In reply to the discussion: The Shallow State: Last night, our President "had a hypomanic episode borne of narcissistic rage" [View all]Irish_Dem
(78,510 posts)36. Well, not really compared to severe manic episodes.
The kind where the police have to be called, and patient put in hand cuffs.
Then pink slipped and taken to a locked psych ward and patient put into
restraints and medicated up to their eyeballs so they don't kill anyone.
Most people have never seen this kind of manic episode.
It is scary for sure.
But yes I agree, Trump was crazy as a loon the other night.
And he should lose his job and medicated.
Kids should get guardianship and take away his keys.
And I can argue that Trump is killing people every day.
And a threat to humanity.
