Trump's Increasing Mental Instability



This past weekend malignant narcissist and Kremlin asset Donald "Rump" Trump issued a blizzard of tweets, ranging from attacks on the late Sen. John McCain to defending Islamophobe Jeanine Pirro, to calling for an "investigation" by the FCC of "Saturday Night Live." Granted he allows himself abundant "executive time" to indulge in his grievances, but even for Rump it was a tweet-heavy weekend. Some are noting the signs of anger, paranoia and general mental disorder in his tweet show, including conservative attorney George Conway, husband of the White (Supremacist) House's alternate facts generator Kellyanne, who posted on Twitter:



Already this morning, he's manically tweeted about everything from Joe Biden, to General Motors, to his approval in the Rethuglican Party. Not even a half-hearted expression of support for the Muslim community either here or globally after the New Zealand massacre.

Numerous articles have been written about Rump's psychopathologies, including a clear "duty to warn" message from 37 psychiatrists and mental health professionals in the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump."  A petition by psychiatrist Dr. John Gartner gathered over 70,000 signatures from mental health professionals insisting that Rump be removed from office under the 25th Amendment due to his mental illness. Yet, the media for the most part has declined to explore this serious concern with any urgency.

Erratic behavior, reckless impulsiveness, constant self-agrandizement, pathological lying, and much more point to someone who needs to be under the care of a mental health professional, not sitting in the Oval Office. It shouldn't take George Conway to tell us.
