Could Trump be setting up an insanity defense as a way out of the Russian mess

[revmclaren]

and the presidency?

A few more pressers like this and he may just pull it off.

What are your opinions? :

Fake insanity?
Real insanity?
A bit from column A and a bit from column B?

[gopiscrap]

1. wow I never thought of that

[Siwsan]

2. I think he is certifiably insane

I don't know if it is a "personality disorder" or the onset of some form of dementia. I do know that he is utterly unfit for office.

[uppityperson]

3. No. He's not that smart to do that.

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. If he's insane

then none of his Executive Orders are valid!!!!

[get the red out]

5. He is very mentally ill

And not smart enough to plan something like that anyway.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. If so, he's going about it the right way.

[TrekLuver]

7. LOCK HIM UP....and I don't care where.

[NCjack]

8. and I don't care if the reason is that he is mentally ill or just a jerk. nt

[Wounded Bear]

9. Not until he comes to a presser dressed like....

[revmclaren]

10. I fully expect him to pull a Klinger

if it would help him. Nothing would shock me now.

If an alien were to burst from his chest and devour Spicer on live TV, I would think 'Yup... That explains it'.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. No because he is very brand-o-centric

and doing that would tarnish his "brand".

If he had to go out, he would find some other excuse - maybe a fake one about "spending more time with his family (and businesses)" or some other nonsense.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Nope

He is what you see. I (yikes) had MSNBC on about an hour ago and saw Roland Martin of TV One on and he basically said that he will never change - he is what he is. And he noted the media keep expecting things to go back to normal but they will not.

[Ilsa]

13. He gets manic on these occasions, I think.

45 is energized by press and public events where he can be the center of attention. He may not sleep until Saturday morning.

14. Doubt he's smart enough but what a wonderful thing to say to repugs.
