"Survives"? The world has become even more dangerous. Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal resulted in 13 dead military and the loss of Bagram air base. The invasion of Ukraine because energy prices soared due to Biden Exec Orders funding the Putin war machine. China is strong arming Filipino fishermen and the entire region. Things are not safer. More war. More tensions.

[@mathsfornineyearolds]

There is bound to be a feeding frenzy where the world and his wife jumps in for a buck. What I did notice was an apparent lack of cognitive awareness in the way he speeks to people. He is an employer and he is used to people doing as he tells them. He appears to have failed to realise the difference in the environment he is in and he is not the boss anymore. I expect Napoleon had the same problem. The use of a 'psychiatric' diagnosis in a political way is common, and cheap. I have seen mr trump resort to it several times in his arguments with people. I never saw him as the sort of person anyone would want as a president in the first place, and I felt it would not be safe to allow him to have two terms.

[@rockquarry365]

The Republicans control the House and Senate. In order for impeachment to happen, the House must initiate an impeachment hearing, then it would move to the Senate for a vote. The alternative would be to remove him because he is unfit for office; this is justifiable through Amendment 25, section 4 - but again - only the majority party (Republicans, in this case) can initiate action. See: “Unfit for Office” trumpwatchweb.wordpress.com/2017/10/02/unfit-for-office/

[@LardGreystoke]

Republicans have been going bad long before Trump. He gave them their anti-abortion justice and anti-minority AG. They are low crawling bigots.

[@jaydee8724]

What an objective resource! Although I think you should look more into the amendment and it’s historical context. The one case that might apply is if the president was in a coma (e.g. Woodrow Wilson, but because the amendment was not yet in place, his wife Edith actually assumed his office in some capacity).

[@jaydee8724]

What makes them anti-minority? As for anti-abortion, before you can make an argument for whether or not it is a matter of the rights of the woman, you have to ask yourself if the fetus is an individual. Is it viability? If that’s the case, and they cannot support themselves outside of the womb, then I guess you can make the case for people who are in life support, and we should just let them die.

[@dawne5139]

How did Hitler get as far as he did? There were those who saw the problems but also the many who believed Hitler was their saviour. My husband has a cousin in the states, who despite being a nice person thinks Trump is going to fix all their problems. As a Canadian I am terrified at the thought of living next to a dictatorship. I also feel and fear for the many US citizens who see it coming and feel helpless to stop it. My heart goes out to you.

mary sunshine that’s a lot of claims that you’re goin to need some evidence for

[@nj7969]

mary sunshine That’s not how the burden of proof works. I’m aware of basic physiological facts of the human body. I however require proof of wrong doing in order to fight against it. Innocent until proven guilty has always been an important philosophy both in and outside of judicial proceedings.

[@nj7969]

mary sunshine All of my points were in response to your ad homonym. The use of which indicates that you are on the defensive. This is further suggested by your refusal to support your claims and rather attack my character. The points were as follows. A. I know I am not bullet proof. Common knowledge such as this is just that, common. It is also not an accusation like the ones you have made against our president. And is thus a pointless argument. The burden of this discovery does not exist because I already know it. The burden of proof regarding your claims of wrong doing remains solely on you. B. The burden of proof is on the accuser to prove wrong doing. Innocent until proven guilty. Otherwise I could accuse you of raping Jane Doe at some point last year without any evidence and you must now prove that you didn’t.

We are the laughing stock of the world and it’s very embarrassing. About a third of our country is incredibly racist and/or ignorant. It is baffling and very Twilight Zone.

If you, after finnishing your medical degree, enters into either field, and you know that a patient of yours is presenting a grave and present danger to themselves, but especially others, you have 'the duty to warn' the appropriate local, and perhaps as far as Federal, law enforcement agencies, especially if there is a need for involuntary psychiatric treatment. This is just an extension, abet in extraordinary circumstances, to that 'duty to warn' ...

