“The president is, simply put, not a well man. He subsists on a diet of fast food and aspirin, stays up until the wee hours of the night doom-scrolling on social media, and spent Christmas day rage-posting on his Truth Social platform'', wrote Janna Brancolini at The Daily Beast. “This is why impeachment is not enough.”

Trump’s letter (regarding Greenland) was so extreme that European officials were circulating a meme of the American president’s letter, written in crayon, Alternet reported.

“These are the ramblings of a man who has lost touch with reality,” wrote U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)

“This letter, and the fact that the president directed that it be distributed to other European countries, should trigger a bipartisan congressional inquiry into presidential fitness,” commented Professor of Medicine and Surgery Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst.

Critics warn Trump impeachment is 'not enough' — urge '25th Amendment' removal

“Trump‘s new gigantic temper tantrum over Norway is deep into 25th Amendment territory,” remarked the Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson. “Hell, at this point? 25th Admt territory is far in the rearview mirror and we are descending further into madness by the moment.”

Former Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh simply urged, “25th Amendment. Now.”

What can you add to this, he's gone nuts, power has gone to his brain, or what's left of it, mush, I think the USA needs to replace him with a 90 year old.

Wow. Just wow.

He is the very picture of lucid.

"It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart. I say, 'What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there?" Trump said. "By the way, lot of shark attacks lately. Did you notice that?"

During a meeting with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, abruptly switched from discussing immigration to saying this: “The other thing I say to Europe: we’ve – we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery.”

Trump proceeded to speak, non-stop and unprompted, for two minutes about windmills, claiming without evidence that they drive whales “loco” and that wind energy “kills the birds” (the proportion of birds killed by turbines is tiny compared with the number killed by domestic cats and from flying into power lines).

The abrupt changes in conversation are an example of Trump “digressing without thinking – he’ll just switch topics without self-regulation, without having a coherent narrative”, said Harry Segal, a senior lecturer in the psychology department at Cornell University and in the psychiatry department at Weill Cornell Medicine. Segal said another characteristic of Trump’s questionable mental acuity is confabulation. “It’s where he takes an idea or something that’s happened and he adds to it things that have not happened.”

A high-profile example came in mid-July, when Trump claimed his uncle, the late professor John Trump, had taught Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, at MIT.

Trump recalled: “I said: ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John? Dr John Trump.’ I said: ‘What kind of a student?’ And then he said: ‘Seriously, good.’ He said: ‘He’d correct – he’d go around correcting everybody.’ But it didn’t work out too well for him.”

The problem is: that cannot possibly be true. First, Trump’s uncle died in 1985, and Kaczynski was only publicly identified as the Unabomber in 1996. Second, Kaczynski did not study at MIT.

“The story makes no sense whatsoever, but it’s told in a very warm, reflective way, as if he’s remembering it,” Segal said. “This level of thinking really has been deteriorating.”

I got rid of – just one I got rid of the other night, you buy a house, they have a faucet in the house, Joe, and the faucet the water doesn’t come out. They have a restrictor. You can’t – in areas where you have so much water they don’t know what to do with it. Uh, you have a shower head the shower doesn’t uh, the shower doesn’t, you think it’s not working. It is working. The water’s dripping out and that’s no good for me. I like this hair lace and [sic] – I like that hair nice and wet. Takes you – you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair. And I put a, a thing – and it sounds funny but it’s really not. It’s horrible. And uh, when you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You’re washing whole – water barely comes out it’s ridi – this was done by crazy people. And I wor – wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they can’t just change it.”

“Any fair-minded mental-health expert would be very worried about Donald Trump’s performance,” Richard A Friedman, a professor of clinical psychiatry and the director of the psychopharmacology clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College.

He added: “If a patient presented to me with the verbal incoherence, tangential thinking, and repetitive speech that Trump now regularly demonstrates, I would almost certainly refer them for a rigorous neuropsychiatric evaluation to rule out a cognitive illness.”

Trump lawless is easy to find or are you another yank with blinkers on and trump is a pedo protector

None of which has defied Congress or the Court, unless you have evidence otherwise. No? I thought not.

Just because Trump does things the left does not like, does not make him a dictator.

How has Trump defied Congress or the Court in regard to the Epstein files?

A dictatorship is a government where one person or a small group holds absolute power, unchecked by laws, constitutions, or the people

Personalist Dictatorship: Power is highly centralized around one charismatic leader. 

scholars and political figures warning of authoritarian trends due to figures like Donald Trump, pointing to potential erosion of democratic norms, increased executive power, and challenges to institutions,

Authoritarian Drift:

• Erosion of Norms: Concerns exist about the disregard for traditional democratic processes and the judiciary, with some seeing a move towards "constitutional authoritarianism" where power is stretched within legal but unusual boundaries.

• Increased Executive Power: Reports highlight attempts to consolidate power, such as making military leaders subservient and using emergency powers more freely, leading some to fear autocratic tendencies.

• Political Polarization: The deep divisions and focus on control, including redistricting efforts, are seen by some as weakening democratic foundations.

• Science-Based Warnings: Some research suggests the U.S. has already passed initial stages of "incremental autocratization," according to a model by Scientific American. 

The new North Korea !!!!! Hail Trump!!!!

So far, Trump has defied neither the Court nor Congress. If you have an example otherwise, please provide it.

Here you go, 1 minute search...

A federal judge said on Monday that the White House had defied his order to release billions of dollars in federal grants, marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump administration is disobeying a judicial mandate.

The ruling by Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island federal court ordered administration officials to comply with what the judge called “the plain text” of a ruling he issued on Jan. 29.

That order, he wrote, was “clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance.”

Not from the US, huh? That's a court, not "the" Court.

It has been appealed, yes? When the appeals are over, and the judgment is final, Trump will comply, as he has all along.

Within legal boundaries. The last administration did this as well.

There has been no increase in executive powers. The number of executive orders has increased with most every administration, but that is not an increase in power.

This is just a lot of noise from the left.

Polarization started mostly with Obama, and there is nothing new about redistricting. That's why California has 43D vs 9R representatives, while only 45% of voters are Democrat.

This is just a lot of noise from the left. Notice they were all for Gavin redistricting.

No one in the US holds absolute power. That "Scientific American" along with virtually every other publication controlled by the left does not surprise me.

The left wants open borders and mass migration. Trump is in the way of that.

The congressman is spot on.
