I wouldn’t go as far to say that he’s mentally ill.

What else does he have to do before you’ll go that far?

Forget someone standing right beside him during a public speech?

Only a medical professional can make that determination. Laypeople are not qualified for that.

I never said I was qualified. But it’s quite apparent anyway.

You may find some laypeople will be making a determination on the status of his mental health when voting comes around again…

Wikipedia says:

Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, egotistical traits. Different conceptions of psychopathy have been used throughout history. These conceptions are only partly overlapping and may sometimes be contradictory.

Right. I’m not an expert, but sociopathy has never struck me as a mental illness. In plain English, I don’t think that Trump is mentally ill. I just think he is an extremely self-absorbed bad person, with unfortunately some charisma.

Apparently the DSM-5, the book on mental disorders, classifies personality disorders, like sociopathy, as mental illnesses. So if you were to take a very simplistic view of things based on public behavior, you could make the argument that Trump is mentally ill.

Trump has tweeted twenty times today.

I’m perfectly fine taking the simplistic view on him. Maybe he’s clinically ill, maybe he’s just a fucking terrible person, maybe he’s both, who cares? He’s awful through-and-through and the reasons don’t matter.

Does he seriously think anybody in PR can read his tweets right now?

I’m not too sure based on his words and actions so far… that he gives a lot of thought on what is actually happening in Puerto Rico - and his tweets were likely made in between concentrating on holes on the golf course (again).
 

Kodi Gaddis ((https://twitter.com/KodiGaddis)) sums things up pretty well in his tweet replies to Trump…

‘They are not believing the fake news since they don’t have power.’
‘You’d know that if you went to help them.’
‘They are seeing people that NEED water.’
‘That NEED food.’
‘That NEED medical.’
‘That are begging for help.’
‘That don’t want to die.’
‘And you are sitting here tweeting about the “media?”’
‘Get over yourself, man’

In an 11-hour period beginning at 7:19 a.m. and ending at 6:46 p.m. Saturday, the President of the United States ripped off 18 – yes, 18! – tweets dealing with the dire situation in Puerto Rico following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria.

What’s more remarkable than Donald Trump – aka the commander in chief, aka the most most powerful person in the country – tapping out 18 tweets on a single subject in less than 12 hours is the tone of those tweets: Negative, defensive and dark.And

And he’s at it again this morning.

We have done a great job with the almost impossible situation in Puerto Rico. Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates,…

There’s a continuation after that one but that’s the one that matters.

So, what’s the alternative to not negotiating again?

Oh yeah.

Somebody isn’t going to be allowed in the X Presidents with that attitude.
