‘Is Donald Trump plain crazy?’ Big-name writers now questioning GOP nominee’s sanity

https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-sanity-mental-health-000000384.html

Is Donald Trump insane?

That’s the question being asked in recent days by prominent columnists, both liberal and conservative, about the Republican presidential nominee.

“During the primary season, as Donald Trump’s bizarre outbursts helped him crush the competition, I thought he was being crazy like a fox,” Eugene Robinson wrote in an op-ed (“Is Donald Trump just plain crazy?”) published Tuesday in the Washington Post.

“Now I am increasingly convinced that he’s just plain crazy,” Robinson continued. “I’m serious about that. Leave aside for the moment Trump’s policies, which in my opinion range from the unconstitutional to the un-American to the potentially catastrophic. At this point, it would be irresponsible to ignore the fact that Trump’s grasp on reality appears to be tenuous at best.”

.........

“One wonders if Republican leaders have begun to realize that they may have hitched their fate and the fate of their party to a man with a disordered personality,” Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote in a separate Washington Post editorial on Monday. “We can leave it to the professionals to determine exactly what to call it. Suffice to say that Donald Trump’s response to the assorted speakers at the Democratic National Convention has not been rational.”

.........

“Yes, Donald Trump is crazy,” Steven Hayes added last week in the conservative Weekly Standard. “And, yes, the Republican party owns his insanity.”

“I almost don’t blame Trump,” David Brooks wrote in the New York Times on July 29. “He is a morally untethered, spiritually vacuous man who appears haunted by multiple personality disorders. It is the ‘sane’ and ‘reasonable’ Republicans who deserve the shame.”

...........

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.”

He isn't just nuts, he is gold plated nuts.

[Gov Bean Counter]

He isn't just nuts, he is gold plated nuts.

If you are poor you are crazy.
If you rich you are eccentric.

[Wingnut]

He is Captain Queeg stawberries Crazy.

Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them.

[mirraflake]

I've always said Trump never wanted to be Prez just run for the job-reality show fun. I believe he says the most outlandish things thinking people would drop him but it's the complete opposite.

[mlizzy]

If you are poor you are crazy.
If you rich you are eccentric.

Yes, that's it! He belongs on this list:

We haven't even had this General campaign off the ground and Donny has made more gaffs, said more outrageous things and been attacking the wrong people. Hell, he is even setting up his excuse when he loses in the first 5 days.

He isn't nuts. He is just very stupid.

BTW, hey Trumpettes. Didn't all the real Conservatives tell you he was a dumb ass and all around fraud? This first week of the campaign is the rest of your life now. Enjoy.

[Ghost Bear]

Yes, he is.

Well, that was easy. Next question?

[Cripplecreek]

Mentally ill and surrounded by enablers.

We've seen it before.

[skeeter]

Yes, he is.

Well, that was easy. Next question?

How do we switch candidates to somebody who isn't so we don't end up with a corrupt malevolent hag as president?

[Wingnut]

LOL!  Great movie.

The Remake:

[Eowyn]

Yes.  He's plain crazy.

Oh well, the media corruption has convinced me to vote for him.  Even if he is crazy, he is still better than Hillary.  He can be impeached, and then Pence will be President, who is far and away better than Hillary.

The Movie "Dave" comes to mind.

Big-name writers, really? Let's ask Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Rosie O'Donnell for their opinions, too.
Meanwhile, Brain-Damaged Hillary continues on her merry way. 

Seriously, what do you think Yahoo News is going to report? They're deeply in the tank with the DNC.

Personally, I've long questioned Mark Cuban's sanity, and politics has nothing to do with it.

[mountaineer]

  No way I will ever vote for Trump or Clinton.  Or Johnson.  That's like choosing between being drowned or strangled or poisoned.  Um...how about none of the above.

Yep, it's a real conundrum this year. 

[Eowyn]

Do what you feel is right.  Me?  No way I will ever vote for Trump or Clinton.  Or Johnson.  That's like choosing between being drowned or strangled or poisoned.  Um...how about none of the above.

I agree that all 3 are AWFUL choices.  Couldn't be worse.

[Idaho_Cowboy]

The Remake:

Right now the campaign is busy steaming in circles. This suggests a new nickname for Trump: Old Spray tan Stain.

[HonestJohn]

Crazy?

It is not Trump who am crazy...  It is Trump who am MAD!!!

What did everyone expect after the way he conducted himself in the primaries. Trump supporters created this mess and unfortunately we all have to live with the consequences. Cruz was such a better choice, but we can't undo the damage now. The clintoons can play Trump like a drum, trot out a muslim to talk about his son killed in battle and to attack Trump. They knew, just like we all did, he would come back right at them. When this dies down they will get someone else to attack him who is also a sympathetic figure and Trump will do the same.

There's a reason, especially in today's biased media environment, that candidates running for POTUS are experienced politicians. In experienced ones walk into obvious traps.

As someone with an intense dislike of Trump,  he's not crazy.....just a loudmouthed schnook. There are many billionaires who think they know everything and are smarter than everybody else. Trump is one of them. But success in business does not automatically make a person a genius or competent in other areas.
 The problem is Trump is thoroughly incompetent and unqualified for a load of reasons.    But he is the first billionaire to get the nomination of a major party. Billionaires are used to people do what they say or getting fired. That doesn't work in politics.  A president can't fire congressmen from his or the other party. Trump doesn't understand that....among many things he doesn't understand.

Boy that nails it!

That's the way I see it. He's obnoxious, arrogant, self-absorbed and morally repulsive. He has that in common with countless politicians - including the current occupant of the White House and the Democrat opponent.

Exactly!
