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.

Do you mean mentally ill and unstable like when they lie about their background, can't produce authentic documents certifying their eligibility, blame others for every scandal that occurred on their watch, refuse to hold those responsible accountable, fail to make good on their promises (which they never had intentions on keeping), and blame their predecessor and opposing party for everything they failed to accomplish??? Reagan inherited a mess and didn't blame Jimmy Carter. Just sayin'...

Is Narcissism a mental disorder? Add it to your extensive list.

Both Obama and Trump could be construed as narcissists... I can hold my nose and tolerate narcissism so long as the narcissist makes every effort to deliver on what they promised... and accepts responsibility and accountability for their actions. (Something Obama never could find it in himself to do...) That demonstrates a certain level of maturity that I seldom see in Democrat leaders. Liberals could not function without Conservatives to blame for all their shortcomings.

Trump was not my first pick but I give him credit for taking on the Establishment and calling them out for their hypocrisy and anti-American agenda. Trump has accomplished quite a bit (despite the best efforts of Democrats and traitors in his own party (aka RINOs) that want to see him fail.

He has done his best to keep his promises and put America's national best interest first. I will take my anger out on both parties next election cycle if they don't get their act together and start advancing the people's agenda. Voters spoke and it's time Congress started listening.

Question: What should we do with all the mentally ill Snowflakes that can't handle the stress of losing and refuse to accept the legitimate winner of the election as their President?

Normally the person in question gets medical help, or if they're unwilling, an intervention. Is there someone in particular you have in mind? If it's directed at POTUS Trump that's a broad assumption and not one I'd be making if I were in the employ of US Government. It likely falls under the category of "career limiting" or "career ending" decision. Good luck with that though, and I understand your concern. IMO anybody that would want to be a member of US Government either has a motive or maybe a screw loose, considering the current state of the Nation and compensation vs. private sector. Many have tried to diagnose Trump from a distance based on his actions, but he's an entertainer and who knows how legitimate this whole persona is. I have opinions on some of his traits and past practice, but he is our POTUS and it's not in the best interest of the Nation to voice them, because it won't have any impact and only add to the rhetoric and division.

CWO3 (Join to see) - I have briefed him up close and personal. He is, as you suggest, an entertainer . . . he is a sense in charge . . . though his own staff strictly controls what he is allowed to hear . . . and perhaps what he is allowed to do . . . with exception of his early morning tweet storms. He evinces many symptoms of delusional behavior . . . and in the words of Edward Teller . . . I would prefer our nuclear secrets and operational controls be in other hands. I have been fighting communists, their progeny, and arms smugglers in a number of government capacities since 1970 . . . have been recognIzed as an expert on intelligence collection, analysis, policy development, and operational response . . . and more specifically as icon of the cold war. There are enough people who would be overjoyed to bring an end to my life . . . much less my government career . . . and I am old enough and well enough endowed to retire comfortably . . . so, no, I am not at all concerned about some tin pot dictator and his bevy of disgusting swamp dwellers manipulating his every move in the white house. Worship the golden cow as much as you like . . . but he is a minor oligarch attempting to curry favor with much wealthier men . . . both at home and abroad . . . who would happily sell any one of us or all of us out . . . for a kind word from wealthier oligarchs at home or abroad . . . or mere increased opinion poll ratings. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT Sandy Annala - Believe me when I say that worship and Trump belong nowhere in the same sentence with me. I just choose to keep it private for personal reasons and in the interest of the overall discussion here on RP. That's a personal choice but I would never encourage anyone else to pattern their conduct on anything more than their own internal locus. Thanks for your service.

This question from a commissioned officer is disturbing. First off, this country doesn't have regimes, we have elected administrations in the form of an elected President and Vice President. Regimes are authoritian and normally describe dictatorships.
The process is very clear in the Constitution. You know, the one you swore an oath to defend and obliviously have not read. "In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President,". Period.
President Trump has done nothing to indicate he is mentally ill. Doctors trying to evaluate a patient without direct interaction are being unethical and unprofessional. Putting that evaluation in a publication is a good indication of an unspoken agenda.

Funny how we are concerned about a Constitutionally elected president that validates his mental state is good from those that definitely have issues. The VA does have psychological help for those eaten up by hate.

We should turn him over to the loving care of Oberleutnant Sandy Annala. Her strict but loving care will doubtless cure him of the evils of Dedication to the Constitution of the American Republic. I await your results with extreme anxiousness.... Your serve.

1LT Sandy Annala - Mike Pence isn't ready to be president. I am not entirely sure he is the right guy for the job. He is an excellent Vice President. The Vice Presidents job in this day and age is exactly what he is doing. Traveling around the globe carrying the message directly from the president. I had expected Joe Biden to do this. That was one reason I gave Obama a chance. Joe Biden turned out to be a complete socialist hack.... That freaked me out. Maybe they had some serious dirt on him? Who knows.
I will be very interested in 2024 to see if Jason Chaffetz runs for president.
He is level headed and has a calm demeanor. He also puts up with bullshit no longer than necessary for proprieties sake. He is not a man I would want to have to answer to in committee. Yet his endurance... and lack of a public execution..in listening to Loretta Lynch's obfuscation ad nauseum showed that he can handle the pressure of dealing with fools and liars.

