Fears about mental health

It's biblical in proportions! Proverbs, to be precise: "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit."
So, biblically, I was constrained to a childish reply to your post!"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein
"If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment. If you are seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010
Why do immature people always assume extremes? Why are they so incapable of nuanced thought?

Apparently I've inspired you to have an epiphany! Now - "Go to the mirror, boy, go to the mirror!"* * Our thanks to Peter Townshend ["Tommy"] for keeping you in mind!

What a pathetic and ridiculous claim. If you have got through life without becoming insane in any of the classical ways, bi-polar, schizophrenic, etc, you aren't going to develop it at 70. "said Eliot Cohen, a senior State Department official" And his psychiatric qualifications are what exactly?

See what? Being a clown, having a different way of doing business, or of being a leader, doesnt make him clinically insane.

I simply cannot believe you are using that argument in any discussion about Trump. The man *is* an extreme, of everything. Not that I entirely disagree with you on the rest of your posts, but, seriously.
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

The comment was about Balboos, not Trump.

I'm just pointing out the inconsistency of the people who choose to side with. Or am I missing something here? You're criticizing him for being immature and asserting that he's assuming extremes, when IMHO he's basically just being whimsical and trolling you. And then on the other hand you're defending (or at least seeming to) Donald Trump, who is really making some questionable calls, displaying a marked lack of restraint and maturity, and does seem a bit crazy, to be honest. Not that I think it's old-age dementia though - it's just long-term personality defects shining through untrammeled now that he's POTUS.

I dont have a high opinion about Trump, but he isnt clinically insane, that story is just slanderous, and ridiculous.

Well if he didn't actually do any of the things it says he did then yes it is slanderous, but I can believe that he did do them. Whether or not that amounts to him being actually clinically insane? I would say not. But then again, I'm no psychiatrist. It's typical HuffPo hand-wringing, but his behaviour (again, if true) is still definitely not that of someone I would like to be anywhere near those launch codes. I mean, there is a decent possibility of there being some genuine crises during his reign, sorry term of office, which will put pressure on exactly those parts of him that are weak - his temper, his ego, his lack of respect. I guess we shall see how he handles himself then.

Personally I think he only ran for president for a joke, and he doesn't really want the job, so I can see 4 years and he won't run again. Hopefully he can put the US back on track economically in those 4 years.
