Is Trump showing worrying signs of mental disorder?

Gosh sorry rigby , lesson learned, I won't do that again.

I just think that if people are going to post information that is easily verifiable, then they might well, you know, verify it before posting?

Wasn't he Rigby? I'm so sorry, I thought he was. My apologies. I'll shuffle off and bother you no further.

Nixon wasn't impeached <sigh>

No there isn't, Chewbacca. Apparently Article 25(?) was invoked when Bush senior had a serious operation, but it has never been used to get rid of POTUS permanently.

Pence's politics are odious IMHO, but at least he's not a loose cannon.

Apart from when Nixon was impeached and removed from office, is there any precedent for a president to be removed because he's mentally unstable?

Who's going to keep him in check? Congress and Senate both have Republican majorities. It's going to take brave people in Congress, Senate, the judiciary, etc to stand up to him and face being sacked.

It's going to need a huge populist movement. The second American Civil War anyone?

Not a real majority...sounds familiar

Just the point I was about to make, daphnedill

This might shed more light on it fior nannyanny to anybody who still thinks Trump won the popular vote. (D. Trump Esq. for instance )

lets hope Trump is ok cos Pence is a total MADMAN!!!!!!

Trump wasn't voted into office by a majority, Nannyanny. He was voted into office by a minority after a dirty campaign.

Thank you Rosesarered!

Sarah, the twin towers horror was two years before the Iraq war

I can safely say MawBroon that I have not missed the point, for better or worse Trump is president voted for by an American majority. This outcry is premature, he can't just carry on willy hilly, all laws are approved by congress and the senate, I'm not saying he's just a figurehead but he will be kept in check all being well.

Nannyanny your point would be perfectly fine if it didn't affect us all.
To dismiss the worldwide outcry at what Trump is "promising " or threatening or has already made a hamfisted attempt at enacting, is to miss the point.
Hardly a Trump bashing bandwaggon.

Do you suspect me of not thinking, then sarahellenetc ?
When did George Bush Snr jump ship/cross the house then?
He was a Republican POTUS, hardly Mr Democrat !! . And Blair cosying up to either Bush was as nauseating a spectacle as May and Trump.
Your point is....?

In September of 1954, the United States, France, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan formed the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, or SEATO. The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region.

we didn't get dragged into the Vietnam war, although Australia did to their regret.

I hope it never comes to that.

MAWBROON.
Ask yourself.
Who got the world into its present state in the first place ?
Why none other than Mr Democrat himself George Bush jnr and his lapdog Blair.
As you sow shall you reap.
Think about it.

All this hate and vile spewing out of some peoples mouths is very disturbing. Then again I don`t suppose Donald is losing any sleep over it. In fact he might well enjoy the fact that the whole world is talking about him. The man wasn`t sneaky about his policies and he is keeping to his word.Wait till the next terrorist act carried out in the UK you will all be screaming for someone like him to be our Prime Minister.

I won't jump on this Trump bashing bandwagon, I'm tired and bored of it. Everyones suddenly an expert on him. I'm open-minded to all democratically voted leaders and this country should look to their own backyard instead of wasting breath on whatever may or may not happen across the pond.

Indeed there are Elegran and if Trump were to attempt to challenge e.g.China, we would be dragged in as members of SEATO

Handmadedogsweaters says "Don`t worry my friends there won't be a war while Trump and Putin rule the world" but any war would not be between Mr T and Mr P or come from their sphere of influence. There are other areas of potential armed conflict - North Korea, which has nuclear capability and whose leaders already foster anti-American feeling, China if they get narked enough at how they are painted and feel like expanding their power, and ISIS of course.

Good post Holly I think you have it right!
