I don’t think so.

It would be an interesting experiment if it was performed at a sporting event. I’d bet a lot of people would stand up for it.

Just on a slight tangent; a few winners on the podium at sporting events have had the wrong anthem played for them down the years. Some laugh it off - others were a little upset.

The people standing for it ironically and the people standing for it on face-value could unite as one!

never get Roseanne Barr to sing the National Anthem. Why would you do that? She’s a comedian, not a singer. Also the whomever was responsible for the borat screw up, should be shot for stupidity.

President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!

Trump’s sex life disgusts and infuriates me.

I wouldn’t like to hastily jump on the “Trump is mentally ill!” train, but I did find this article interesting.

https://www.statnews.com/2017/05/23/donald-trump-speaking-style-interviews/

Research has shown that changes in speaking style can result from cognitive decline. STAT therefore asked experts in neurolinguistics and cognitive assessment, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists, to compare Trump’s speech from decades ago to that in 2017; they all agreed there had been a deterioration, and some said it could reflect changes in the health of Trump’s brain.

In interviews Trump gave in the 1980s and 1990s (with Tom Brokaw, David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey, Charlie Rose, and others), he spoke articulately, used sophisticated vocabulary, inserted dependent clauses into his sentences without losing his train of thought, and strung together sentences into a polished paragraph, which — and this is no mean feat — would have scanned just fine in print. This was so even when reporters asked tough questions about, for instance, his divorce, his brush with bankruptcy, and why he doesn’t build housing for working-class Americans.

Trump fluently peppered his answers with words and phrases such as “subsided,” “inclination,” “discredited,” “sparring session,” and “a certain innate intelligence.” He tossed off well-turned sentences such as, “It could have been a contentious route,” and, “These are the only casinos in the United States that are so rated.” He even offered thoughtful, articulate aphorisms: “If you get into what’s missing, you don’t appreciate what you have,” and, “Adversity is a very funny thing.”

You might not like it but eventually you’re gonna be pushed onto it.

The only thing that will push me on to it is a statement from a certified psychiatrist who has personally seen Trump confirming so.

There has to be a reason that psychology associations warn against their members discussing the mental health of public figures.

There is, and I generally agree. But at some point the evidence is overwhelming.

The problem is, everybody’s definition of the point is different. We’re also all dummies on the Internet with no substantial training in these fields. I don’t make assumptions about your mental health because it would be inappropriate to do so. Neither would I make assumptions about other aspects of your health. Even if I were trained in the psychology profession, I still would not be able to make judgements based on posts on an Internet forum.

Health is serious business. Let’s leave it those who are serious practitioners of that business.

@LindseyGrahamSC: Really enjoyed a round of golf with President @realDonaldTrump today.

President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!

Not that it matters but

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/10/lindsey-graham-almost-certainly-lied-about-trumps-golfing.html

If Trump runs his golf game like he runs everything else, he has a cadre of forward-guard caddies who drop or move balls to favorable positions, and a rear-guard of caddies whose job is to applaud and praise him. He might honestly think he shot a 73.

Sure.

Me calling him crazy is shorthand for all the obvious problems he has, which are numerous and shouldn’t be denied by anyone. Whether any of them rise to the level of actually being a technical mental illness is really beyond the point.
