    Sane or Insane President? – That’s the Question

    I don’t want to sound like an alarmist but I have to say that we should all be alarmed at the very real possibility of losing this presidential election to someone who is obviously suffering from a mental disorder, as well as a personality disorder on top of that, right before our very eyes. If you think I am exaggerating the issue, look at what I found on the May Clinic website. Let me know who this sounds like to you and describes the undisputed symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder:

    “Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance…Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it…Exaggerating your achievements and talents…Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate…Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people…Requiring constant admiration…Having a sense of entitlement…Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations…Taking advantage of others to get what you want…Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others…Being envious of others and believing others envy you…Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner.”

    This is who could be your next president if we ALL don’t VOTE for Hillary Clinton!

    I would love to suggest that Trump has both but could not definitively make that case. I’m not a doctor but these symptoms appear to be apparent as well in our next president if we All don’t go and VOTE for Hillary by wasting just one VOTE:

    “Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness that centers on the inability to manage emotions effectively. The disorder occurs in the context of relationships: sometimes all relationships are affected, sometimes only one. It usually begins during adolescence or early adulthood.”

    “While some persons with BPD are high functioning in certain settings, their private lives may be in turmoil. Most people who have BPD suffer from problems regulating their emotions and thoughts, impulsive and sometimes reckless behavior and unstable relationships.” Sound familiar to you yet?

    So I ask, are these traits not apparent and telling in the Republican nominee for President of the most powerful nation on earth? Who is a puppet for Russia’s dictator, Putin? Will we allow this man who in my opinion, has two (2) very serious mental illnesses. Will we hold the fate of the entire world by having the keys to nuclear war if someone insults him or gets under his thin skin? Should we be alarmed enough to not waste one single VOTE based on other ideologies about social and political revolution, no matter how well intended they may be? This is far too serious than just policies.

    It’s easy to get the facts about the unfair charges and comments about Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Obama not providing more security about the endless concerns over Benghazi. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell reduced the security budget by $330 million dollars. The need was requested and denied, so how was that anyone’s fault other than the same hypocrites who denied it, then blamed Secretary Clinton. My question is—so why doesn’t the media make that abundantly clear?

    As well, when it comes to the deletion of 33,000 emails on Hillary’s part, I think we could all answer that one. How many emails do you delete daily and over many years? I delete emails daily, don’t we all? So what’s the big deal with that? I probably have deleted thousands myself and so have most of us.

    We can’t sit back and let a man who is unwell speak for decent people in America, while forging alliances with those who would destroy us and others worldwide. I love Bernie Sanders and would have vehemently supported him. I believe in the revolution that he and his supporters created. I also think it can continue as long as he has a prominent place in the next administration. But if we divide up the VOTES needed to stop Trump who is glaringly not well, a serial liar extraordinaire, who has nothing to show related to real sacrifices for the people (only himself, refer to above diagnosis), xenophobic, racist, misogynist, meandering babbler, and sick individual…then we have no one to blame but ourselves.

    Enough is enough. Sound the alarm (s) and VOTE for someone who can win for all of us!
