Seriously, Donald Trump is not well.

[madaboutharry]

He is unfit to serve as president, but not only because of his temperament or lack of intellect or understanding of government. After witnessing his speech today, it is obvious there is something very wrong with him medically or neurologically. What we witnessed today was something far beyond a lack of self-discipline. The people around him are either clueless and in denial, covering up for him, or afraid of him.

1. I agree he acts like he has a mental problem of some kind. n/t

[MousePlayingDaffodil]

2. Perhaps . . .

. . . although I think there are a very large number of dim-witted, repulsive, self-absorbed people about who are not, in any real sense, medically or neurologically "unwell." It's just that such people don't usually rise to such prominence in a major political party.

The problem isn't Trump. The problem, rather, are those within the Republican Party that support Trump and have put him into that position of prominence. In other words, the GOP is now controlled by dim-witted, repulsive, self-absorbed people.

3. I heard somewhere that he takes a natural speed fen fen

A lot of his behaviors could be from long term pharmceutical abuse.

11. Phen-fen was a combo weight loss drug that caused permanent heart problems in some.

Thing was, it worked like a miracle aside from that. They still market the fen portion, Fentermine, but only in generic form -- it works on weight loss, but as a generic it has really sucky side effects.

Personally I didn't get the effect my doc was looking for (I have one or two sleep disorders) but I lost 20 pounds just like that, which cheered me up no end. Still, I will not take it again.

Anyway, it's certainly no herbal supplement.

4. That's a big problem

But it warms my heart that it's the GOP's problem (presently).
Frankenstein, meet your monster.

5. The goons on fox don't seem to notice.

[okasha]

6. Could be chronic drug and alcohol abuse.

Could be Alzheimer's onsetting with the combative phase.

[k8conant]

9. I've read that he doesn't drink...

because his brother had alcoholism (and died of it).

[seabeyond]

7. And he is going to gain access to govt shit. Nt

[COLGATE4]

8. He has I problems.

"I this", "I that", "I said", "I will do ....".Trump is the greatest narcissist I have ever seen. The only thing that interests him and that dominates any conversation he is engaged in is Donald Trump. The other words are just stream of consciousness place-holders until he can engage in something else about Donald Trump.

13. Yep. There's a good possibility he has Narcissistic Petsonality Disorder

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

Requires excessive admiration

Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

[LeftRant]

10. Sorry, which thing today are we talking about?

I heard some smack talk at a rally but it sounded like what he usually does (yes, mental). Just curious if I missed something especially stupid :p

[unblock]

12. Sure, he has a raging case of republicanitis

Actually, I think mostly he's just an extreme narcissist who is in way over his head and is scared sh*tless that he will be tarred as a loser.

He knows this time he can't just put a subsidiary into bankruptcy to escape that embarrassment.

[patricia92243]

14. Narcissist forever. Old and dementia now. I can't believe his family is not aware of this

and still back him for president.