PO3 John Wagner - I am far more curious about who may be in office . . . who runs in 2020 . . . and as the song says if we are still alive . . . how the presidential coat tails may affect the prospects of the many senators, congresscritters, and others down ballot . . . in the federal, state, and local elections. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT Sandy Annala - I think if I watched enough of those auf deutche that I might recall meine Hoch Schule Deutsch. When I heard him say "Schade" I had to smile.
I got taken to the principles office by the ear one day when Frau Rumple came in complaing that the Spanish Teacher had broken the record player... "Schade."

We needed a shot of national pride from a populist president in the worst..and best way.
I just watched a video someone posted yesterday. A Jewish personality talking about Trumps family.. I was aware of most of it however, to be brief. His family is more Jewish than not. He is so tied in with the Jews that I am shocked we haven't seen photos of him at his Grandchildrens Bar Mitzvahs wearing a Yarmulke. All his children are either Jewish or married to Jews. I believe his CFO is Jewish. This guy couldn't be anymore Jewish... I am sure his golfing buddies might supply you with additional evidence from the locker room however, that is of no consequence to this goy

CPT Wes Marsh
Quite frankly El-Tee, that is way beyond your pay grade. Your concern is more along the lines of how to respond to what could be or is clearly illegal orders stemming from the CiC down to your boss. The determination of the President being able to do the job is political not military and continuing this line may get you invited to the long course in Kansas.
SFC Jim Ruether
I think he should take a mentally pill for his ailment. Why didn't anyone challenge BHO mental status when it was quite clear he was without his mental faculties for a majority of both his terms?
CPT Wallace Dunn
This post is nothing more than a continuation of the whiny, screaming, crybaby protesters on the left. I find it repugnant. Would you like a safety pin to make you feel better? This is pretty pathetic in my humble opinion. Here's the best advice I can give you. Turn OFF your TV and READ International news sources outside of the United States. The blatant full tilt endorsement of the leftist socialist agenda by the media should be the topic of concern. There are numerous examples to show the hypocrisy and double standard of the media in U.S. politics.

I don't know about Trump being mentally ill, but he certainly runs his mouth too damn much. If Trump was a Marine he would have had his ass beat several times by now. As far as I am concerned, he doesn't have the character or mentality to run the Government, much less be Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces. He's too thin skinned, angers too quickly and runs his mouth way too often, and he is a God awful speaker. Do I think he has a few good ideas, sure. But I also think that 90% of his ideas are total garbage that have the potential to set this country back decades. The hallmark of a good leader is those he surrounds himself with and lets him advise him. If this is any indication, then Trump is going to be in serious trouble. Other than General Mathis, most of his appointees are wholly inadequate for the job and in some cases incompetent.

SPC Randy Torgerson - I choose not to discuss POTUS outside the context in which I did because it's not helpful, doesn't change anything, and sets a bad example. I have in the past but mostly try to refrain now. If others choose to that's on them and not for me to judge. History will judge him and that's more important than one person's personal opinions. I also like and respect all services. I have a family history of service in Army, Navy, and USMC and have served alongside all of them. They all play a vital role in our National Defense.

SCPO Don Groves - I have no problem when it's something totally off the wall such as what you refer to, but the daily dialogue of every word or deed just got old long ago. The media loves it for ratings but they are causing a lot of division that is not necessary and wouldn't be as active if they stuck to actual news vice the 24/7 critique of every move. After awhile it becomes counter-productive and we get in "the boy who cried wolf" mode. A lot of pundits and talking heads would actually have to work though, so that's where we are. If they are such "experts" then why aren't they actually working? Most of the ones that have actual experience are "has beens" or "never weres" or those that couldn't get re-elected, so that should tell us something about their credibility.

SCPO Don Groves - Private citizens and bloggers defamed Pres. O also but the internet has made this means more popular and prevalent. We certainly didn't see the mainstream media watching O's every move like they have with Pres. Trump. He created much of this with all of his comments against the media. Media tends to be liberal generally, but there are some that lean right intentionally. I think that their bias and his anti-media comments have caused the 24/7 critique of his words and deeds. The cycle seems to be in perpetual motion i.e. they have bias and post stories, he responds against them and they reply and so forth. They are both seeking ratings and this helps their cause, but it's not in the best interest of the public. It makes it harder for the average citizen to filter through the BS and noise to get the straight scoop.

Really, I served 7 years under Obama until retiring and he is delusional. What is the difference other than our personal viewpoints. It's all relative.
