At last week’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed Hillary Clinton while suggesting his fellow billionaire is not of sound mind.

“Let’s elect a sane, competent person,” Bloomberg said.

Another billionaire, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, also questioned Trump’s sanity.

“Donald initially — I really hoped he would be something different, that as a businessperson, I thought there was an opportunity there,” Cuban told CNN while campaigning with Clinton in his hometown of Pittsburgh on Saturday. “But then he went off the reservation and went bats*** crazy.”

“We can gloss over it, laugh about it, analyze it,” Stuart Stevens, chief strategist to Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, wrote on Twitter. “But Donald Trump is not a well man.”

LIBs are all mentally ill. That has been universally established. These fools are projecting onto Trump. Maybe they all will be hospitalized when Trump wins. What fools...frightened fools.

Vox founder Ezra Klein made a similar observation following Trump’s press conference the day after last month’s Republican National Convention. Instead of focusing on a unifying message, Trump resurfaced the debunked conspiracy theory that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s father was linked to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“Have we stopped to appreciate how crazy Donald Trump has gotten recently?” Klein asked.

“There was no reason for Trump to say any of this,” Klein wrote. “Trump had just accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for president. Cruz had been vanquished, booed off the stage. Trump’s opponent, now, was Hillary Clinton. But he couldn’t help himself. He couldn’t stay on message, he couldn’t suppress the crazy, for 24 hours.”

Actually, there most certainly was. After Cruz failed to endorse Trump he said it was because Trump attacked his wife and father. I saw various reporters on Twitter defend Ted because Trump attacked his wife and father. Trump was responding to that. It didn't come out of thin air.

Ah, yes!!
The “dark” theme has run its course! Now it’s the “insanity” theme.

Michael Bloomberg grandson of Alexander "Elick" Bloomberg, an immigrant from Russia. His maternal grandfather, Max Rubens, was an immigrant from present-day Belarus, then also part of Russia

Mark Cuban aka Mark Chabenisky. Grandparents came Russia and Romania. Grandfather changed the name to Cuban.

One has to wonder if the grandparents were all commies or if the grandkids became assholes all by themselves.

Let’s see...Michael Bloomberg & Mark Cuban are questioning Trump’s sanity. Does anyone else see the irony in this?

Read further though:

Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio, though, argues that Trump is not crazy but instead “sees the world as a constant struggle for victory and lacks a moral compass.”

“The word ‘crazy’ conjures up a person who is so plagued by delusions, or perhaps hallucinations, that he makes no sense at all,” D’Antonio wrote in an op-ed for CNN.com. “Consider his success, both before and during his pursuit of the presidency, and it’s hard to argue that Trump suffers from such a profoundly distorted view of reality. In fact he has long demonstrated a keen awareness of how our society worships celebrity and rewards those who can attract the limelight and hold its focus.”

The crazy people are the ones believing Hillary Clinton’s lies.
