Is Trump Mad?

[Bonefishblues]

Sure he could get poorly or a smoking gun might be found, but I think that essentially a second term is in his gift. As I've commented previously let's revisit anon!

He may have a trip to Dallas.......

[661-Pete]

...or there may be a latter-day von Stauffenberg biding his time in the wings...

[djnotts]

He has certainly never reflected upon "beware the enemy within...." - needs to choose his armed guards carefully...……..

" After face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump contradicted US intelligence agencies and said there had been no reason for Russia to meddle in the vote."

Cuomo the mayor of NYC is my tip for the next president
..
- Mr Clinton, do you think Mr Obama is ready to be president?
- Nobody is ready for that job!

" After face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump contradicted US intelligence agencies and said there had been no reason for Russia to meddle in the vote."

...and welcomed the offer from Mr Putin to send specialists to, wait for it, steady now, investigate allegations of Russian interference in the US Election.

Sometimes you just couldn't make it up.

Cuomo the mayor of NYC is my tip for the next president

Andrew Cuomo (son of Mario) is Governor of NY state, not mayor of NYC. That office is currently held by Bill de Blasio. But either of those gentlemen has got to be a step forward!

Plus One, President and Vice-president, problem solved

Just got to get over that small hurdle of democratic elections somehow.

Mischievous Mr Putin might swop sides just because he can!

One thing I've remarked on for some time now, is this POTUS's functional illiteracy.

Surely others must have noticed it too? Listen to any of his utterances at news conferences and the like. Like the one he delivered today after the meeting with Putin. His command of the English language is no better than that of a six-year-old. He has a very limited vocabulary and is incapable of constructing sentences with any degree of complexity.

Does any of this matter?

I say it does. Poor literacy often signals low intelligence. And a POTUS of low intelligence would be a significant danger, even were it not for his many other vices and villainies - all too well-known and too many to enumerate.

The word 'idiot' doesn't really describe the creature fully enough. 'Imbecile' might be closer. But I'd go for 'person with severe learning difficulties'...

Am just watching the Ed Balls programme on Trump. Do watch it if you haven't

His lack of fluency in language and pathetically limited vocabulary is of long standing, and for some reason his supporters just don't notice, like they refuse to see his lies. It does seem to have got worse recently, but I don't know whether that's due to deterioration of his (already limited) faculties or that he is a-in a continual state of rage and paranoia. Or both. It's hard to believe that he actually graduated from even a crummy college, let alone the one he went to.

I read one article that suggested has limited literacy and intelligence fits with the profile of a large sector of his voting base. They feel that he is on the same level as them, and as such they identify with him, as opposed to an intelligent, literate President who is one of the mythical "Elite"

Mr Trump is very rich, influential, successful altogether, very healthy at over 70, does lots of sports (golf)
His subjects want to be like him

The European media are obsessed with him but what do we know or understand? How much do US citizens in flyover country know about Europe?
