Surely there are rules, laws, constitutional amendments etc re allowing someone as mentally unstable as this to be in charge? Surely? I know he's been allowed to pack the supreme court, but even so. And do the Rep. Party not understand their acquiescence in all this makes them unfit to govern, ever?

Oh yes, he started Truth Social when they kicked the nutjob off of Twitter, though Elon let him back in again later. It has all gone way beyond a joke, an obviously seriously unhinged person simply cannot be allowed to hold this much power.

Because I am a reasonable, sensible, sane human, I assumed that this was faked so I checked it out (it's a Sunday morning, I have a few seconds to spare), and, apparently, it is not. The actual president of the actual USofA, the world's biggest nuclear power, did actually post this. We are screwed.
