Most media businesses are driven by profit. Mr. Trump’s mentally ill behavior drove ratings and made these businesses a lot of money. The willfully ignorant were entranced. The media were delighted to drive ratings documenting Trump’s insanity. So let’s see how that works out. We already know that the republican proscriptions don’t work. (See, for example, Kansas). What we don’t know is exactly how right wing destructive forces will intersect with Trump’s mental illness. Won’t hurt me unless they provoke a meltdown (which is possible, but unlikely, in my view). I’m a white guy running a global business involving institutional capital (money). Populist movements or not, it’s not likely anyone is going to mess with the global institutional money business. So, for me personally, having a mentally disturbed president has much less impact on my family than it will on other families. But it is patently bad for the country. Pence, Ryan, and McConnell are just power hungry pols without a grip on reality. They are a bit like the dog that caught the bus. I’m interested to see the results of their policies, and hope I am wrong about them. Trump on the other hand is actually mentally ill. And that’s kind of disturbing. Again, NPP, if you don’t believe or understand sociopathy, narcissism and ADHD, please look up the medical definitions and be really honest with yourself.
Make no excuses, study the symptoms. Compare them to Trump’s observed behavior. See if you can avoid distracting yourself from truly considering the symptoms as compared to Trump’s actual behavior. Can you manage that? Or will there just be more blather about Clinton, who, at this point, is truly irrelevant even though she won 2.7 million more votes.

Is Rogers aware that the Warshington Boast is already walking that “story” back as quickly as it can?

Liar Trump loves the ignorant who believe his minion’s fake news. Trump plans to make people even more ignorant by taking away the education budget.

Actually an incorrect cartoon. The hat should be red, the sweat shirt should read “Trump”….

“NPP” might well consider the history of Argentina, Flynn taking on as NSA, and the disappeared. He may end up in real trouble.

An issue is that we use the term “believe in” when discussing global warming, as if it is a matter of faith or opinion.
