Something strange goin on [View all]

Years ago I was a field investigator and operated off the William James model that we are creatures of habit and the Fritz Perls concept of the Gestalt, that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. These models worked for me because I had about a 90 percent or more success rate in my investigations that held up in the state circuit court. That is why I am becoming aware that something is seriously going on with Trump. His disastrous trip to Paris and his total lack of involvement in the Veterans' Day events tells me that he is becoming completely dysfunctional and that something major is going on or is imminent in happening. I can only speculate what that might be, but I do believe he knows something that has caused him to retreat as much as possible into his man-cave. And what will the Republicans do if he gets worse and has a total breakdown? The 25th Amendment is a gigantic hurdle to overcome so I don't believe that is an option. Any thoughts on this would appreciated. I do feel Trump's days are numbered. His behaviors appear to indicate that and he knows it.
