    There are lots of bad people like this - mentally unwell, think the world revolves around them, pathological liars, and generally very, very fucking stupid.

    What’s much sadder is that out of all the people that could be President, this asshole is in the office, and still has support, despite all the constant lying.

      For someone who uses the "Thou Shalt Not"s in the bible as a checklist, he really has convinced a surprising number of Christians that think he’s a holy icon.

    The fact that he is all of that is one thing. But normally society would work to minimize the impact. The problem is we have 1/3 of this country and multiple branches of government enabling it. And that’s the biggest reason we’re fucked.

    He has dementia. They’ve known he’s got dementia since his first term.

    Every day that passes without the 25th Amendment being invoked, Article 2 Section IV of the US Constitution being invoked, or articles of impeachment being filed is a day that every sitting member of Congress announces their complicity in subverting American Democracy.

    Every day that passes without the American public taking to the streets in protest is a day that every American citizen announces their complicity in allowing their nation to no longer follow the rule of law.

        Yes. Rampant untreated mental illness is a consequence of not having universal health care.

      Every day that passes with your nation doing business with the USA and using the US dollar for oil and trade proves your complicity in the machine as you feed the beast that no longer follows the rule of law.

      Quite sanctimonius. I am sure your country is perfect though, no need for you to follow your own mandates for us.

        I love it when people tell on themselves with their assumptions. Projection ain’t just for the cinema, buddy.

    No way does almost half of America believe this dude.

    Look at his polling numbers, and that is often just among likely voters - a small minority of the population.

    Dude is a turd and 70-80% of America knows it, even if they can’t do anything about it, and trust he is trying to keep it that way: y’all should make sure your ballot isn’t going to get blocked by the turd’s executive order to USPS. He definitely doesn’t want you voting.

      half don’t vote to start with, so it’s 25% that support him. Of them, 1/3 are his hardcore base. Some of the remainder are hardcore partisans. Same with the dem establishment, 30% are sheep.

      In my experience, this is true. They would rather protect their image at all costs than have a relationship with others.

    I’m not seeing a dramatic change from his first term, frankly. (Not in him personally. The huge cadre of evil un-American trolls in his administration is indeed a big difference.)

    His beliefs are lightly held, strategic choices of self-motivation and self-mythology. He announces a thing, or professes belief in a thing, as a first step toward manifesting that thing. He always has. It fails most of the time, but he has no other way of relating to the world around him. If that’s delusion, he’s been deluded his whole adult life.
