What should be done if the President is mentally ill?

At the present time we dont have an unstable President. We do have a President who is outsider to the the "DC good ol boy networkboys club". I'm grateful that our president is in there shaking some things up. There are a lot of things in the DC world that need to be changed. There are a lot of people who have been in those offices for way too long and hand weild far too much power. Shaking things up is a good thing in this case! I also agree with the fact that vice president Mike Pence is an honorable man and would make a good president once mr. Trump has exhausted his tour in office. He may automatically say he's just a Republican or a conservative, I am an independent voter, I am an American first , and I will always vote for the individual that I think is the best candidate regardless of political party. I support our current President and pray every night that he makes good decisions that will be for the betterment of America!

It won't be easy to crack the right-wing echochamber on this. They'll sooner take unqualified laymen over tenured professionals. They do not value experience, they are anti-intellectual, and much of their ideology is antithetical to science.

They'll sooner accept wild and half-baked conspiracy theories as opposed to accepting that he is hilariously unpopular and generally not very well respected in the world. They think that censuring scientists and passing off entire industries to economic rivals will somehow revive coal instead of retraining workers (again, education is bad). They also believe that the vile rhetoric spewed over the past 8 years is candid and acceptable, while anything shy of worshiping 45 is treason.

You can't really reason with that. Last couple of local elections have shown that the joke isn't funny anymore and people are waking up to the threat that this admin presents. Mattis has shown that he isn't afraid to pull rank on Trump when it comes to our military, so the damage will at least remain mostly local.

What do you mean "if"

Sorry LT but the NY Times' opinion isn't worth the cost of the paper. They have people doing psych evals that have never met the man and that alone makes their evals invalid in the eyes of the medical community. I see praise below for Pres. Trump and I agree with them. He has fixed much of the mess left by BHO, reduced regulation, created millions of jobs, and actually reduced the national debt by almost 1/2 trillion in less than a year. If that is a mental disorder we need to find more people with that same disorder and put them in congress and in the state governorships.

The Constitution allows for impeachment for "treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors." Mental illness is not included.

When all else fails, the resistance resorts to name-calling and they've now made an unfortunate medical condition pejorative.

I'm convinced that 45 goes to bed every night wondering, "What can I do, say or tweet tomorrow to create more lib lip-flapping?" Even though so predictable, it's become free entertainment.

It is amazing to me that a bunch of "Professionals" will violate their own guidelines to lambaste POTUS in public. President Trump uses TWITTER, which I hate, because he, like me, and many of us, has a temper and fires off uncensored thoughts at the supr of the moment. That does not make him mentally ill or unbalanced, it does make him a novice politician, which is WHY he was elected in the first place. If he is really unbalanced or insane, then there are provisions in the Constitution to relieve him.

That's why we have the 25th Amendment!

That is pretty fucking assanine to bring up your being a douchebag liberal and nobody wants entertain this garbage so grow the f*#k up

Just admit your a raging liberal and your p o'ed your hero lost the election

If you think Trump is mentally ill, you have gone full retard...you should never go full retard!

Your problem is you are gullible enough to believe the lying media and make no mistake, they have proven they lie about all aspects of Presidents Trump's administration. Another thing you are apparently ignorant of, the Federal Government is full of liberal, colostomy bag sucking demo-rats who, I'm sure, hate the idea of having to report the truth about the economy.

By the by, the child molesters at the NY Slime headline the fact that Trumps economy missed its employment mark but used the lie of omission that seems to work well on snowflakes and pajama boys by not bothering to mention that the unemployment rate, which changed little over the course of 2016 (source WSJ, US Labor Dept), has barreled down from 4.8% at the start of this year
