President Trump Strikes Again!

This time, he links the death of a murdered citizen, reactions to which are burning his country down around him, to his own self-aggrandisement about the unemployment figures.
He actually says that Mr Floyd will be 'looking down' on him, and that it's a 'great day for him ...'.
There are one or two possible holes in the President's reasoning I feel -
If Mr Floyd is looking down, he may be less inclined to be smiling about the employment figures, he might be pondering why he has been murdered, and what the President is actually going to do about the fallout from that.
Mr Floyd might also be wondering why the President thinks it's a 'great day' for him because … he is still dead!!
Of course, we should not be surprised at this latest nonsense from the President.
The simple fact, which he demonstrates time and time again is this -
President Trump cannot think on his feet - a pre-requisite for any politician at any level.
He is unable to stop what comes into his brain simultaneously coming out of his mouth, and sadly, what does come into his brain in unconnected random thoughts with no sense in them, or link between them.
You can see when he is doing this - first of all he looks right at the camera, which means (oh no!!!) - he has stopped reading the autocue, or any notes he has been given to prevent just such an occurrence as this.
Then his eyes glaze over as he launches into one of his stream-of-nonsense speeches, where he ceases to think at all, and simply says the random words that flit across his mind.
The clincher is the short pause, where even he realises that he has ceased to make any sense whatsoever, and he is simply babbling - again. But of course, he can't have silence, so his mouth starts up again with more of those unconnected meaningless words, and on he goes.
Someone in his administration should be saying "Read this - and only this - do NOT deviate from it in any way shape or form, and when you have read it, stop talking."
The chances are someone does this, but being Donald Trump, he knows better and takes no notice.
The USA is being run by a man whose brain simply does not function normally, and here is proof - again, as if we needed it.

Bobbi - // Far be it for me to explain my last post to you Andy, wouldn’t like to spin this one would I? //
You can't have it both ways.
You can stick entirely to the thread, and accuse me of 'spinning' if you wish, or you can do as you are doing here - 'spinning' in order to accuse me of 'spinning'!
But you can't act in way you accuse me of doing, in order to accuse me - that simply makes you as 'bad' as you advise I am.
Make your mind up - or better still, let's get back to the topic where we are both on safe ground.

This is a serious question. Listening to Trump I think he has mental health issues -he may have always had them but the stress of recent months has probably exacerbated them . Who legally could step in (if anyone) and remove him from office on the grounds of mental incapacity? Could he be sectioned?

I am sure there is legislation in place to remove the President in the event that he is judged to be unfit to discharge is responsibilities.
The difficulty would be actually setting that machinery in motion, and that would be seriously complex and I would imagine, very very hard to succeed with.
I do think at best he is simply unfit for office based on his personality and outlook, and at worst, he may as you say have mental health issues.
Either way he is unfit, but ironically, that 'non-politician' persona he exhibits is exactly what got him elected, and quite probably will do so again.

Bobbi - // Andy I find you very hypocritical on this thread , you come out fighting for one and then decide that a thread will go off the rails when another is being disrespected, oh well, such as you’re wont I suppose //
As I have pointed out - 'disrespecting' someone is a matter of opinion, breaking Site Rules is a matter of fact.
I did not 'come out fighting' as you put it, I pointed out a breach of Site Rules.
