Trump is an obviously asshole, but, that does not confirm he is mentally ill. Proper evaluation and diagnosis by a qualified team of psychiatric and medical professionals after personal interaction and psychiatric testing is needed. Perhaps then Congress will move.<br /><br />Of course if Trump refuses to submit to testing and evaluation Congress should consider it confirmation of the suspected malady.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-1358080894609137852017-08-12T12:00:34.313-04:002017-08-12T12:00:34.313-04:00All that matters to Trump is popularity.

Next, after placing Guam in peril, Tump called Guam's governor and told him he would be really popular now that he's in the news.<br /><br />To Trump, all that matters is being popular and loved. And that's too bad for him, since he isn't popular nor loved. America dislikes him: 7 out of 10 Americans dislike him. He's not anywhere near popular and we dislike him with the intensity of a thousand suns.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-58081638909523601652017-08-11T22:28:49.315-04:002017-08-11T22:28:49.315-04:00Saw the letter, however, proper scientific evaluat...Saw the letter, however, proper scientific evaluation requires observation and actual interaction with the patient over a reasonable period of time by the doctor.

I imagine he now has to relieve his sexual urges on sheep, since no self-respecting woman would let that sack of blubber near her. Melania won't sleep with him, and neither will Ivanka, and who can blame them? <br /><br />Poor Trump! Whenever he opens his mouth to talk he reminds me of a child ready to roll on the floor and have a blue shit tantrum. Obviously he's a product of white affirmative action. He brags about graduating first in his class at Wharton, and that's another one of his stinkin lies. And yes, his hands are as tiny as his intelligence. He's an overfed and undereducated bag of offal with his tiny little fingers on nuclear buttons.<br /><br />Have a nice day.

Our delusionally insane leader is now saying the military is "locked and loaded". But I think that, if anything happens, it will because Trump orders a preemptive attack.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/11/politics/us-north-korea-strike-first/index.html" rel="nofollow">CNN</a>: "Estimates are that hundreds of thousands of South Koreans would die in the first few hours of combat - from artillery, from rockets, from short range missiles - and if this war would escalate to the nuclear level, then you are looking at tens of millions of casualties and the destruction of the eleventh largest economy in the world".<br /><br />Will Trump attack? Probably not. But he might. Lindsay Graham says "he has discussed the issue of North Korea in great detail with Trump and could see a scenario where the US carries out a <b>preemptive action to enforce the policy of denial of capability to hit the homeland</b>".<br /><br />As for Skud blaming Clinton, gwb and Obama... "North Korea made its nuclear break out under George W. Bush... over the course of the late 90s the US negotiated a series of agreements called the Agreed Framework which shuttered the North Koreans nuclear weapons program in exchange for a combination of commitments and aid. The Bush team argued that the agreement was <i>appeasement</i> and that the US had caught the North Koreans cheating on the agreement during Bush's first term..."

We're not in a world war now where millions and millions of people are losing their lives. Also, my personal opinion is that we shouldn't have used a nuclear weapons to destroy Hiroshima, and what was the purpose of doing it again to Nagasaki? <br /><br />You're just parroting right wing spin and talking points when you blame Clinton. <a href="http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/aug/09/viral-imag" rel="nofollow">Here are the facts.</a><br /><br />Trump showed the world what a scary little man he is by threatening "fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen." What does that mean? Will he use a nuclear weapon worse than Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That was the worst the world had ever seen, and Trump is threatening to outdo that nuclear holocaust? What exactly do his words mean?<br /><br />Also, Trump, the scary little man, after promising to send fire and fury to NK, the very next day tweeted out a fake popularity poll about him and President Obama. That is the very definition of a mentally unstable crackpot and a mad man. Why the hell is the POTUS one day threatening a nuclear holocaust and the next day tweeting about his popularity?<br /><br />Trump is sick in mind, impetuous, belligerent, and dangerous.

Clinton took the lead in allowing NK to develop nuclear capability and it continued to be allowed during GWB and BHO. BHO decreased funding to develop counter measures. <br />It is OK with many that Kim threaten the US and he is not condemned. You do know that the coasties are the ones being threatened the most but that must not register. <br />This lead from the front is upsetting to many and it seems we just need to draw a line in the sand and then apologize because we are the US. skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-78508626343478606222017-08-11T12:01:25.553-04:002017-08-11T12:01:25.553-04:00

He is sinister, he is mad, and he is itching for a fight of mass destruction.<br /><br />Trump is what rural and small-town White Christian America wanted and voted for by large margins. They were warned that he was like this, and they voted with their eyes wide open. This is their fault.Ray Cranstonnoreply@blogger.com
