(11,832 posts)This, above all, is true. Beyond politics and policy, this man is mentally ill.
I watched my father deteriorate mentally with dementia over the course of twenty years.... yes,, I said twenty years.
It began in his late sixties and he died last January at 87. It began with forgetfulness and and inability to get restful sleep. Then came the mood swings and irrational anger. The violent temper and the paranoia. I began to judge the level of his wellness by how ling I could engage him in a conversation about present tense issues before he slipped back into stories of the old days, very often about those who had done him dirt. I see it in Trump in even the chopping motions of his arm movements and the uncertain way he walks. Sad but true.
The people close to him, most likely know. I think that this is the real reason his daughter will be at his side and not his wife.
The scariest thing about this amateur diagnosis is that the men and women who answer to him will have to play along in order to do business. What will they do, and agree to do, in order to maintain their positions is a scary prospect. Irrationality is very scary stuff.
My guess is that Melania wants to stay in NY because she can keep Baron away from a violent, irrational father.
Toward the end, before my dad had his massive stroke, the one that put him in a nursing home for two years, my mother had become afraid of him. He would lash out and threaten to hit her. I think he probably shook her a couple of times. He shook me once, oddly enough when he became enraged that I did not support George W. bush. I was shocked and saw something in his eyes that I had never seen. My sweet, funny, father, who had never laid a hand on me during my childhood, grabbed me by the arms and shook me.At the t time, I was 55. It was frightening in that I had never seen this before.
Not a doctor, but I feel like an expert.
I noticed these sort of changes with my dad especially the year before he died.
He got real nasty. Mean.
We didn't realize it was probably those narrowing arteries cutting blood to the brain.
Sorry about your difficult path.
I concur with Keith about t's mental health and have a deep fear something bad is going to happen.
Thanks for your support and for sharing your pain. We can't un-know what we know. That's a kind of curse too.
Be well.

So, we know from KO that trump stuck him the same way 30 years ago.. I would imagine with age he's only gotten exponentially worse. Hell I don't have to imagine.
Thanks, Stuart

(8,279 posts)and #NOTMYPRESIDENT will be fought tooth and nail until he grabs his chest and dies of heart failure. Surely, he's that sick. After the awful deaths in 2016, why couldn't one of them have been twitler?

(899 posts)His supporters see themselves in this sub-human ~ and they like what they see in their myopic mirror. I just read responses on the latest airport shooting on Yahoo news feed, and, as usual, they are from mostly right-wing nut jobs who fully support this POS lunatic (now PEOTUS). No mention of Dylan Roof being white ~ not Hispanic or Muslim, oh no, just that this guy in the airport was either a Hillary or Bernie supporter on and Hispanic. No mention of Timothy McVeigh or all the other white, so-called Christian shooters and murderers. SICK! I have been confined to my bed for the past month because of medical problems and have watched more teevee than ever before in my life. If this is a reflection of what our nation is all about, I just want to throw up. Just one channel really caught my attention - The Learning Channel (TLC) ~ are you kidding me? I did watch MSNBC before it took a right turn years ago, and I do enjoy the Science Channel, but with all the channels I have to choose from, I usually end up on Music Choice on their music for meditation and relaxation, just to keep my blood pressure in check and also my mind. I have suffered from the deepest depression in my life since November 8 ~ even worse than when I lost my 12-year old son many, many years ago ~ to think what's happened to our souls and our humanity. Keith is spot on and I'm sorry that more people will NEVER see this or even dare go there ~ it's the complete opposite of what has been fed to them for the last 30+ years.
