Why not?

Hopefully the people working there realize that their higher duty is to the country, and they need to be prepared to send up a flare if circumstances deteriorate much further.

Are you joking? Duty to the country. Your maexist has never had the good of america in mind. You people hate this country and what it's stood for. Now suddenly you want people to have duty to our country. If we truly had duty to our country, all you socialists would be locked up for treason against the constitution.... ha ha. Duty to our country. Thats rich coming from a lawyer.

Dementia will getcha regardless of age. Some sooner some later some never.

But keep perpetuating Trump is a loon, or has Alzheimers, or some form of dementia bs. See bold.

What you have in bold is true... but as I mentioned in the post you quoted - there does appear to be a hereditary link and Trump's father did have Alzheimer's.

I'm thinking less about an actual physical or medical cause to dementia, and more that he has a longstanding mental health condition that renders him borderline paranoid schizo or a whisker away from some form of psychosis.

No.

Based on watching his hair-trigger overreaction to the slightest criticism, matched only by his effusive praise of anyone who pays him a compliment.

I take it you don't abide by the Goldwater Rule for psychiatrists?

I think there is a very real danger that such arm chair psychoanalysis can lead to a crippling loss of faith in the government leadership.

At the same time, however, where there is legitimate concern about the stability of a president, that cannot just be shrugged off.

Its not like its one or two people expressing worry about Trump's mental health. And its not like it just came up.

So tough line to draw.

It's good to know Doctor Phil has some competition with you.

I'd be worried if it were people other than his detractors questioning is mental stability.

Problem with this is that people willfully elected him despite exhibiting these conditions. My mom is 84 and went through dementia and now full blown Alzheimer's... she doesn't recognize me. I've seen nothing from Trump that suggests he's turned for the worse.

If you folks can't get him on collusion, can't get him on sexual assault, can't get him on hacking DNC emails, can't get him on obstruction of justice, can't get him on money laundering, then you come up with mental incompetence. It looks to me like you're trying too hard.

He will eventually be gone in either 3 years or 7. I would urge you to deal with it, like we did with the last clown.

Well, we are confusing dementia and schizoaffective disorder. Dementia I have not really seen, either. A few blips here and there, but nothing really extraordinary.

Schizoaffective disorder is:

The symptoms of schizoaffective disorder can be severe and need to be monitored closely. Depending on the type of mood disorder diagnosed, depression or bipolar disorder, people will experience different symptoms:

  • Hallucinations, which are seeing or hearing things that aren’t there.
  • Delusions, which are false, fixed beliefs that are held regardless of contradictory evidence.
  • Disorganized thinking. A person may switch very quickly from one topic to another or provide answers that are completely unrelated.
  • Depressed mood. If a person has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder depressive type they will experience feelings of sadness, emptiness, feelings of worthlessness or other symptoms of depression.
  • Manic behavior. If a person has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder: bipolar type they will experience feelings of euphoria, racing thoughts, increased risky behavior and other symptoms of mania.

Now, the depression is not there, certainly. But some of the other factors are there and increasing.

Uh huh...

Seems to me the whole mental competence is only coming from one side of the political spectrum. And it started immediately after the election.

As Spock (not Doctor either) would say "most curious."

The reporting is that GOPers will privately say they are scared sh!tless of his mental instability. Truly worried about his ability to keep it together in a crisis, especially if he gets criticized.

You either believe that reporting or you don't.

Pretty much any of them that is in leadership and has sat down with him to go over a significant issue for more than a photo op, yes.

Hey look, time will tell. Maybe his bombastic style is literally just that -- a style. We shall see.

The GOP hasn't had leadership in over a decade. I would take those guys comments with a grain of salt.

Same "reporting" as the level of that fiction book?