[@neptasur]

True that Jay Dee. Look, I totally get all the reasons for disliking Trump; he's a loud-mouth buffoon, I get it. But there's no confirmation bias going on on the other side? We get in our little social media cocoons where we're shown more of all the things we already agree with and work ourselves into a frenzy about how it's "up to me to save the world" from Trump. Now, in the middle of an already boiling over cauldron of political hysteria, we need yet another book by some "experts" about how its even worse than we thought. Maybe the sky isn't falling. Maybe the sun will come up tomorrow.

He's just going to cozy up to Russia, deny they ever helped him win the election, though everyone, including OUR intelligence agencies say they did, AND our CONGRESS and the vast majority of our citizens. But NO. You can go on believing what you want in your happy little bubble...... let me burst it for ya..... Trump is off his rocker.

[@angienorton7411]

L98FIERO My comment was in reference to Trump's mental stability. It's not the tax plan or healthcare plans that will wake people up. The Republicans know how to spin their draconian plans in a way that supporters fall for each and every time. Although, you'd think that people would learn from history that the tax plan they want doesn't work. Even though I didn't say it in my initial comment; I was referring to some drastic military strike that will lead us into WWIII or some bombastic comment that will cause someone to attack us at home. I do not think I have too high of expectations. People change their views of leaders when they do things that impact them personally. If the GOP tax plan passes, supporters will not see the damage immediately. That will take time.

[@sheilawhite7044]

Angie Norton - the crazy part of his base is in the minority but they are the noisiest. Remember, people who are traditional republicans voted for DT also - they would vote for any republican running for president. Trump doesn't cater to the traditional group, he caters to the lowest of the low in our society - Charlottesville only reinforced what many of us already knew. This is disgusting and there's little that is republican about Trump anyway. Republicans like order, not chaos. If Trump and friends can deconstruct the federal government, he and his cronies can govern without any of the safeguards we regard as essential to our democracy. That man would abolish the Constitution if he thought he could get away with it.

Stacie Upschurch: Think of Trump as a cult leader. People who follow him are filled with morbid fears, hatred, anger, and mistrust. Trump and his media keep them in a bubble of ignorance and misinformation that allows them to believe they are safe with Trump as president and that Trump is doing a great job to better their lives and address their issues. Even if reality hits them over the head they may never change their minds because belief always trumps (sorry for the pun) critical thinking which they park at the door of the Trump bubble when they enter. Of course many, do not even possess critical thinking. Their belief system rules their lives.

Nobody has the power to compel someone to receive medical treatment except possibly a court order.

Personally if I were a senator or congressman for America right now I'd consider this book to be valid legal evidence because it's written by 27 prestigious psychological experts (many of them respected in their field). So unless you discredit psychology itself it makes a very compelling case that Trump is mentally unfit for the task of being president. And at that point all you need is proof of wrongdoing and the entire thing comes crumbling down.

[@HRTsAFyre]

Actually your both wrong. The term "natural born citizen has never been truly defined. The Supreme Court. has never directly ruled on the citizenship provision for presidential office holders. Because of this reluctance to do so, the last Presidential candidate who had a disputes arise from his place of birth was McCain, born in Panama Canal, while his father was stationed there. So being just and fair Democrats that they were, Obama and then-Sen. Hillary Clinton co-sponsored a Senate measure to settle McCain’s eligibility to run for President. The April 2008 resolution said, "John Sidney McCain, III, is a 'natural born Citizen' under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States." It passed unanimously. How awesome was that? The only other times this issue came up was with Barry Goldwater born in Arizona before it was a state and Mitt Romney, who was born in Mexico in 1963. But neither time were those citizenship's challenged by Democrats to derail their campaigns. Yet President Obama had to endure Trump's false birther claims for years, even with evidence. His father was born in Africa, but his mother a U.S. citizen, gave birth to him in the state of Hawaii! So technically the dispute about what the constitution means regarding Natural born citizen has to be ruled on by the Supreme Court, which they have yet to address. When and if they do, they will have to address the British rule on Natural Born Citizen and the 1790 Naturalization law passed by Congress. These were the same people who wrote the Constitution, so Natural born should include those born abroad. Not fake news. Just the facts.
