1. No, he isn't...

...and, now, he has the power of the military and federal forces at his command.

[BamaRefugee]

21. and he will use them

No toddler leaves any toys in the toy box.

[cstanleytech]

22. Just wait until the childish tantrum when he finds out that the powers arent infinite. nt

[Kath2]

2. He is disturbed.

And the fact that he is POTUS scares the shit out of me.

[Afromania]

3. ya know

It never occurs to this twit that if he wants people to like him then be good to everybody; it's just that simple.

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. That's not how republicans act, generally. Certainly not those in positions

of power.

[Afromania]

8. yea

I know. I know. But it bares repeating not for those that understand and are scouring the site for posts to either point fingers or fresh bulletin board material. That one up above is for them.

[cilla4progress]

5. The

Biscuit.... is his ego capable of waging violence against his own citizens?

[HipChick]

7. I think it is...he would not bat an eyelid

if he thought they were against him...ie enemies..

[2naSalit]

15. He already thinks that of about

two thirds of US citizens and most of the rest of the world population... everyone is at least inferior if not an enemy.

[Jacob Boehme]

6. IMO the best quote from the article was this:

Some of the president’s supporters found the first weekend troubling. L. Lin Wood, a prominent libel lawyer who was a vocal defender of Mr. Trump’s on Twitter during the campaign, said that he considered it a dangerous debut.

“To someone who believed we might have a good opportunity to change, it’s just a terrible start. Because he’s got a long way to go,” Mr. Wood said. “This is going to go downhill quickly if it’s not changed, and that’s not good for any of us.”

[Sunny05]

9. Wow. And that guy,

the libel lawyer, is just now able to see this in the oo.

Thanks for sharing, though. I had not seen this article but am about to check it out.

[snort]

20. If you're a libel lawyer

its okay to suck at judging character.

[Jim Beard]

10. We can not afford to have a president

in psychotherapy for 4 years.

[LeftInTX]

13. I doubt if he would go

There is really nothing the matter with psychotherapy. I would not be surprised if presidents have utilized it in the past. It is a very stressful job.

[Moostache]

14. He took the oath but he is NOT the real president...

This country was handed to Paul Ryan and Mike Pence to do what they will and Trump is the circus clown to divert everyone's attention.

While the press breathlessly follows his every single utterance and Tweet and internet meme, those sons of bitches are going to gut this country for the next 40 years. Thinking about it makes my head hurt....pondering that a mere 200,000 votes in 3 states that gave this abomination to the world and to history are going to be responsible for MILLIONS of people suffering and untold numbers dying unnecessarily...

It is not getting any better with time...since Election Night I have had to stop watching news broadcasts and news shows because they enrage me in seconds and the vapidity of the press corp on whole is immensely depressing.

We are well and truly fucked as a species.

[AJT]

18. Let's not forget

The Heritage Foundation.

[Ken Burch]

25. ...could we have them put him on a 70,128-hour hold?...

[madaboutharry]

11. Not only that, several people around him are not stable.

Sean Spicer is unsuited for the job of press secretary. That is a job for a low key and calm person., not a hot head who emotionally reacts.

Kellyanne Conway only does well in the company of sycophants and those who fawn over her. When challenged she becomes defensive and combative.

There are probably a couple of cool heads in the cabinet, but with most of them being clueless it is unlikely they will be able to calm the waters. They will be preoccupied with figuring out what they're supposed to do.

This administration is going to be a mess. And once the Russian spies are revealed, the shit is going to fly. Donald Trump, for the first time in his life finds himself not in control. If he doesn't end up in a straight jacket, I'll be surprised.

[dalton99a]

16. Crazies tend to attract crazies

[blue neen]

17. Yep.

From the article:

"But Mr. Spicer, who often berated reporters for what he called biased coverage during the campaign, shares Mr. Trump’s dark view of the news media and advocated an opening-day declaration of war."

[ProudLib72]

12. How long until

the D.C. cops show up at the WH because of reports of domestic abuse? Not being funny here. I would not want to around him now. Who knows what he's capable of?

[Ken Burch]

29. Or Children's services when Barron moves in this summer.

After all, remember what he turned these two into:

[YOHABLO]

19. Trump will be a vengeful President because he knows how much the American people dislike him.

Unless of course he is mentally unstable, and thinks we all love him. So far there's nothing to ''love'' him for. He will allow the Repuglicans to go after all the support that the less fortunate have right now to keep them afloat. They're starting with block grants for Medicaid ... and we all know that's not going to work.

[Mr.Bill]

23. The Generals in his cabinet

will lead the military coup if he gets careless with our military might. Bet on it.

[justgamma]

24. His envy of President Obama

is driving that man insane. Unfortunately for him he will never have what Obama has.

[Ken Burch]

26. "Unfortunately for him he will never have what Obama has."

I suspect that is true on more levels than we'd like to think about.

[SeattleVet]

27. 'driving that man insane'...

that's definitely not a drive.

A short putt, at best, between him and rubber walls and a really nice coat that ties in the back.

[manicraven]

28. Therapy wouldn't even help tRump. He's not one to ever admit he has a weakness or

problem. It's always someone else who gets blamed. The guy is mentally ill for sure and has no empathy for anyone else, uses people like a parasite, never takes responsibility for his actions, is a pathological liar, has a grandiose impression of himself, is sexually promiscuous, thinks laws don't apply to himself... What does this all fit into? Narcissism and/or psychopath. That's who is at the helm. It's terrifying.

Anyway, he's in his 70s and a grandfather. Why would anyone think he's going to change now?
