No shit?
This, to me, is the most significant and most bizarre fact about the current era - the President of the United States is rather obviously deeply and profoundly mentally ill.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he's an actual danger to himself and others.
But it's easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.
Also grandpa is armed and there's no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.
And don't forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn't much use since you aren't close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can't reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa's caregivers attention.
The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there's no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.
Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.
He’s such a great example of why inherited wealth is such a a bad idea. If he didn’t start so close to the finish line, he’d just be some random unemployable loser that nobody has to deal with.
Yep. There are millions of Archie Bunkers out there screaming at their televisions/radios and scribbling nonsense in online forums. Not all of them were born elitist dickheads like Donvict.
Who could ever have known?
Perfect execution lol
Timely meme
WE KNOW!
No way, get the fuck all the way out
He was a poorly adjusted child that never grew up.
Trump is also not a porcelain butter dish shaped like a dairy cow.
He’s half of that though
It's more than half. fragile and tacky and shaped like a dairy cow

Quiet piggy!
Yet, he is also a reflection of the USA itself. Democracy, however flawed, is fun that way
Duuuuuuh.
"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."
No shit; Fmr. and current Everyone.
We've all known this for years. He's a malignant narcissist. He is everything conservatives aspire to be.
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
This is my shocked face.
Um, why else would conservatives make him the most-beloved Republican?
It's because his attitude is the very embodiment of the typical Faux "News" demographic.
One of Ronnie Raygun's more famous quips was just peak projection:
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
That describes conservatives that consume hate radio and Faux 24/7 and it describes Taco to a T.
YA DON'T SAY
