Is he mad?

I wonder if it has occurred to anyone surrounding him to "accidentally" disconnect the microphone? At the same time they could hide the device he uses for Twitter.

When he was first elected I was apprehensive but thought a lot of the bad publicity he received was the US media being mostly Democrat supporters, however, now I believe he is becoming dangerous and he scares me.

Here’s an idea. Why not trial it on Republican voters?

He is very ill or deranged but most certainly dangerous

Asking the doctors questions like that on TV is beyond stupid. He really has sat there with his tiny mind, come up with this idea as a cure and decided to ask these questions on film so that he can say he discovered the cure later.

Sadly his reasoning is delusional. We have child safety caps for a good reason.

Narcissistic personality disorder and whatever degenerative mental issue he has are a bad combination.

He has followers who will try this plan. There are already parents trying to cure their child's autism with bleach.

As a small child I put washing up liquid in a fish pond that I’d overheard needed “cleaning out”.
?
It’s four-year-old logic...

Actually Ellianne I think they are the musings of a small child. Sadly, they get media coverage.

He is outrageous.
I kind of see where he is coming from that if washing hands with soap kills the virus why can't we find an equivalent vaccine. But to say those things out loud is crazy.

They seem to be frightened to speak out.

It was not his wealth but his father's, he has been made bankrupt twice and so it was told in a documentary and has not earned any more money than what he has inherited.

I do think he is mad. He has delusions of grandeur and paranoia. Clinically he is mentally ill.

His thought process seems to be scrambled somehow. He seems to have no end of opinions based entirely on a staggering level of ignorance. A bit like a willful toddler when you don’t know what they will come out with next.

I shared a picture of him on Facebook, supposedly a few weeks in to isolation with bright orange badly dyed hair and similar fake tan. Apparently they LOVE their president or so I was told quite forcefully.

It amazes me how many of the Americans on my health forums still think he is wonderful. A few send me private messages and seem quite wary and nervous.

Well he uses a lot of bleach - his orange hair shows that, and he has strong exposure to UV rays judging by his orange skin, so maybe he's protected from CV19! ??

Seriously though, the man is a menace.

In this case I definitely think he should lead by example

It's only his wealth that has got him where he is because sure as Hell he's got nothing between his ears.

What an absolutely stupid suggestion! That's one sure fire way to ensure he doesn't get re-elected! What a plonker!

He's a megalomaniac and always trying to go one better than those who DO know. He wants to rule and over-rule everyone.

They were discussing this on Good Morning Britain ( thank heavens it wasn't Piers Morgan today !!!)
Dr Hilary's response was an absolute classic , when asked if he thought that this or the use of UV light internally was a good idea - his answer was that he knew that it was believed by some that the sun shone out of parts of Mr Trumps body, but that neither would work !
I sometimes wonder just how those that are in the same room manage to keep a straight face - I know I wouldn't!

Is he to be pitied or what ? Because he isn't well. Isn't this what people do when someone comes out with such a remark ?

All say ahhhh ! Poor man. So please remove the heading then !

What's the difference in saying the man's mad and he's not right in the head ? They're BOTH forms of todays version of MH aren't they ?? Both un-PC aren't they, or is it because it's me ?
Even unhinged is wrong in this MAD world of PC !

I think he has a very low IQ. I can’t explain it any other way.

There is already a thread running about this, if anyone is interested.

Boris needs to distance himself from Trump though it does seem that ineptitude is prevalent on both sides of the pond. Boris is not as mad but Brexit is more important to him and his cronies than COVID-19. He should not forget that one of the two nurses who cared him in his hours of need came from the EU.

Lockdown has prevented those of us who feel that Brexit should be stopped from being heard. Why didn't they join the EU procurement initiative, they must have received the emails telling them they could take part; to do so would have questioned the wisdom of Brexit.

Well, someone has to be a guinea pig.
Who better? Who is more high profile?
We could all watch as it takes effect.

And, I'm sorry, I don't think he is mentally ill. Or, if he is, he's probably been like it all his life. He's just got a mixed up way of thinking and the money to pay for 'enforcers' to help him be successful in business. it would be interesting to see some clips from when he was a TV presenter. I wonder if he was any more coherent then?

I think he strikes a chord with people because their thinking processes are as muddled and incoherent as his.

Such ignorance and stupidity! I read this this morning and I was totally ?! He's telling people to, essentially, poison themselves!! Let him be the first to try it. He also told people to irradiate themselves with UV light!!
Unf-ing-believable ?? !!
