[quote=Texcaster]Allen Frances was asked to publicly speculate on Trump's mental fitness for office, he declined, it's worse than that. Trump is sane, it's America that has lost her mind.

A Psychiatrist Analyzes the Age of Trump
by Allen Frances
“Unravel[s] the national psyche that brought our politics to this moment.” — Evan Osnos, The New Yorker
A landmark book, from “one of the world’s most prominent psychiatrists” (The Atlantic): Allen Frances analyzes the nation, viewing the rise of Donald J. Trump as darkly symptomatic of a deeper societal distress that must be understood if we are to move forward. Equally challenging and profound, Twilight of American Sanity “joins a small shelf of essential titles—Arlie Hochschild’s Strangers in Their Own Land is another—that help explain why and how the Trump presidency happened” (Kirkus).
It is comforting to see President Donald Trump as a crazy man, a one-off, an exception—not a reflection on us or our democracy. But in ways I never anticipated, his rise was absolutely predictable and a mirror on our soul. … What does it say about us, that we elected someone so manifestly unfit and unprepared to determine mankind’s future? Trump is a symptom of a world in distress, not its sole cause. Blaming him for all our troubles misses the deeper, underlying societal sickness that made possible his unlikely ascent. Calling Trump crazy allows us to avoid confronting the craziness in our society—if we want to get sane, we must first gain insight about ourselves. Simply put: Trump isn’t crazy, but our society is. —from TWILIGHT OF AMERICAN SANITY[/quote]
Or very smart to not have voted for the old Biatch.

Oh wait. Sorry, I was thinking of someone who isn't retarded.
Sure wouldn't be your mentally retarded neanderthal family members who sit on tree limbs masturbating all day long. When does the zoo let them out for day?

"Simply put: Trump isn’t crazy, but our society is. —from TWILIGHT OF AMERICAN SANITY." I think the author meant to explain he is referring to the crazy liberal left who lack any semblance of polite, reasonable deportment.

Although the article is 6 months old, the content rings true.
We've watched the mental and cognate state of trumps mind declining, and those around him are enabling his continued attacks on the US Constitution as they cover for him and push his lies.
How many in the White House and the trump administration will be charged with criminal negligence once the dust settles?
Shithead1697 can't get over that we kicked his goose-steeping ass every day. You lost yesterday, today and tomorrow and will continue for the next 6 1/2 years. Hope those
leftists on the Scotus die soon so we can replace them the sooner the bettor.

As long as you're hoping for people to die, I'd like to remind you that Trump is 72, doesn't exercise and loves fast food. Just sayin.

Lib fascist Dems will embrace this because it fits their hate filled narrative. They are in for another surprise come Election Day and more lib fascist Dems will meltdown. They are stuck on stupid.
Fascists are not and have never been liberal. Trump is a fascist. Learn your history. Its funny, in a sad way, that trumpies want non whites to have nothing and be subservient to whites. But those who wish this are rich whites whose sole purpose is to rip off that opposite segment of society that live humbly without much money. But both support the trump. No one wants to be on the bottom rung, I suppose.
President Trump has done more for non-whites than Obama ever dreamed of doing. For example, minority unemployment is at it's historical low. Quit spouting your mindless left trivial.
