For over two years we have watched President Trump become more and more unhinged. This past weekend should have been a frightening experience for even the most casual observer of our political situation. His disjointed attacks on the Mueller investigation and irrational rants against the late Senator John McCain should make his enablers in Congress more than nervous.For over two years we have watched President Trump become more and more unhinged.

It is getting harder to ignore that we have an emotionally unbalanced individual as our chief executive. For Congress to ignore these obvious signs is a dereliction of duty.

President Trump’s recent tweets do not mean that he is unraveling or a madman; he is just throwing a temper tantrum. All his adult life he has surrounded himself with sycophants who catered to his every whim. Fox News has been filling that role by stroking his ego.President Trump’s recent tweets do not mean that he is unraveling or a madman; he is just throwing a temper tantrum.

A plausible reason for the recent tweets is not necessarily the Mueller investigation or the rebuke from Congress on his emergency declaration, but more likely that Fox News suspended the “Justice With Judge Jeanine” show Saturday night (“After a Rare Public Rebuke, Fox News Suspends a Host, to the President’s Chagrin,” news article, March 18).A plausible reason for the recent tweets is not necessarily the Mueller investigation or the rebuke from Congress on his emergency declaration, but more likely that Fox News suspended the “Justice With Judge Jeanine” show Saturday night (“After a Rare Public Rebuke, Fox News Suspends a Host, to the President’s Chagrin,” news article, March 18).
His cuddly bear and enabler was taken away from him, and he lashed out like a spoiled little boy. But through denial and more projection and maybe a rally or numerous likes on his Twitter feed, he will be back to his old grandiose self in a few days.His cuddly bear and enabler was taken away from him, and he lashed out like a spoiled little boy.

So much attention is being paid to President Trump’s tweets, the Mueller investigation, terrorism, immigration. But how about focusing on a truly inspiring story of the indomitable strength of the family, the foundation of society. If Kellyanne and George Conway can keep it together, despite Mr. Conway’s questioning the president’s mental fitness, there’s hope for all of us.So much attention is being paid to President Trump’s tweets, the Mueller investigation, terrorism, immigration.
