I just came across this video about Donald Trump on the Occupy Democrats Youtube channel. I think it’s a reputable source, so we can probably trust it. It picks up on a theme which I’ve come across quite a bit recently: Trump’s mental health. It’s becoming clearer and clearer that the guy has significant psychological problems. I don’t just mean his intelligence, which is obviously lacking, but his very grip on reality. Apparently, rather than through normal daily briefings, the only way White House staff can supply Trump with the information that he needs is through Fox-style news bulletins. He seems to have the attention span if not the entire demeanour of a four year old.

As much as I like to champion human diversity, and as much as I know that it is wrong for countries to interfere in the democratic affairs of others, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that the wider world cannot sit back and watch as it’s foremost superpower descends into a form of fascistic chaos. Putting aside the fact that I think the era of US primacy should now be ending, it is still the worlds biggest economy and most powerful military: if we sit back and watch this mentally ill man drive it over a cliff, the chances are it will drag the rest of the world down with it. There is no telling what chaos will then unfold, but I daresay we’re just seeing the start of it. Surely we must take some kind of action as soon as we can to avert the US and the wider world from it’s present horrifying course.

Trump is obviously unfit for office: if US civil structures prohibit them from relieving him of power on medical grounds, at the end of the day the wider world has no choice but to act. The consequences of not doing so – of sitting back and watching as our foremost superpower drops into a deranged kind of fascism – are simply too hideous to contemplate.
