BLOG: Trump has SEVERE psychiatric disabilities. Here are links to several articles.

August 17, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

Article #1:  Bully-in-chief: Experts say Trump’s ‘antisocial personality disorder’ fits a pattern. I have read a number of articles in which experts in psychology and psychiatry explain Trumps mental illness. This article does a good job and points out some interesting political aspects. While mental illness is not an impeachable offense, the 25th Amendment is a remedy. I am interested in that too, but that’s a long shot because the leadership for using that remedy would have to come from people close to Trump. https://www.alternet.org/2019/07/bully-in-chief-experts-say-trumps-antisocial-personality-disorder-fits-a-pattern/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=828   Article #2:  Yale psychiatrist predicts Trump’s ‘disgrace and downfall.’ The article is at this […]

Solid info + smart insights: Psychoanalyst says Trump’s ‘mental pathology’ means he ‘hates reality.’

August 17, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

The quotations I have included here include some links to source materials.  Those links are live in the full article, which I have linked at the end of this blog post. The article I have linked at the end of this post starts with this paragraph: Donald Trump is a living, breathing national emergency. Our president has repeatedly encouraged violence against his perceived enemies — and at least some of his supporters are following his lead. These are not isolated incidents. There are dozens of court cases where Donald Trump has been cited for “inspiring” acts of violence and other […]

Trump does something that Nazi Dr. Mengele did at a concentration camp: separate family members from each other

August 13, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

Today I posted a blog item comparing Trump’s rhetoric and policies with Hitler’s when Hitler was gaining power.  Although those two differ in their cruelty, the similarities are striking. One similarity is that a high-ranking Nazi official, Dr. Mengele, worked at a Nazi concentration camp where many thousands of Jews and other “undesirable” people arrived, and Mengele broke families apart. He sent some family members to suffer in the camp, and he sent other members of the same families to die in the ovens. Although Trump is not conducting mass slaughter like Trump did, Trump has deliberately and hatefully targeted […]

Trump reportedly employs MANY undocumented immigrant workers

August 13, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

Voters hate hypocrisy in their politicians! Since Trump’s inauguration I have read several news articles reporting that Trump has been employing MANY undocumented immigrant workers.    Yet another article was posted on August 12, 2019, with the headline “Top official refuses to say if Trump is also being investigated for exploiting undocumented labor.” The link is at this URL:  https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/8/12/1878481/-Top-official-refuses-to-say-if-Trump-is-also-being-investigated-for-exploiting-undocumented-labor?detail=emaildkre

The world is uniting for international law, against US empire.

August 13, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

The world is uniting for international law, against US empire. Below I have linked an informative article (Aug 12, 2019, by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers) that focuses especially on the U.S.’s failure to overthrow Venezuela’s government.  It mentions the Non-Aligned Movement as a mobilizing force. Besides opposing the U.S.’s “regime-change” efforts, the article also opposes the U.S.’s cruel economic sanctions against many nations, and it upholds international law. Here is the interesting, informative article:  https://www.nationofchange.org/2019/08/12/the-world-is-uniting-for-international-law-against-us-empire/

Federal courts are in crisis caused by Trump-McConnell and by Democrats’ negligence

August 13, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

The article linked here says Trump and McConnell’s Senate have packed the courts with right-wing extremists, but Democrats have NO PLAN to save the courts:  https://rewire.news/article/2019/08/02/where-is-the-bold-progressive-proposal-to-take-back-the-courts-from-trump/   Trump’s nominees are MUCH MORE EXTREMIST on the Right Wing than other Republican presidents’ nominees. But Democrats treat them as “business as usual,” and Senate Minority Leader (DEMOCRAT) Chuck Schumer FAST-TRACKED their rapid approvals.  See this article: https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/01/25/these-are-not-normal-nominees-trump-stacks-courts-far-right-judges-dems-urged?cd-origin=rss&utm_term=%27These%20Are%20Not%20Normal%20Nominees%27%3A%20As%20Trump%20Stacks%20Courts%20With%20Far-Right%20Judges%2C%20Dems%20Urged%20to%20Recognize%20Depth%20of%20Crisis&utm_campaign=%27This%20Is%20a%20Cave%2C%20Not%20a%20Wall%27%3A%20After%2035%20Days%20a%20Trump%20Agrees%20to%20End%20%27All%20for%20Nothing%27%20Shutdown%20%7C%20News%20%2526%20Views&utm_content=email&utm_source=Daily%20Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&cm_mmc=Act-On%20Software-_-email-_-%27This%20Is%20a%20Cave%2C%20Not%20a%20Wall%27%3A%20After%2035%20Days%20a%20Trump%20Agrees%20to%20End%20%27All%20for%20Nothing%27%20Shutdown%20%7C%20News%20%2526%20Views-_-%27These%20Are%20Not%20Normal%20Nominees%27%3A%20As%20Trump%20Stacks%20Courts%20With%20Far-Right%20Judges%2C%20Dems%20Urged%20to%20Recognize%20Depth%20of%20Crisis

TRULY ALARMING comparisons between how Trump and Hitler gained power!

