I will admit that it is getting harder to live in a reality where it is so apparent that the president of the United States is clearly ill.
Even to someone who is not medically trained it is obvious something is seriously wrong with president donald j. felon*.
Who threatens to obliterate an entire country at 5:03 a.m. on Easter Sunday in an expletive-laden social media post?

Shortly after that post was picked up by media outlets, Dr. Vin Gupta, MS NOW’s senior medical analyst, posted his own medical opinion that the president is exhibiting all the signs of dementia, NJ.com reported.
Gupta wrote that the president was erratic, that he can’t finish sentence and is often confused.
The doctor said he has difficulties finding correct words and has an illogical train of thought.
He said the president was “worsening gradually over time.”
Of course, the Democratic side of the aisle criticized the president’s post.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the president was “ranting like an unhinged madman on social media” by threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies,” The Guardian reported.
“This is who he is, but this is not who we are,” Schumer said. “Our country deserves so much better.”
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, said on social media that if he were in the Cabinet, he would spend Easter asking constitutional lawyers about the 25th amendment.
“This is completely, utterly unhinged,” he said. “He’s already killed thousands. He’s going to kill thousands more.”
However, surprisingly, former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to say that everyone in his administration should “beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.”
She then said, “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”
Whether you think the elderly golfer seriously ill from dementia or just insane, I think most rational people would prefer that he be relieved of his duties.
And it would be wise to remember that he further threatened Iran in a way that can easily be assumed to be catastrophic and could lead to dire consequences here at home.
This is not someone who should have control of weapons of mass destruction.
