Donald Trump's mental health 'keeps getting worse', Washington insiders claim

It's just so obvious he's headed for a breakdown. He's temperamentally unsuited to the job and should have stayed in real estate. He's too old and not smart enough to learn all that goes into running the country. He doesn't have the mental discipline.

Ronald Reagan was to old and not smart enough, I am not saying he was a great president but he was able to run the Country, but the difference is that Reagan was able to chose good people and either take their advice or allow them autonomy. Rump is a control freak who believes he is much smarter than anyone else, he cannot take advice or criticism. Rump has a very serious ego problem that prevents him from being an effective leader, I have been saying that for a year and a half and its proven true over and over again.

I don't believe he is over the edge insane, or even approaching it. But he certainly has psychological issues.

Right after the election, I was hoping he'd surprise us by being an independent, non-partisan centrist who'd find a way to work with both parties to start getting things done.

But as we all see now, all he's interested in doing is pandering to whatever his rabid, lunatic fringe fan base wants.

I hope he's gone by year's end.

Actually, Trump is arguably the most successful politician of the last 50 years lol.

And the proof is in the pudding.

Depends on how you define success, if you define it as being able to pull out an electoral win against all odds, in the Republican party after having been a life long liberal... yes, you are correct.

If you define it as being an effective leader and statesman, no way.

Reagan was a Union man, so he knew how to get on with people, and he knew he wasn't very bright, so took advice. Trump has a vague sympathy for those he saw working when he was inheriting money and a huge over-estimate of his own capacities, so you have nothing to look forward to but increasing grandiosities and eventual gibbering failure.

I enjoy watching and noting who in my personal life fall for it.

When they will discuss their devotion to Rump, it is very revealing.

Pulling out of a disastrous climate treaty is the stuff of leadership.

He only does things that the President can do alone... he only takes actions that do not require other branches of the Government. That is not leadership, its singular action, it does not require anyone to follow.

Have we ever had a modern president who did not get any significant legislation passed in his first 5 months?

I wouldn't go that far. While I agreed w/ the move, it's not really leadership. It's just Trump being Trump.

I think his leadership qualities are actually extraordinarily bad. I can't believe how many times he has thrown his staff & surrogates under the bus so far - he sends guys like Spicer out to tell some tall tale, then completely contradicts them in a tweet or interview. People don't want to work for Trump.

He also doesn't inspire or appeal to the best of human nature. He tries to play on fear & pit groups against one another.

He's really one of the worst "leaders" we've had in awhile. This really ain't real estate.
 
The CEO's of APPLE, Morgan Stanley and other fortune 500 companies have sent a letter urging Rump not to pull out of the Paris Accord.

Exxon Mobil Corp. and many large American businesses urged Trump to stay in the deal, arguing it would maintain U.S. influence over future talks.

"By remaining a party to the Pars agreement, the United States will maintain a seat at the negotiating table to ensure a level playing field so that all energy sources and technologies are treated equitably in an open, transparent and competitive global market,"

Exxon CEO Darren Woods wrote in a May 9 letter to Trump.

You just proved my point, no leadership... he only does things that do not require leadership.

Are you suggesting that the Executive Branch has not always had a leadership role in the legislation that is passed in the Congress, especially when the president is of the same party?
 
Donald Trump’s derangement takes several forms. He is, first of all, a certifiable megalomaniac (see narcissistic personality disorder). People with this disorder are sometimes leaders because their ego drives them to destroy all obstacles in their path, but they are usually too selfish to share power with anyone. While Julius Caesar began his governance of Rome by heading a republican form of government, he soon became disillusioned with the Roman senators and he felt that he towered over them in every way. He became “dictator in perpetuity” and the Fall of Rome began. (By the way, he was also assassinated,) Donald Trump is just such a man. He does not have equals, only underlings.
He is not the right person to head a Democracy. He does not even believe in free speech unless it praises him. This should be frightening to all who love America and what we stand for. If he gets elected I will be scared to speak against him. Is he just a verbal bully or is he a true thug who will use power like a weapon? We don’t know, do we? I was only ever nervous about speaking out against two other Presidents – Nixon and G W Bush (because of his henchmen) - both Republicans.

Do you think the POTUS should pass more legislation? lol

You did not answer my question, I understand why!

I don't want Rump to lead Congress, because I believe he would be leading it in the wrong way.
If, however, he wants to be an effective leader, or get his promises passed, I think he must.

I pray we do not have a crisis, like the economic crisis we had in 2008 which required Obama's leadership to get important legislation passed, we would be in big trouble.

Listen, I am happy that Rump is feckless when it comes to repealing Obamacare and getting his tax plan passed.

I understand your reluctance.

As we know, the president does not personally pass legislation, it requires him to lead Congress, and he does not have the ability to do that.

Obama, W, Clinton, Bush I, and Reagan all led Congress's passing of legislation that they supported.
Rump is trying to get Congress to do what he wants, but has been largely unsuccessful.