August 13, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

An experienced and prominent civil rights lawyer lists 20 ways Trump is copying Hitler’s early rhetoric and policies. This is not a trivial rant, but rather a VERY SOLID AND SUBSTANTIVE comparison that is TRULY ALARMING! The title of the article I linked below is “Civil rights lawyer: 20 ways Trump is copying Hitler’s early rhetoric and policies.” The subtitle is “Civil liberties lawyer Burt Neuborne questions whether federal government can contain Trump and GOP power grabs.” The author’s book says our nation’s checks and balances might not be enough to protect us from Trump’s Hitlerian rhetoric and policies based […]

184 House Republicans voted against protecting our elections from foreign interference!

August 10, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

The Mueller Report and much other compelling evidence have proved foreign nations have interfered with elections in the USA.  Any decent, patriotic American would want our elections to be clean and free from foreign meddling.  But Trump allowed it in 2016, and he publicly said he would allow it in 2020 too. On July 15, 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Securing America’s Federal Elections Act” (the SAFE Act) by a vote of 225 to 184.  All of the 184 who VOTED AGAINST secure elections were Republicans. See this:  https://thinkprogress.org/184-house-republicans-just-voted-against-securing-elections-ee5dba5d71d0/

Baltimore’s bad housing? Jared Kushner is one of the WORST SLUMLORDS!!!

August 10, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

Trump keeps attacking people of color.  In the summer of 2019 he harshly attacked an African-American U.S. Representative (Elijah Cummings) who had criticized Trumps cruel behaviors.  Trump took delight in attacking with racism this Congressman from Baltimore.  Trump tried to make it seem like Rep. Cummings was responsible for rodents in Baltimore. However, one of Baltimore’s biggest landlords is Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.  Kushner’s slum buildings have been rat-infested for a long time, and the City of Baltimore repeatedly cites Kushner for violating city housing laws.  See this:  https://forcechange.com/538646/get-alleged-slumlord-kingpin-kushner-out-of-baltimore-housing-business/

Trump is ESCALATING his WAR ON HONEST SCIENCE

August 10, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

EXAMPLE #1: Mid-July 2019: The Trump regime is PREVENTING the US Geological Survey from studying climate effects past the year 2040. Major scientific trends — such as the climate crisis — emerge and develop OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. If you want to PREVENT scientists from understanding those hard realities, you can SHORTEN THE TIME PERIOD they are allowed to study. This is what the Trump regime is doing to the U.S. Geological Survey.  He is PREVENTING the USGS from looking for effects after the year 2040. This is a DELIBERATELY STUPID way to ENFORCE IGNORANCE AND CLIMATE DENIALISM. It […]

Trump is PSYCHIATRICALLY UNFIT, so let’s use 25th Amendment to remove Trump!

August 9, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

Certainly Congress must impeach Trump because he has repeatedly violated the Constitution in so many ways and repeatedly broken so many federal laws. The Constitution provides an additional remedy that high-ranking federal officials must pursue.  The Constitution’s 25th Amendment calls for another remedy when high level governmental officials determine that a president is physically or mentally unfit to continue in office. Many psychologists and psychiatrists have publicly stated that Trump has serious psychological or psychiatric problems that make him too dangerous or too unfit to be president.   HERE IS SOME INFORMATION:   Trump is crazy, so we must use […]

Thom Hartmann’s 10-minute video says TRUMP IS SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL.

August 9, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

The problem is not just that Trump is wrong on the issues.  The more serious reality is that TRUMP IS SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL. Trumps serious mental illness has made the U.S. a MUCH WORSE place than before he took office. He is deliberately provoking racism and violence against vulnerable people.  He has targeted and abused Muslims, Latinos, African Americans, LGBTQ people, poor people, the working class, and other vulnerable people because he is a bully, and bullies attack vulnerable people.  His mental illness and corruption have hurt our economy in many ways. His serious mental illness has RECKLESSLY ENDANGERED PLANET […]

On Aug. 2, 2019, Trump’s withdrawal from the INF treaty went into effect.

August 5, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

On October 20, 2018, Trump announced that he was unilaterally pulling the U.S. out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, effective on August 2, 2019. That is today. See this information from the Quaker-based lobby Friends Committee on National Legislation (www.fcnl.org): https://www.fcnl.org/updates/u-s-pulls-out-of-nuclear-treaty-2241 Our local Olympia Coalition to Abolish Nuclear weapons is part of the statewide coalition, Washington Against Nuclear Weapons (www.wanwcoalition.org), which was created by Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (www.wpsr.org. See their e-mail from August 2, most of which I have copied here: Withdrawing from the INF Treaty is Bad for Our Health Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility […]

Does Trump think he would win a nuclear war? The Pentagon agrees with him!

August 5, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

Trump’s threats of using nuclear weapons in Afghanistan (recently) and North Korea and elsewhere are not merely his own psychologically distorted fantasies. Trump’s threats also reflect several decades of official thinking and planning in the Pentagon – and the purposes of some of the new nuclear weapons that the U.S. has been building for several decades. Just recently the Joint Chiefs of Staff wrote this in a formal document:  “Using nuclear weapons could create conditions for decisive results and the restoration of strategic stability. Specifically, the use of a nuclear weapon will fundamentally change the scope of a battle and […]

These short videos call for impeaching Trump.

August 5, 2019 GlenAnderson 0

In just 32 seconds, this video shows Robert Mueller giving clear answers to questions about Trump’s behavior:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD-Y2YxQzo0   In a little more than 2 minutes, this video provides more compelling information based on Mueller’s investigation.  It briefly explains why Congress ABSOLUTELY MUST impeach Trump.  U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib provided this video:  https://www.facebook.com/StandUpAmerica/videos/447717056042344/   In 4 1/2 minutes, Robert Reich explains convincingly why we absolutely must impeach Trump in order to protect the Constitution and the separation of powers, to prevent tyranny, etc..  This short video explains that our nation’s founders created the Constitution in order to prevent tyranny.  They […]
