“He’s the hardest working president in years, perhaps ever”.

And it is amazing how well he has held up after 24/7 attacks since before he was sworn in.

And all things considered, it’s amazing what he has accomplished.

I don’t remember where my father was born. I don’t remember World War I either.

The Yale prof has been making a career of this. From Wiki because I'm too lazt to look elsewhere at the moment.

"..In April 2017 Lee hosted a meeting at Yale University medical school to discuss the mental health of President Donald Trump.[5][6] In an interview with Salon in May 2017 she argued that the subject of the President's mental health amounted to a "state of emergency" as "our survival as a species may be at stake."[7] She also discussed her political views, linking what she sees as increasing inequality in the United States to a deterioration in collective mental health.[7] Later in 2017 she was the editor of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, a book of essays that examined Trump's mental health[8] and resulted in her receiving thousands of threatening messages by letter, phone and on social media that included death threats.[1] In December 2017 she met 12 members of the United States Congress (11 Democrats, 1 Republican) to give them her opinion on the mental health of Donald Trump in which she reportedly argued that he was "unraveling".[1] She later made clear, however, the difficulty of arranging meetings with Republican members.[9] She has since met other Democratic law-makers.[10] Lee's book and her presentation to members of Congress has contributed to the debate about whether the Goldwater rule, the informal name given to the rule of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures they have not examined, still holds and its precise interpretation.[1][11][12] In a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine, Jeffrey Lieberman, past president of the APA, argued that while he accepted that Lee and her co-authors were acting in good faith and out of a sense of moral obligation, they were guilty of a "misguided and dangerous morality"

And Yahoo News is the very bottom greasy slime in the gutter of fake news.

Bandy Lee. Call him/her patient 1. Suffers from both TDS and also TURD -— Trump Unacceptance of Reality Disorder. Debilitating syndrome in which, with nothing but outlandish unproven theories, the patient exhibits a persistent belief that President Trump, a productive, effective leader,is, instead, a dangerous psychopath who is going to destroy us all.

I have said Donald Trump reminds me of my late husband. How... my hubby was as honest a man you’d ever find. However, off the cuff, he might answer in a new and odd way. I used to say we, as a couple, would not do well on one of those TV shows where the couple’s answers strive to be the same. You never knew what my hubby might answer to any given question if it was not the most important item on his mind at that moment. He’d say, “you want an answer, I give you an answer”, but it might just be to quiet the noise, so to speak.

He sounded like he knew and was well aware of his thinking and answers... but knowing him, I knew he just gave off the cuff.. not spending time deep in thought on things that didn’t really matter. He would not have known where his father was born if I had not been into genealogy. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his father.. he wouldn’t have seen the significance of knowing to satisfy the media dummmies.

He didn’t dwell on unimportant things and he dismissed things that might be important to others, as insignificant enough to dwell .. and give an off the cuff answer. He cared about things that made a differnce, and didn’t have time to cram his mind on things that others worried about or talked about... he was polite but absent in spending time on things that were way down on the list.

I say all the above .. he was much like Trump... smart, honest, trustworthy, dependable... but he would not have been able to truthfully say what his favorite color was.. He’d give you an answer, but it would be to satisfy the question, not to inform you what it actually was.. because it didn’t matter to him. He didn’t stop and give it thought in his life.

I’d be more concerned about the media’s ability to tell fact from fiction and their desire to stuff their opinion into every “news’ piece they put out.

He probably lost his wife to a businessman so now he hates that kind of guy.

But when King Obongo signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey, and couldn’t remember what year it was, that wasn’t considered “cognitive decline”, nor was his “57 states” gaffe, or his mention of the “Austrian language”.

Got it.

A wackjob liberal with a degree in Psychotherapeutic Healing Metasciences from Matchbook University and Baitshoppe in Bogota thinks Trump is losing it. That’s all I need to know. Impeach him!
