Is Trump showing worrying signs of mental disorder?

What everyone seems to be missing is that he is doing what he said he would do
That is right
And I am not a Trump supporter either.

Well quite CJ. It shouldn't come as any surprise that D.T is behaving as he is!! Why on earth would anyone vote for him after his campaign beats me, but they did so can't be too surprised at what they've got!! As for protests about Turkey, I certainly didn't notice any protest marches or any particular outcry from any western liberal country!!! Likewise Russia's annexation of Crimea seemed to pass without a peep! Funny how people get so worked up about certain things, but other equally dreadful things happen completely flying in the face of democracy in other parts of the world which protesters seem completely unmoved about. All a bit selective?!!

Plus, things are mis-reported. There is, for instance, no "Muslim ban". That is a deliberately misleading expression.

Semantics.

It is frightening,and obviously his "people" are afraid to object to his maniac ideas, for fear of being given the boot, as seems to be the case.
The latest developments in the US definately show signs of mental instability, but how is he to be replaced? I am sure IS will have a good try! I hope Trump is never near "the button",or we will all be in trouble, including himself.

CardiffJaguar. But most of the people around him are cronies or close relatives. His speech and behaviour make George W begin to look like a statesman in comparison.

Diddy. Worryingly he now actually has the button in his control.

grumppa it is a worry that you assume anyone who doesnt agree with your view must be mentally ill

Grumppa I agree, what about the mental state of the voters who wanted him in, doesnt say much for them.

Donald Trump in some peoples view has mental health problems, is this the way to treat someone with mental health problems? Back to the dark ages.

According to the Mental Health Act, someone with narcissistic personality disorder is mentally ill. Clearest case I've ever seen..

Nigglynellie you are quite right. Trump is doing what he said he would before he was elected. They had fair warning. I am surprised at the outcry when other leaders have and are doing much worse things.
I am not a supporter of Trump or his policies .

I have never felt so generally terrified in my life and that is going back to the Cold War and the nuclear arms race, the days of CND marches and Greenham Common, the fear of a nuclear attack.

It's not just Trump, who is clearly mentally ill, it's the resurgence of the right wing in the US, UK and throughout Europe. It's a return to the tenor of the 1930s and I can't help but feel there's another war coming and I'm not sure any of us will survive that. I heard an American saying much the same on the radio yesterday.

And we are separating from our allies of 40 years and going to suck up to this character and his cronies! Unbelievable.

Unfortunately he would never submit to an psychiatric assessment which would be required for an official diagnosis of npd.
If he's so convinced that people from these 7 countries are so dangerous how on earth is he going to be able to travel to meetings in countries that allow entry to those fleeing from them?

Looking at tweets by Americans they frequently remark on the risk of a world war. I do think politics as a whole is becoming ,ore unstable

Azie09 I hope it's some comfort to you that many of us feel like that. If ever there was a time to stand up and be counted, it's now.

DIDDY1 Are you saying the people who voted for Hilary Clinton are all of a sane mind?

Strawman argument - of course they're not, but it's irrelevant.

Oh, I thought you'd have called it 'whataboutery' daphnedill!

Azie I feel exactly the same.

Don`t worry my friends there won`t be a war while Trump and Putin rule the world. So please stop the hate as it is no good for the mind and starts to show on the face.So calm down everybody and get back to what you were doing before Donald became President.

I think this piece of whataboutery is quite important. Hillary Clinton called half of Trump voters "deplorables". It's pathologically superior attitudes like that that made many vote Trump in the first place. People are sick of being looked down on by snooty elites.

I have no idea how many trump supporters are deplorable but I think deplorable is correct with the KKK

Semantics to some, anya, are important facts to others. Saying something is "just" semantics is rudely dismissive (I'm not taking it personally), just like the deplorables comment. People don't react positively to dismissiveness. Ergo... Trump is president.

I would call actions deplorable rather than people, but I know what you mean, ab.
