I'm Also Psychologically Disturbed

Trump rally - June 20, 2018

Trump touts ‘tough’ immigration policies, slams ‘elites’ at raucous rally

Trump didn’t dwell much on the rare policy flip, but rather bashed “Crooked Hillary,” denounced the “phony” Russia probe and relished in his 2016 presidential victory by talking about so-called elites.

“Why are they elite?” Trump said of his opponents. “I have a much better apartment than they do. I’m smarter than they are. I’m richer than they are. I became president and they didn’t.” I'm also psychologically disturbed.

Trump had a "moment" of decency and rationality when he rescinded his inhuman policy on child separation, but it barely lasted a couple hours. Then he flipped out again. This is a psychologically damaged individual who, given his power through his office right now, is a danger to many many people.

There are many people who comment on Trump every day. I would imagine that just about everyone who uses internet forums comments on Trump when they visit that forum. 

He doesn't belong in the presidency and the nation is in a crisis because of it. That certainly makes him worthy of extra attention.

There is no great influx now as compared to the past. These illegal crossings have been in decline for about 15 years. The total number of illegals in the US is not increasing, it is slowly declining. 

I agree that illegal immigration is an issue that has to be comprehensively addressed, but it is not a "crisis" today. Trump chose to make orphans out of thousands of children out of psychological distress related to his inability to get the wall built and his belief his base may be disappointed that the number of illegal crossings went up this year compared to last year.

What do you not understand about the fact that Trump created this "crisis" because he felt that his deplorables might be alarmed that he wasnt having the proper "success" dealing with immigration? 

He caused this crisis of the child separation by implimenting the process for no good reason , at this time. Other than him perceiving his popularity might be suffering, there was no difference now than there has been for many years.

I love it and a lesson of what one can accomplish despite mental and physical challenges. It reminds me of one of my favorite Jerry Garcia quotes. 

I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves. Jerry Garcia

First of all, you have no idea how successful Trump is, you  haven't seen any tax returns.  He also cheats others out of their due with his multiple bankruptcies.  He doesn't pay his contractors.  He uses race baiting and white supremacists to rile up his base.  He sucks up to authoritarian dictators and insults our allies AND FELLOW AMERICANS.  He started trade wars that have just begun to impact prices (about to get worse), with nothing to show so far of his 'great deal making'.   He implements a horrible policy (zero tolerance) that has devastating impact on children (and cost millions and millions and millions) and lies about who is to blame.  He says he can't do anything about it then he turns and makes a change.  Trump is a compulsive liar and narcissist, he literally lies about anything and everything, and makes everything about him.  One needs to merely listen to what he says and see the kind of person he is.   Asshole would be the nice description of his moral depravity.

Actually, I have no need nor desire to see his tax returns.   We WILL see something now that he's President, but as to what he did previously, it's immaterial.

Wow, quite a standard to require for the top office in the country.  That goes for everybody I guess, which means you have no basis to ever complain about anything that was done in the past (true or not). The emails are finally dead. praise the lord.

CORPORATIONS have declared bankruptcy.  Can you show me ONE TIME where Trump has declared personal bankruptcy?  Yeah, I didn't think so.

Always find it interesting that you love those corporate protections and privileges but want those same rights curtailed for average Americans (look up all the legislation passed by gop to do just that.  Why are you proud to protect and server the top and piss on Americans?

He plays authoritarian dictators and holds Americans in high esteem.   He insults those who deserve to be insulted.

He was played like a violin by Kim, and Putin is his fricken puppet master, so you are talking out of your ass here.  Our allies and Americans deserve insults and our enemies deserve out praise? 

He starts trade wars.   I really hate to tell you this, but those "trade wars" have been going on for decades and the other side has been eating our lunch, and the really sad part is WE HELPED THEM!!!

Won't even discuss the very complicated area of trade policies with people who don't know what they are talking about, Trump being the top moron, so if you repeat his crap that includes you.  Of course we need trade negotiations to improve our trade standing.  Trump didn't do that, he's blown them all up and so far gotten zip.  The tariffs are about to cost us all.

He didn't implement a policy, he was simply following the law.  There IS a court ruling dating to 1997 that minors and adults can't be held together.  Get the judge to modify the ruling she made.

That would be a straight up LIE.  You are repeating Trump's lie, so if you don't want to be called a liar don't repeat lies.  Trump implemented Zero Tolerance to remove children from parents as a deterrent and said it, can't be unsaid, so stop promoting that lie. 

I never heard you rail about Obama who proclaimed there was nothing he could do about it, then overnight with his mighty pen and phone created and implemented DACA. 

WTF does that have to do with anything?  You have no idea what I agree or disagree with Obama on and has nothing to do with this.

As to lies, that is the hallmark of a Democrat.   They've been lying since the Reagan amnesty deal they made and know they need to keep it going or lose that constituency.

You repeat the lies of the biggest public liar in the country, what the hell do you know about truth?  You are projecting (like Trump) what he does out to deflect attention from the compulsive liar in chief himself.

President Dementia at it again. Totally unbelievable that he ran as a "man of the people" and his supporters bought that crap hook line and sinker.

A man who lives in a New York golden tower with all his New York and Republican elite donors, but these rubes bought his shtick.

Now he is claiming he wants to be the "elite" since even at this rally he is telling them that he has a better apartment, that he is "smarter" and yada yada yada. His followers let that go completely over their heads too.

If Trump had been smart, he wouldn't have run at all, he has publicly said many times, he didn't actually think he would win and that life was much better before he ran. Please resign and go back, please.
