(73,537 posts)I had one of the never-ending medical appointments that I attend these days. (Well, I hope they don't end any time soon, all things considered!) I brought my copy of the book. The doctor saw it, and cracked up laughing. He said that I am addicted to politics. Correct diagnosis. He's a Vietnam veteran, and a moderate republican who often votes for Democrats.
He said he had hoped that somehow, Trump would stabilize, and respect the office he inhabits. But just the parts of Woodward's book he has seen or read about have convinced him that Trump is the national crisis. And he believes Trump has displayed a marked increase in insane behavior since the book and op-ed came out.
I asked if he took comfort in knowing that Pence believes that God is planning for him to take over? I noted that in my years of employment at the mental health clinic, I found those who conversed one-on-one with God were psychotic. He agreed, and said he worries about both Trump and Pence doing severe damage to our nation.
