The american people, the news media are not talking about the biggest threat we are facing.

Donald Trumps mental health. Trump is extremely mentally ill and we better wake up and deal with it. We are talking about his stupid tweets.

On morning joe they were talking about how trump needs a new chief of staff. Like that will solve trumps problems. It's like the whole dam country has gone mad.

What's it going to take for everyone to realize we have a very sick person in the whitehouse? A war, millions of people killed?

Nobody will seriously touch it despite how obvious it is. Mental health has always had a negative stigma attached to it in the US. Unless he's running around the white house in his underwear chasing invisible birdies will the GOP even consider it. By that time he'll have made the rest of us as crazy as he is.

I watch his Resistance clips and have for months. He is as pissed as the rest of us, tells us everything the way it really is. He restores my sanity on a daily basis. LOVE him.

Very few people address the fact that he is NOT normal. Yes, there have been a few voices crying out for his mental health issues to be addressed. But generally no one wants to touch the subject. His behavior is always treated as the actions of a perfectly rational individual.

I am sure that behind closed doors, members of Congress and news professionals talk about it but on camera, few are willing to go there. I don't know if it is due to their lack of knowledge about Narcissistic Personality Disorder or they are afraid to talk about the idea that we have elected someone supremely unfit for the job. A man who many experts acknowledge was elected with help from Russia, in spite of the fact that there were problems with his campaign that would have sunk any other candidate. There are plenty of easy to understand articles about NPD written in terms anyone can understand, so there is no excuse for not knowing. And the facts about Russia's interference in our election are finally coming into clearer focus.

I don't know what it will take to make people understand the danger we face with this grossly underqualified person as our President. Maybe it's because he can appear to be normal. He is not picking daisies off the wall. He seems lucid. Many are willing to chalk it all up to his jackass persona, the big time, hard nosed businessman. But it is way beyond any of those things.

It just blows my mind that members of Congress are willing to look the other way, ignore the obvious. The adage "Money talks and bullshit walks." somehow seems appropriate here.
