Trump Retweets Video Hitting Clinton with Golf Ball

What more evidence of gross personality disorder is required to convince Trumpites that their man in office is a psychopathic megalomaniac and should be removed from office without delay?

Not only did this midget of a man who frequently has little connection with reality sit up and take notice of a doctored video whereby he is shown violently smashing a golf ball that somehow miraculously hits a woman (i.e., Hillary Rodham Clinton) in the back as she enters an airplane, causing her to fall, but today, September 17, 2017, at 8:18 a.m., that man—OUR PRESIDENT—retweeted that self-same tweet to the U.S. public at large (and indeed to the world at large). There have been over 1,000 retweets and over 3,000 likes so far and it’s not even noontime.

It appears that the gif was first tweeted online by “Mike” from the account @Fuctupmind three days ago. The original caption was “Donald Trump’s amazing golf swing @CrookedHillary.” The fertile minds of America’s haters are busily at work. Will the real “Fuctupmind Mike” please step forward?

Can Trump be redeemed? I'd put the chances at zero minus 1 million, give or take.

As recounted by the British tabloid the Daily Mirror, “Some users found the clip funny while others considered it grossly offensive and demonstrative of the president's penchant for violence against women.”

CNN described the retweet as follows: “The tweet, . . . came as Trump prepares to head to New York for a critical round of powerhouse diplomacy with world leaders at the United Nations, [and] followed a week during which [Hillary] Clinton reemerged in the spotlight as she promoted her new book, ‘What Happened,’ about the 2016 campaign, reviving her fiercest criticisms of Trump and his supporters and reigniting the debate about her stunning, unanticipated loss.”

My immediate reaction was that Trump was validating his reputation as clinically unbalanced and so full of rage at his election opponent that he has no control over his actions, NONE.

Just to round out his tweetstorm, Trump has also put out a tweet mocking North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man,” this when North Korea is threatening South, Korea, Japan, and the United States via Guam and Hawaii—not to mention the U.S. mainland—with nuclear annihilation at the hands of a male who is as unbalanced and easily personally threatened as Donald Trump.

And all this on a day when:

(1) four U.S. tourists, all women, were sprayed in the face with acid as they toured Marseille, France, potentially part of a terrorist attack;

(2) three new hurricanes in the Atlantic threaten to put hurricane-devastated Caribbean islands at risk of repeated watery death and destruction as well as lashing the northeast coast of the U.S.;

(3) London police continue their arrests and investigation of a London tube terror firebombing attack;

(4) Venezuela is in a death spiral of mass shortages and collapse from mismanagement and violence brought on by a dictatorship;

(5) Obamacare is beginning to falter as presidential actions take aim at its protections and begin to unravel them, jeopardizing healthcare for tens of millions of Americans and increasing premiums and deductibles for many if not most people in the U.S. healthcare system; and

(6) the U.S. debt ceiling must be increased by Congress in the next two weeks or the country will default on its obligation to pay its bills, “costing the Treasury tens of billions every year for decades to come,” and probably leading to a “serious recession.”

Moreover, there are, as always, additional crises in the U.S. and the rest of the world that require the urgent attention of a sane, focused leader.

WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? AT WHAT POINT WILL TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS AT LARGE, IN HIS CABINET, AND IN THE CONGRESS RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF DONALD TRUMP’S MENTAL ILLNESS AND TRUMP’S INABILITY TO GOVERN FOR THE GOOD OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

Hello? Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, we need to apply you asap. That amendment, enacted by Congress and ratified by the States prior to adoption in 1967—during the decade that saw President John F. Kennedy felled by an assassin—provides in Section 4 that:

“Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

“Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.”

How can Vice President Mike Pence sleep at night knowing that his fate and that of the rest of the world rests in the fevered hands and twisted maladjusted fury of Donald J. Trump?

How much longer, Mr. Pence, how much longer? Do we wait for the nuclear warheads from North Korea to land and obliterate parts of the world? What more will it take? Aren’t we already falling headlong down that dangerous slippery slope without a safety net?
