Excellent analysis, thank you. I've restacked (which I rarely do), this needs to be read as widely as possible.

The last speech I heard had trump mouthing inane comments, he looked panicked…this person is not fit to be running for the highest office. I have posted this question elsewhere…is there any way to remove him from running for the office of president? Why has no judge ordered him for a psych evaluation? I think he is a dangerous person. He had instigated a riot 4 years ago. Just imagine what he will do when he loses this election. I fear for the lives of others! Four of his MAGA cult died that day, with four officers later committing suicide. This person is a danger to others. He is a danger to the United States. He, at this point, with his disjointed speeches needs to be corralled. What can be done?

It goes back well before then. This piece was meant to explain how he got where he was and capture experience jn that period of time

Excellent analysis. Now add to it the slurring and mentally checking out for 20 - 30 seconds mid speech. DonOLD is even more dangerous.

Have you noticed that lots of Republicans are finally rejecting the Orange Ogre. They are rejecting him over Tariffs.

They did not reject him for Jan 6, his contempt for the rule of Law and his embrace of Putin and fascism everywhere. But they did reject him when he threatened the super rich with tariffs. This proves that the Republicans, at core, are only concerned with commerical self aggrandizement.

He is mentally deranged. His mental decline is progressively, downward since he was born. Thats how schizophrenia works.

I think it was obvious, at the outset, that he was as mad as a hatter.

He has no filter or censor. He says whatever malicious, hostile, or delusional thing that pops into his head. He is brimming and bursting with bellicosity, dreaming of seeing Liz Cheyney shot, applauding the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, telling us that demonstrators should be beaten up and hospitalized, etc. etc. etc

The more disturbing question is what made the American people sick enough or supid enough to vote for such vile, tyrannical trash masquerading as a human being. I ask you, psychologists and other students of human behavioral deviations and disturbances, to proffer your ideas as to what made Americans sick enough or stupid enough to vote for him.

I think part of the problem is the allegedly liberal media which, upon closer examination, is not really half as liberal as it purports to be
