Trump Regularly Stumbling & Slurring at White House

--A new book by a Trump White House staffer, "A Warning," claims that Donald Trump is regularly stumbling, slurring, and confused at the White House reinvigorating concerns about Donald Trump's cognitive abilities and general health

Are these accounts a pretext for Trump to claim ignorance for any wrongdoing?

Well, well, well I can give you the actual name of not only a board-certified clinical psychiatrist but also a board-certified forensic psychiatrist who had written a book in 2011 called "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes Of Political Madness" also has graced us with an evaluation of those who suffer from TDS.

Rossiter here offers a new and eye-opening analysis of those Americans growing increasingly hysterical over the presidency of Donald J. Trump, a condition often labeled "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

One such syndrome has been especially prominent since the 2016 presidential election. Certain kinds of reactions to the victor of that event have earned the label Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS. A close look at it can be instructive.

Like past versions (Bush Derangement Syndrome, for example), the TDS is notable for its intense subjective distress. Persons suffering from a TDS experience high levels of agitation and fear about their own safety and about future prospects for a good life. The sufferer may also fear more broadly for the survival of whole nations and even for life on our planet. In fact, it is not unusual for a patient with a Trump Derangement Syndrome to predict apocalyptic events in the near future. These expected disasters are attributed to the predicted actions of Donald Trump in his role as president of the United States. In that role he is seen as an especially destructive individual bent on wreaking havoc on a highly vulnerable world.

In addition to fear and related symptoms, anger and rage are prominent in this syndrome. In the present case, Trump is hatefully portrayed as a diabolically villainous perpetrator of evil deeds. Calls for his death or torture or for harm to his family are not unusual and may even be displayed with pride.

What is most striking in these syndromes, however, is not the quality and degree of emotional upset. What is most striking is the extent to which individuals suffering from the syndrome distort their perceptions of real world events, especially events in economic, social and political realms. Most prominent among those distortions is the intensely negative bias in perceptions of America in general, and of Donald Trump in particular. According to TDS sufferers, neither Trump nor America can do anything good economically, socially or politically, and neither has redeeming features.

The mindset in this syndrome sees Trump as a hateful man bent on destroying lives. But there is no evidence to support this view. Trump is more than 70 years old and has no record of criminal behavior or history of destructiveness in other ways. He is certainly self-centered, egotistical and grandiose, and he is often boorish, insulting and contemptuous. He gets defensive easily and retaliates when offended in ways that are adolescent at best. He can be careless with facts and he lies too often. He has been unfaithful to his wife. There is ample evidence for all of these allegations on casual observation. But many of these traits have been prominent in other political figures. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, for instance, have engaged in far more serious wrongdoing, but have not evoked a fraction of the agitation that characterizes the TDS.

I'd say he's pretty much spot on when given my chance to characterize you on the same level the "A Warning" author and yourself have characterize the president, the real difference being there's no substantial medical truth to allegations versus an established medical opinion based on what suffers of TDS go through.

I only have to go as far as yesterday when you called the president vile, toxic and said rivers need to flow as the planets is suppose to work to try and smear the president as not knowing what he's talking about when the real truth was water was being diverted away from people's usage to save fish lives. That's part of distorting real world events talked about in the article.

What wasn't found yesterday in your appearance clearly can be seen here today.
