I’ve never called Trump “crazy,” if for no other reason than it implies he’s as likely to do something against his immediate perceived self-interest as for it, which LOL.
And I really have a bone to pick with the professionals who have turned “You can’t make a formal diagnosis and prescribe treatment of someone you haven’t seen” into “No one, professional or not, can say there’s anything wrong with anyone.” If someone is limping, I don’t know whether they’ve sprained their MCL, torn their ACL or what, but I know they hurt their leg. Similarly, Trump’s brain is not right. I don’t know how specifically, but it’s not.
I can’t understand why the media is ignoring Trump’s mental decline while fixating on Biden’s, which as you point out is much more benign. I just can’t make myself accept the logical, but shockingly cynical, answer that it is so corrupt that editors, publishers and executive producers are willing to sacrifice the well-being of the nation because Trump’s antics as President will generate more interest from the media consuming public than Biden’s boring leadership does.
It’s about bullying, in both directions. Our wealthy media class are afraid of Republicans. They’ve been bullied by 60 years of being called “the liberal media” and aren’t bright enough to realize that there is nothing they can do that will stop them being called that.
On the other hand, they can bully Democrats, so they do.
This is the most charitable explanation I can come up with. The others are worse.
Thank you, Suzanne. Every bit helps to spread the word of the danger he poses—and coming from a professional I’m inclined to believe your words carry more weight.

Suzanne, you’re making a great choice! Really it’s good over evil!
