King Donald's madness

W A SHINGTON, DC, In the last few days, President Donald Trump has acted in more bizarre form than ever, and the question that has been raised in the minds of politicians and citizens, although seldom expressed aloud, has been: What can be done with this man? Can the United States face expectation of what will come out of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation (with the assumption of proving the president's guilt or something)? But that would take too long.

The matter of time has become quite urgent recently connected with the danger that we can end up in a possible war with North Korea. This danger, accompanied by Trump's growing strange behavior, has made Washington more tense than ever, and even more tense than in the dark days of the Watergate scandal. Or say plainly: The sorrow is that a mad president can lead America to nuclear war.

In recent weeks alone, we have seen sufficient evidence of Trump's mental instability. During a ceremony at Zyren Ovale in honour of the nativo-American heroes of World War II, he insulted them with a racist comment. He fought an unprecedented and unnecessary clash with the prime minister of the United Kingdom, our closest ally, retweeting a post of a British neo-fascist group with anti-Islamic motives. In an effort to win the votes of a Democrat senator for tax cuts, he travelled to her state and told lies about her records. And he continued to provoke North Korean leader Kim Jong, who also seems mentally unstable.

At the same time, big newspapers Washington Post i n The New York Times has published articles containing disturbing stories about the president's private behavior.

Trump has also continued to defend his claim that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.

The fact that Trump seems to have mental disorders has created a major dilemma for psychiatrists, politicians and journalists. The American Psychiatric Association, there is a rule that says its members are not allowed to offer diagnosiss of people they have not examined. But, looking at the national emergency, some psychiatrists have broken it and spoken publicly about President Trump's mental state.

The most widely acceptable view is that he is suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder that is far more serious than being just narcissistic. According to the Mayo Clinic, such a “disorder is a state of mind in which people have an inflated sense of individual importance, a deep need for constant attention and admiration, bad reactions, and a lack of empathy for others.” For more, “behind this mask of extreme self-confidence lies a fragility that is vulnerable even to the slightest criticism”.

This definition is too detailed for Trump's regular behavior. Another view holding a large number of medical professionals, based on the way Trump spoke in interviews in the late 1990s and the way he speaks today with a very limited vocal and with less fluency. According to a highly respected medical reference, dement symptoms include agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, apathy, and debauchery.

Many republican members of the congress are deeply concerned about Trump's capacity to cope with the presidency a multi-searcher work no doubt. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who is said to be soon downloaded, is said to have called the Trump “hevan” (ang.moron).

Trump's disorderly conduct in recent days has been attributed to the anxiety he has captured because of Muller's investigation into his campaign's co-operation with Russia an investigation that could end with charges of conspiracy. (Trump appears to be the only important figure in Washington that does not admit Russia has intervened.) And this increasingly controversial behavior happened even before the news came out, on December 1st, that the company's great adviser and helper, General Michael Flynn, has agreed to plead guilty for lying to him. The FBI.

What makes it so important is that Flynn is the most important official to have returned to Muller. True, the genomic plea agreement indicates Flynn is willing to convey other most important figures in the Trump Camp or the White House.

It's been speculated that Flynn will also finger you from Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kouchner. But Trump's early efforts to keep prosecutors out of Trump give strong signals that Flynn knows something Trump desperately tries to hide. We can learn what, in very little time.

Meanwhile, Americans and the nervous world are waiting for Trump's reaction to these very bad events.
