New York Times – MS. MOMOCRACY

During the Trump campaign, his narcissism was on display for all to see. I think most people, even his staunch supporters will agree that he is narcissistic but acknowledging that narcissism as a clinical disorder means that we must admit our President is not of sane mind and body. We must admit we elected a mentally unstable man.

This is not the time or place to discuss treatment options for narcissism or the importance of mental health; although, I will say that offering people appropriate healthcare starts with access to that care–it always starts with access.

What I do want to talk about is Trump’s state of health. Having an untreated narcissist as a leader of our country makes no logical sense and puts the entire planet in a very dangerous position. Not a day has gone by since Trump took office that I personally have not felt stressed, angered, ashamed or embarrassed by his or his administrations’ behavior.

His craziness has been on display for all to see but what worked to his benefit as a reality TV personality–the crazier the better-“You’re FIRED!”–does NOT work as the President of the United States. Unhinged is no longer amusing.

For me, his character was undeniable from the moment I ever heard of him, way back when he was just a privileged D-bag who hung out in NYC. I really struggle with the fact that so many fellow Americans were willing to overlook his severe character flaws and are still willing to overlook them. I am not comfortable with an imbecile running our country.

Think I am being too harsh? Take a look at some transcripts from his interviews, watch or listen to his press conferences or interviews. Listen with an open mind. If this man was your boss, if he ran your company or household, would you be concerned? What if he was running your country…

Back on November 23, 2016 the New York Times published a transcript of an interview they did with Don the Con. His rambling incoherent speech pattern is troublesome to say the least. Back in November he was still focusing on his “big” win. Did he learn his lesson and improve his public speaking—Hell, NO! It has only gotten worse. His team can not camouflage his craziness with one liners anymore. “Lock her up” and “Build that wall” have served their purpose and even the Trump team realizes the public is catching on to their deceit.

Trump is insane and what does that make us?

If you plan on reading or listening to the full transcripts or interviews, may I suggest a nice Pinot Noir.
