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.

As far as I can any mental illness charges should be directed at the Democratic Party as a whole and the liberal media which has gone hysterical since their chosen candidate lost the election.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is curable. All it takes is to find someone else to direct your hate towards. When is the last time you heard a Democrat comment on how dumb or incompetent GWB is? No mental health assistance required.
Fire the Executive, Represented and Judicial branches of government---proceed under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 and start with a clean slate.
The left will try anything they can to take President Trump down or discredit him. The thing is he is frustrated with the way things have been going and open and honest about it. The lefts pity party that lasted 8 years and cost us over $10 trillion dollars is over and they have to face the real world. They don't want to. Nancy Pelosi should go and fellow Republicans need to stand up and support President Trump. Neither side is perfect but the USA must come first. Be safe out there to those in uniform. God bless.

I doubt that it cost us 10 trillion. How much of that debt existed prior to President Obama being elected. Every president elected since I have been able to vote has inherited a large debt and out of control spending. What we need is honest brokers. Where is the lottery money going - it was suppose to supplement education; where is the social security taxes going - it is suppose to be deposited into a trust, the list goes on.
No it isn't time to overthrow the legally elected government. The Constitution clearly stipulates how a transition is accomplished. Wishing it does not qualify as legal grounds. There are enough staff and a vice president to determine if medical conditions exist. The "resistance" has no ground for impeachment, medically. Sanders, Waters', Pelosi would qualify far more quickly for medical grounds than would President Trunp
i've seen no proof that President Trump is mentally unfit, I have seen a negotiator at work. IN regards to Pelosi and others of the left, The mental derangement is very apparent. There are laws in place for replacing or removing mentally impaired people, the question you should be asking is what do you do when political opponents attempt to use these "rules" to remove a political opponent they disagree with. To me, this amounts to attempted usurpation of power and treason.
As far as mental illness, I believe that we definitely have some members of Congress that may fall into that category. Nancy and Chuck along with a number of their party should have their mental health in question. As far as this President goes, he has shown that he can be more Presidential than the last 4 presidents. Unlike Clinton and Obama, Trump has shown that he truly has this country's best issues at heart. Other countries are respecting us in stead of laughing at us. Believe me, those that are serving our country overseas know that is true. As a member of the military, we should be proud that we now have a President that has our backs. Not one that hangs us out to dry. As when one suggest that our President has health issues, they should know what they are talking about before making such a statement.
Well I'll be short here, the folks that are mentally ill are the ones trying to destroy our country with fabricated stories and lies, we need to make arrests for treason to anyone that spreads or propagates anything false against the leader of the United States of America for the purpose of political gain. We have seen the socialist, liberals and the slave owning party all attack our president like no other and only because of being sore losers. I for one cannot believe that this has been allowed to go on for so long. Sanctuary cities? what? when a federal law is not obeyed by the leadership of a city, county or state that leadership is in direct violation of the laws of the land, why haven;'t we sent in the Guard to remove them? illegal activity, how much can you get away with? they are breaking the law, there is no argument to it.
As a retired Veteran, I can honestly say, there have been elected officials including the POTUS that made me think this country was no longer worth defending, the people in the streets make it even more so, perhaps its time for this country to have to rebuild. But to ask a question like this which he is obviously not mentally ill, make me question your motives and your mental stability.

I think using the media's idea of sane, or competent, is sort of like allowing the fox to guard the chicken coop. Ninety percent of the media is owned by 6 companies, so any news from them is going to be skewed from a perspect of those at the top of the company. The fact that we do not get news from our news media, we instead get their opinions, and conjecture, no real facts, much less real news. Media no longer does journalism, they're more worried about getting a story out, rather than it being accurate. And if there is no story, then make one up, as Rolling Stone did at UVA.

SGT Mark Sullivan Sgt Kevin Curl I thought the media conglomerates where conservative, rich, and would on Pres Trump's side.

