTS and REALITY.
