Cool Daily Beast, anyone with a touch of metal health experience was sounding off about this, and the staggeringly transparent Narcissistic personality characteristics in 2016.

If only everyone gave a shit about electing someone with, at minimum, obvious dementia nearly a decade ago.

I mean yeah, trump is insane but what about his cabinet? What about the people that thought he would be a capable leader; TWICE?

[-] moshankey@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

They’re all just opportunistic users who are trying to ride this pathetic loser’s coattails. That’s just me. There are a LOT of diagnosable personality disorders going on around there.

What about the VOTERS who saw this trainwreck of a human being and voted for him

[-] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

"the people that thought he would be a capable leader; TWICE?" It is implied those are the voters,

Seems like I've been seeing articles like this for 10 years.

[-] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

Really. His brain was already a pile of debris when he entered politics. This is further erosion, not a collapse.

And he never had an especially staggering intellect to begin with.

True, but that's because he has been declining for more than 10 years, probably more like 20.
Just take a look at any performance he did 20 years or more ago, and it is very clear his vocabulary is way better, and his thinking is way better and quicker.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Back then, he was at grade 7 level. Now he's at grade 4.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

It seems pretty clear. He lashes out anything this term and rambles on about nothing.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 4 days ago

Stephen Miller and Russell Voght are certainly making use of it

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

And all Trump can talk about is building projects. I think because it's familiar and he feels safe when talking about it.

[-] ShamanRonin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

When will the physical collapse be obvious?

[-] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Why are we even called the "United States"?

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I've been calling it 'The United Mistakes of America' since the Reagan era.

[-] suddenlyme@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

We say Trumpistan or the Poo-nited States

[-] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

If you guys want him dead so bad just fucking shoot him. Stop with the weekly “experts” proclaiming his imminent demise and just make use of your precious second amendment and shoot him.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 days ago

If only there was some way to not let insane people make decisions for a country

[-] amorpheus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

This is America.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Wormtongue Miller sure had an easy time with whatever's left.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 7 points 4 days ago

Dude's probably never been sane.

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

We don't care about his health. Expunge him.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

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!