MSG Laura Washington - Top executives, and board of directors may be getting top dollar, but think about how they get their money. Market Shares, those Market Shares are generated revenue by creating advertisements, which plays into viewership for TV Media, and Readership for Print media. When you sell ads, you're selling space and time, which in turn reaches a TV audience, or anyone who purchases advertisement space in a Newspaper, or Magazine. So, how to do this? Easy, play to the lowest common denominator, at this point in American Society people have a comprehension level of a 9th grader. The more drama they can play into, the greater viewership. If they can be the first one to report a story, with as much drama as possible, accuracy of the story isn't as important as being the first to getting the story out. This boosts viewership, which means sales for advertising time increases, and the costs goes up. Businesses pay for advertising space, and time. And to increase sales further, media, will play to whatever they think their audience wants to hear. In other words, a News story on MSNBC, or CNN, or any other TV Media, plays to whomever they think will be willing to tune in, and consume that time, and each ad that's played in a commercial. So, if they can play to the fears of someone with the comprehension level of your average 9th grader, they make more money. Those people, those smiling faces on TV you think are journalists, aren't. They are paid actors, talking heads, media personalities, their job is to act their way through a story, that was written by a journalist behind the scenes, edited, and then given to that smiling face on TV. What's really interesting, is that we were a better informed populace in the 80's, as there were 50 companies that controlled 90% of your media feed. This was before the days of CNN, and the 24 hour news feed. Currently, 90% of your news feed is controlled by 6 corporations. And they all vie for the same thing, to gain money at your expense. The following link is a real eye opener, and this was created in 2012, every time you hear of a media company merging with another, remember this article. In the article, you'll notice CBS, the same CBS that just fired a media lawyer for her comments about the Vegas shootings, look at the media outlets CBS owns.........http://www.businessinsider.com/these-6-corporations-control-90-of-the-media-in-america-2012-6
These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America
Radio, television, newspapers and online.

SGT Mark Sullivan Thank you for the information. I did know that there was only a handful of conglomerates that control the media (print, radio, and television). I understand targeting viewership, which is why we have reality TV, cooking shows, and infomercials. I used to like the learning channel and national geographic, today I can barely tolerate them Don't really like labels - but the right/conservatives are just as guilty as the left/liberals with playing on the fears and targeting the population with the comprehension and average intellect of a 9th grader. The US is raising a generation that will not know how to spell (we have devices that will spell for us and spell correct), most likely won't be able to read or write unless it is in emoji or text language. What do we do as a society? I don't know. But I did start with my own Family - made my children read. Made my children read to their children. To help with my Grandchildren, go them subscriptions to "lil passports". If you have Grandchildren, check it out. Starting to ramble and get off the subject. So I will end with - I miss the days when we had a more caring and responsible society that was not driven by greed.

I completely agree, the media plays to us, and feeds us crap we don;t need. I used to watch The History Channel, A&E, The Learning Channel, etc... Now they've strayed from their original intent, and play to an ever growing audience of people who want things done for them, rather than do it themselves, figure it out. Sadly, the education system is failing as well, problem is, it's not entirely the teachers faults, I know too many that are are not allowed to teach, or have to teach a certain curriculum, or are not allowed to fail a child that isn't trying. Too many times I've heard those lamentations that a parent runs to the Vice Principal, or Principal, because their precious angel is failing and the teacher won't pass them. Or, we have teachers that would rather teach their own political agendas. Yes, kids growing up not knowing how to read, write, or think critically is frightening, but, imagine a teacher promoting Che, or Castro, or even Marxist doctrine, to those kids, that's even scarier as they don't have the facilities to think for themselves because education let them down. Both sides are to blame for the fear mongering throughout the country. The name calling, the divisiveness, etc... Personally, it just makes me sick. Was never a fan of Trump, and definitely not a fan of Hillary, I voted for neither, and went with a third party, and I don't mean the Green Party. I believe in what John Adams stated about Political Parties, "Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society"
I say anyone that says President Trump is mentally ill they are fools. He knows what he is doing and I support my president 100%.
