9. Yes. So true.

I always thought he was a despicable person, and wondered if much of the "base" who sprang up (not the Roger Stone types behind him) had any idea of who he always was, but knew him only from The Apprentice (and maliciously and vicariously enjoyed him). We're all pretty frustrated these days, but those who choose the "Trump solution," rather than the sane Socialist (Bernie type) solution aren't helping anyone, let alone themselves. I can hardly believe that Trump has been far worse than I imagined.

5. They got away with the 8 year debate because Obama just laughed it off.

Obama knew that it was a created meme pushed by the GOP and FOX.

Whereas any attempt to call out Trump is met with "Fake News". Cycled and recycled by FOX through the GOP ranks and Trumps tweeter back into the cycle.

Progressive should reply "Fake Election".

The media (non fox news) seem inclined to follow Fox on many stories. That is why news outlets like CNN, ABC, MSNBC would have ever covered the Obama birther scenario.

If they weren't so busy grabbing every dollar in sight, they would realize Trump's compromised mental health puts everyone at risk.

11. That's a false statement. The media HAS discussed Trump's mental health.

Which is a remarkable thing, suggesting the President isn't mentally fit.

Joy on MSNBC, I think Chris Matthews on MSNBC, some pundits on tv have suggested this as a possibility.

Also, David Frum of The Atlantic, has referenced Trump's obvious mental health issues.




Paul Krugman questioned Trump's mental health early on.


Need I go on? Who exactly hasn't mentioned Trump's mental health that the tweeter thinks should?

His cognitive decline may be reinforcing his antisocial behavior. If he starts urinating in public, thoughtful Republican Congressman will buy more toilet paper so they can deal with what comes next.
