https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/expert-answers/nervous-breakdown/faq-20057830"The term "nervous breakdown" is sometimes used by people to describe a stressful situation in which they're temporarily unable to function normally in day-to-day life. It's commonly understood to occur when life's demands become physically and emotionally overwhelming. The term was frequently used in the past to cover a variety of mental disorders, but it's no longer used by mental health professionals today."
"Nervous breakdown isn't a medical term, nor does it indicate a specific mental illness. But that doesn't mean it's a normal or a healthy response to stress. What some people call a nervous breakdown may indicate an underlying mental health problem that needs attention, such as depression or anxiety."
"Signs of a so-called nervous breakdown vary from person to person and depend on the underlying cause. Exactly what constitutes a nervous breakdown also varies from one culture to another. Generally, it's understood to mean that a person is no longer able to function normally."
He doesn't need any more "stimulation" or the chaos he said he craves and thrives on. He needs a giant Xanax and a padded room before he causes any more harm to the planet.

He knows Putin is planning on taking over as leader of the world and to do that our economy has to be decimated so not sure what happens next.
Remember, he is destroying the HUMAN RACE because a black man made fun of him, and for almost NO other reason.

Outrage after outrage makes people eventually turn away; look away.
So saith Timothy Snyder, Yale holocaust historian, warning us in this fraught moment.
