1. Trump is more than "unwell".

Far worse than that.

[MineralMan]

2. Dude's Not Helping Himself There,

I'm thinking.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. If we thought the violence the deplorables would have committed if

the KGB hadnt stolen the election was bad, imagine what it will be like if and when justice is served.

Like I keep saying, too bad he isnt a Democrat, both parties would have impeached him his 2nd day in office on the emoluments clause.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Trump' paranoia is increasing daily. Sociopathy or psychosis?

If it is just a ploy, and he knows this stuff is not true, then his sociopathy is becoming more
and more apparent.

If he actually believes this stuff, then his psychosis is become more evident.

Either way, not a good situation.

[bdamomma]

32. well tRump

likes to sit in front of his TV especially is a fan of FOX news.

[Irish_Dem]

42. Yes, he is in a closed feedback loop of his own making.

He is not capable of gathering the facts in any situation and making
an independent decision.

He listens to propoganda and believes it.
Or uses it to further his own agenda.
And his staff play the game with him, telling him what he wants to hear.
To avoid his temper tantrums.

[SummerSnow]

4. Wow, nothing he says surprises me. However,

all he is doing is making it really bad for him if he fires Mueller. This statement along with the other statements is screaming 'obstruction'. It's driving him bats (no offense to bats) that he can't do what he wants to do.

[Iliyah]

5. I hope Mueller take Sessions and the rest of t-rump's minions down

as well. Blood slowing leaking in t-rump's waters. Let the sharks begin.

[Xolodno]

6. Bannon wasn't so woried about Congress impeaching...

...Dump as he was worried more about the 25th Amendment. Really beginning to fully understand that sentiment.

[Fred Sanders]

7. All aided and abetted by Fox and RW extremist media. No evil is too much for them to support.

[sarcasmo]

8. Parroting Fox news

[gibraltar72]

9. They all must

take a loyalty oath immediately!

[L. Coyote]

10. Birtherism 2.0, completely crazy with extra paranoia.

from: Trump is a paranoid "Deep State" conspiracy theorist.

11. as much as I hate Trump

and think he is a conspiracy theorist, I think Dworkin's reading of Trumps' tweet is a punctuation issue.

Here's Trump's original tweet, which is as incoherent as can be

Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others

reading the tea leaves, I think he meant to write something like "Jail! Deep State! Justice Dept must finally act"

so that "Deep State" is a noun, not an adjective on Justice Dept.

But then, here we are trying to parse the ramblings of a madman.

[SunSeeker]

13. No, he is unmistakably calling the Justice Department "Deep State."

Trump knows how to use exclamation points. He does it often. He is not accusing Huma of being Deep State. He is accusing the Justice Department of being Deep State.

[ProfessorPlum]

19. you are probably right

in Trump's case, the craziest interpretation is likely the correct one.

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. WE need to remember, Trump doesnt know what "deep state" even means, Bannon told him

about it but he isnt bright enough nor mentally hinged enough to remember or understand it.

What he KNOWS is the phrase gets him traction with the deplorables.

BTW,. if the deplorables would become patriots, we could solve the trump and GOP problem almost overnight.

[bdamomma]

34. the deplorables

are not the majority of people, they are in their own deep misery. No use to even reason with them. Oh silly me, who pays attention to fact/truth. I hope all that hate they consume will consume them.

[Eliot Rosewater]

36. No, they arent the majority of the population but they almost ALL vote and it is my

belief that 4 out of 10 voters in November will be deplorables, more or less.

[bdamomma]

41. but when they see they

have no healthcare any more will that deter them???? and whatever else the GOP takes away from the American people will that wake them up????

[ProfessorGAC]

47. 40%?

Seems too high, Eliot.
There are still the disaffected and the fooled.
And I would guess it's a third, a third, & a third of the 36% who approve.

[Eliot Rosewater]

48. What I am saying is 35% of the population as you say but the percentage of VOTERS

they are higher than that.

Deplorables vote, especially compared to liberals.

[ProfessorGAC]

49. Yeah, That Makes Sense

But, i still think that a decent percentage of those are the "what was i thinking" crowd, and others were the "i always vote republican" but very well might be turned off by this idiot.

[triron]

14. Context does not seem to support this but who knows.

[dchill]

39. ICBW, but I think you're mistaken.

Except about "the ramblings of a madman."

[IronLionZion]

12. I'm still hoping he'll have a complete mental breakdown

Although it's good to have a delusional dipshit to run against. This can help Dems retake both houses of Congress in 2018 and some state legislatures.

[Bob Loblaw]

28. How would anyone know?

nt

[IronLionZion]

31. When he outsources our FBI and Justice dept to the Russians

and maybe even the intelligence agencies too

[Bob Loblaw]

37. Why would he outsource jobs

he's probably trying to eliminate altogether?

Just not sure anyone could identify a tipping point for a breakdown when he's so mentally challenged already.

[SunSeeker]

15. Sickening.

[Scurrilous]

16. K&R

[infullview]

17. Trump will have a medical exam at Walter Reed next year.

Can you say set up for triggering the 25th amendment?

[NastyRiffraff]

21. I don't think that exam checks for mental illness

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's only a physical exam. Mental fitness SHOULD be a part of it, but it's not.

[rusty fender]

18. Why is he whining about the Justice Department?

His racist hobgoblin lackey is in charge of it

[pangaia]

20. This is very dangerous. Please take it seriously, one and all.

[LenaBaby61]

22. That asshole tRumputin's ...

Continual trashing of the FBI is making for a dangerous situation, where you'll have people rioting in the streets and God knows what else if he has to leave office--even if for medical reasons--his crazy base and folks like them will STILL say that he was forced to leave by the "Deep State."

[oberliner]

23. Isn't the Justice Department run by his own appointees?

[They_Live]

24. If Trump doesn't like it,

maybe he should move to Russia. Y'know, instead of reinventing it over here.

[bdamomma]

38. he should he loves

"golden showers"

[C Moon]

25. Didn't Nixon start getting paranoid like this, too?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Not quite as bad as this, and not as publicly, but yes.

He was paranoid to start out with; that's why Watergate happened in the first place. Although it hasn't been proved that Nixon ordered the break-in, he was very paranoid long before that time about who might be out to "get" him. (Spying on the DNC was completely unnecessary because it was apparent that Nixon was likely to win the 1972 election anyhow.) And it only got worse from there.

[C Moon]

29. Great. Thanks!

[bdamomma]

40. Yes, the repeat

of All the Presidents Men Revisited was on last night on MSNBC. Nixon was his own worst enemy too.

[dchill]

33. As opposed to the Trumsky Loyalty Pledged Department of Justice.

No Democrats allowed. That includes FBI and reporters covering the TLPDOJ.

[ehrnst]

35. Is he reading the Intercept now? (nt)

[Kirk Lover]

43. He is desperately trying to muddy the waters in any which way he can. n/t

[triron]

44. yes desperation is wht it's about

[LiberalLovinLug]

45. How can anyone think that there is a Democratic party controlled "deep state"?

When all branches of government are in control of the Reich Wing? If that actually were the case, even after 8 years of Republicans in control of everything BUT the Presidency, and trying everything they can to stop Obama, then they are more inept that even I thought. They could spend endless money and time for multiple Benghazi investigations, but can't stop Democrats, with no political power left, from carrying out their nefarious secret plans. Is it some dark secret Marvel comics force like Agents of SHIELD? They fly around in a cloakable high tech plane all over America spreading their liberal propaganda?

Gawd I hope so

[Tommy_Carcetti]
