Range & Despair

President Trump has exhibited a clear loss of mental acuity to the extent that he is no longer qualified (if he ever was) to be president of the United States. Example 1 – He appeared to be falling asleep during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.

He is not qualified to represent the United States nor be entrusted with the complicated negotiations within our government or with dubious leaders of other world powers.

He should be declared mentally incompetent and Section 4 of the 25th amendment should be invoked, officially removing him from the presidency. If he does claim to be competent, then he simply is a despicable human who feels he doesn’t have to observe the rules of common decency and respect that we uphold when communicating with our fellow man.

“In the last few weeks, Trump’s insults, tantrums, and threats have exploded.

To one correspondent he said: ‘Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? You’re just asking questions because you’re a stupid person.’

Another: [you’re] ‘third rate … ugly, both inside and out.’

About Somali immigrants to the United States: ‘Garbage’ whom ‘we don’t want in our country.’

To Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey: ‘Quiet. Quiet, piggy.’

About Democratic lawmakers who told military members to defy illegal orders: guilty of ‘sedition … punishable by DEATH.’”

Translation: he is willing to kill anyone who gets in his way.
