Tracker Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Trump’s unraveling: Mental health experts explain why the next 4 months could be really dangerous Donald Trump on Friday commuted the sentence of his crony, Roger Stone. As Mitt Romney tweeted, “Unprecedented historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.” So the president of the United States takes action to help his buddy, a convicted felon, but he cannot take decisive steps to combat the coronavirus pandemic and save lives. This is an act of corruption of the highest order. And this is an example of Trump’s mental disorder and a stark preview of his unraveling over the next four months leading up to the November election. Heading to the November election, Trump’s mental disorder will continue to unravel in the face of mounting pressures and stress. Now, Trump has found a new foil and is attacking Anthony Fauci, a highly respected public health expert. Dr. Fauci has served in five presidential administrations. He relies on data and science. Trump trying to discredit Dr. Fauci is a desperate attempt to blame him for Trump’s own catastrophic handling of the deadly pandemic. And it is another reflection of the gravity of his mental disorder. Unstable and Unraveling What we are seeing in plain view is a narcissistic and antisocial president who is unstable and unraveling daily. He is faced with falling poll numbers, a ferocious and ignored pandemic, an economic recession that he caused, a damaging tell-all book by his niece and defeats by the Supreme Court. Trump’s responses: rants, tweets, lies, whining, conspiracy theories, threats, scapegoating, corruption, feeling victimized, stubbornness. The list goes on and on. Since taking office, Trump’s mental disorder has been in full display. Story after story has been written about his grandiose view of himself; his 19,000 lies to the American people, his bullying, his vindictiveness, his unprecedented breaking of norms, his reckless behavior, his total lack of empathy, his use of projection, his refusal to accept responsibility for his actions and his corruption. All combined, these symptoms and characteristics and behaviors constitute a mental disorder that is serious and debilitating. And the only way to change a personality disorder is with ongoing treatment, especially psychotherapy. Cognitive Issues, Too Added to his personality pathology is the strong likelihood of Trump’s cognitive decline. His vocabulary range has narrowed. His abstract thinking is limited. His reasoning is shallow. He is unfocused. He has difficulty processing complex information. His decision-making is impaired. His judgment is poor. He often appears listless and apathetic. He repeats simple words and phrases over and over. He cannot shift and adapt. His gait can be abnormal. He had trouble drinking a glass of water with one hand. Trump’s cognitive decline could be reflective of dementia; such cognitive problems gradually get worse, not better. Heading to the November election, Trump’s mental disorder will continue to unravel in the face of mounting pressures and stress. He will become increasingly erratic, unstable and desperate. His display of power and corruption may not be hidden any longer. He will take great measures to suppress voter turnout. He will incite racism and a culture war. He will blame and scapegoat others. He will engage in escalating rants, tweets, name-calling, accusations, overt threats, projections, bullying, lies, gaslighting, triangulation, obstruction and whining. His thinking, reasoning, decision-making and judgment will continue to wane. The next four months will be unnerving and unsettling for sure. Trump is unraveling before our eyes. Alan D.

Tracker Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Trump ‘Getting Involved’ in Case Against Viral Gun-Toting St. Louis Couple, Says Governor President Trump will be “getting involved” in the case against a white St. Louis couple who went viral after a photograph showed them pointing guns at a group of Black Lives Matter demonstrators passing outside their mansion last month, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said late Tuesday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey are under review for criminal charges and St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden confirmed Tuesday that he’s applied for unspecified warrants related to the case. Meanwhile, CNN reports St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has said Trump and Parson “came after her” for investigating the case and are “spreading misinformation and distorting the truth.” Parson, a Republican, said he’s spoken with Trump about the case and the president “doesn’t like what he sees and the way these people are being treated.” Parson said Attorney General Bill Barr “was represented on the call,” and that he thinks the president and Barr “are going to take a look” at the McCloskey case. In an interview clip posted by Townhall on Tuesday, Trump defended the McCloskeys, saying: “I understand somebody local, they want to prosecute these people. It’s a disgrace.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-getting-involved-in-case-against-viral-gun-toting-st-louis-couple-says-governor?ref=home (Trump may be demented but he is consistent) Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Trump-endorsed GOP congressman charged with three counts of felony voter fraud minutes before debate Steve Watkins, an honorary co-chair of Trump's re-election campaign, allegedly used a UPS store address to vote. Rep. Steve Watkins, R-Kansas, was charged with three counts of felony voter fraud and a misdemeanor after an investigation into his vote in a 2019 local election. Watkins, a first-term congressman, was charged with voting without being qualified, interference with law enforcement by providing false information and unlawful advance voting. Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay, a fellow Republican, announced the charges Tuesday about 30 minutes before a televised debate between Watkins and his primary challengers. The congressman was also charged with a misdemeanor charge for failing to notify the DMV that he had changed his address. Watkins, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump and is an honorary co-chair of the Trump re-election campaign, denied the allegations. Watkins, who won his 2018 race by just 0.8 percentage points in a district Trump carried by 19 points, faced the scrutiny of the Federal Election Commission scrutiny in an investigation into whether his father, Steve Watkins Sr., illegally funneled money into his campaign through his daughters, a contractor and the contractor's wife. https://www.salon.com/2020/07/15/trump-endorsed-gop-congressman-charged-with-three-counts-of-felony-voter-fraud-minutes-before-debate/ Fred C Dobbs, Mr Dee and FrostyWinnipeg 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal optimist Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Just to cheer everyone up, lets remember that time in 1912 Teddy Roosevelt was shot and did the following: - Survived - Convinced the mob of supporters not to harm the assassin. - Gave his speech anyways (which was 84 minutes btw) - Mocked the assassination attempt as part of his openinghttps://www.businessinsider.com/teddy-roosevelt-assassination-attempt-2017-6 Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful in his bid, but still, pretty cool story.
