If the man at the top may be unstable - then the White House is likely to exhibit some instability - as well as some efforts by the White House staff - who are normal infighters - to undermine and replace the man at the top. The problem, however, is how to accomplish regime change (the replacement of a mentally unstable incumbent with another member of the ruling political party) within the very strict confines of the United States Constitution - and within the constraint of maintaining the full faith and confidence of the citizens. Time to bring Mike Pence up to bat.

If we use the Trump "mentally ill" Standard, then we have to apply it to Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee who I suspect wake up in a different world every day. I see a man who came into office, bringing jobs back to America using muscle instead of begging. I see a man who is lifting the regulatory burden on large and small business. I see a man trying to get the best and brightest into positions that can restore a functioning government. instead of ego driven sycophants who have had their egos bruised by someone asking the question "what have all you people been doing?", you have someone that's willing to charge that hill. Nothing makes you look worse than aiding the enemies of the US, tolerating and encouraging low Gross Domestic Product, continual poor economic performance and last but not least minority employment at an all-time low. Today's crop of politicians are like the news media: If they don't have someone stroke their own sense of self-importance, they go berserk. Finally I see someone calling the Congress to task about why our military has inoperable equipment, why are we sustaining the longest wars(police actions) in history, a Veterans Administration that pays bonuses to ignore the reason the VA was created, and why are we following asinine rules of engagement that benefit the enemy and get our youngest and brightest killed? I wasn't a Trump fan prior to the election but I am sure :"rooting" for him now......
Be honest. Are you suggesting that President Trump is mentally ill? Is this just another manifestation of the Left's continuing petulant temper tantrum over losing to such a remarkably unpolitical candidate? Or is it just another morbid attempt to ignore the criminality of his opponent in the election? Why can't we all just take a deep breath, a shot of demon rum, and learn to laugh at the District of Calamity again?

Mentally ill or not, do you really see nothing disturbing in his behavior? Is this how presidents conduct themselves?

Other presidents have certainly been presidential but I can't say I ever saw as big a turnaround in the US economy or someone standing up for America (other than Reagan) without caring what other countries think as we have with Trump. I think that I prefer the bull in the china shop to the egalitarian politician who talks a lot but doesn't say much....

Can a person honestly not see mental Illness when they are looking at it. Fourteen Psychiatrist from Yale University and around the nation can't be wrong. Talking about who's button is bigger, tweeting at 0300 hours in the morning rather then sleeping, the President is stressed to his limits, I personally don't want to see WW3. In his own Administration there's strife to keep him under control. A person don't have to be completely out of there mind to be mentally-ill, dementia, slurring of his words, saying the same thing over repeatedly. The ability to not comprehend what's right for America. One thing I'm glad of is that South Korea is now talking with North Korea to try and stabilize some issues.

In the case of President Trump, he went into office mentally unfit. On inauguration day, he demonstrated his unfitness by having Spicer say that his inauguration crowd was the largest ever, period. That was just the beginning of Trump’s lunatic lies and exaggerations, many just gratuitous.

Sandy, really? So newspapers should dictate the competency of the President? Should we ask the news industry if the feds should raise the interest rate? Even Trump haters have to admit that the media is anti-trump.... If you can't admit that then there is no hope for a united country in any direction. I've always respected your thoughts and comments on rallypoint, please don't let me down now....! The last few presidents have about ended this country for what it stands for, and it kept getting worse. Lets give this guy a chance.
