He is not fit to serve if his mental state is compromised. We all know it is. He just admitted to it . He extorts more money from AMERICANS to line his own pockets, and we are letting him do it. Enough. He is insane. Admitted he is stressed ,mentally. Remove him He is a danger to the Country. What's to keep the mentally anguished moron from pushing the button.

As I said in a comment, the GOP is totally complicit in this hypocrisy. Either there is emotional distress which causes a reduced ability to perform a job. if this emotional distress does not cause impairment in doing his job then it is not emotional distress. But the GOP continues to support having things both ways...cut FEMA except when it's for my state, deport undocumented folks unless they ar picking crops, cleaning hotels/nursing homes in my state put tariffs on everyone except those businesses that my state relies on. And go to church every Sunday and praise the word of Jesus and make sure all week long you do all you can to violate as many of his commands like feed the hungry as often as you can.

The GOP absolutely WANTS this. Trump is THE perfect clown in chief for them, the only one insane and rambling and corrupt enough to be able to allow them to install fascism in the US with the blind approval of one third of the American people while another third is asleep at the wheel and doesn't even vote...

EUWDTB's avatar

Exactly. Although I think it's true that most neocons never wanted to install fascism, THEY prepared and laid the foundation for neofascists to take over the entire party and their media system!

It's neocons who create Fox Entertainment, explicitly designed to systematically LIE to their own audience and betray GOP voters by putting them in an "alternative facts" universe.

The way Obama was treated by neocons was already utterly immoral and scandalous. It was already entirely based on lies. They just still imagined that they could control the fire, so to speak.

It turns out they couldn't. Once an even more immoral figure like Trump comes along, all that was needed was saying the truth ONCE (namely about the Iraq war, during the 2016 GOP primary debates) and that was enough to show the GOP base what horrible liars their own politicians have always been. That increased the cynicism of GOP voters to a totally new level, a level that was perfect for neofascists to exploit...

McConnell was one of those neocons. Johnson never was a neocon, he's just an empty suits lying and caving to whomever dictates him what to do next. That's definitely a whole new level of corrupt, immoral behavior, compared to McConnell...

2026 BLUE ALL THE WAY!!!

Yes this all started with the gop when Reagan was in ...laying the ground work for their white world with no people who are different....pretty obvious when Obama was president....if Obama had done ANYTHING like what the 34x CONVICTED FELON HAS DONE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED ON THE SPOT!!! So yea here we are fighting the criminality the lies and all the DEIs he's hired... DIDN'T EARN IT!!! Apologies but I'm so upset and frustrated at the idiocy of people who STILL support him....until it affects them....but then again you can't fix STUPID!!!

I wonder if 70+ million US citizens and a million or two immigrants can sue Trump for the emotional distress he has caused us.

If I remember right the immunity only applies to criminal acts in the line of duty and doesn't not protect Trump from civil suites.

So millions of us can file a civil suite for pain and suffering caused by Trump and his stupid tariff games and threats against our freedoms and democracy

I seriously wish the courts would hit him with serious sanctions for making absolutely frivolous claims. Mental distress? The man has been in mental decline for a long time and anyone with ears knows it. This filing is grounds for the 25th Amendment if Trump had a legitimate cabinet and not a bunch of sycophants from Fox News who will laugh at his is every insult.

We seriously need a good lawyer to help all Americans who have deep anxiety, fear for our safety in health and worry for war due to Trump’s tearing our Country, freedoms, our gov our way of life apart daily he’s has caused nothing but misery chaos and hate.

There must be a way Americans can help stop this maniac. Our credit rating has dropped. Our trust and global eyes have caused America to become a pariah countries that trusted us have turned to others. That’s not a good feeling after we lost millions of Americans fighting for our freedoms. We have some sociopath pathetic week Minded week at every corner of society he has destroyed and it’s continuing because we have no Republicans that will do a damn thing cause I think more than half are all happy to take money from musk because guarantee you he’s paid these people to be quiet specially anyone from Texas if you listen to Comer, he doesn’t even know what’s in bill that just passed. They all Pathetic as you can see Americans can’t trust the supreme Court to follow the rule of any longer. They’re allowing DJT to do whatever he wishes at least three have been paid off. They’re all pathetic. They were allow suffering to go on in our country to appease a man that is literally a maniac who enjoys violence upon others, but if the violence comes to him he’ll be the one underneath the desk hiding.

Why are Americans allowing this to go on? We all should be out on street demanding Re republicans and or cabinet to an act of 25th amendment or literally throw him out of the office we must do something before he destroys everything. This country has worked so hard to have to become look at how other countries are looking at us all because malignant narcissistic pathetic sociopath needs to feed his ego steal billions of $$ from the American people, taking bribes from Pathetic people who stole from other all to get of their just punishment that was handed down to them by a judge or a jury of their peers so they get out of not paying the people they literally stole from it’s pathetic. Shame on all who voted for this evil behavior because I don’t of another human that has hurt, or PREYED upon others like his administration.

Back to the question can we get a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit against Trump administration for our mental anxieties, for fear of freedom of speech for Elder abuse by cutting Medicaid funding as well taking Americans private data they had no right to. Cutting and closing Social Security offices take our private info without written consent & has caused Americans who sign up for this class action lawsuit. What lawyer will take on this for Americans?

If Congress (both sides) refuse to come together to get rid of this clown and his cohorts I don't see anything changing any time soon. He has ignored and even flouted the rule of law, ignoring court orders and swooping people up off the streets without due process and still, Congress is silent. There should be a special election right now to remove 45 from office. And there needs to be a call for civil conversation and a coming together for the good of this country. There is more that united us than divides us.

Someone needs to use his “serious mental anguish” as the basis for why he is unfit to hold the job of the US President. My point is if his anguish is worth 20 Billion dollars, I mean it must be a serious ailment which is preventing him from performing his duties in accordance with the law. If he was upholding his duties in accordance to the constitution law then he wouldn't be losing court cases because he has overreached his powers. His mental anguish must be very debilitating for him not to be able to know the difference between what is constitutionally legal and what is not. In my opinion if his mental anguish is so debilitating that it requires 20 Billion dollars of restitution then he is not fit for the office of the Presidency because he is not in the right state of mind to hold the seat as the US Presidential. Well at least that's my train of thought, but I'm not a doctor and I'm certainly not a lawyer...🤔

He and his billionaire oligarchs/corporations/GOP congressmen and women will go down in history as the regime that destroyed American democracy, constitution and rule of law!!! That will be their descendents shameful burden!!! This congress is full of GOP enablers. They are too wrapped up in padding their own pockets too abide by their constitutional oath to protect us against regimes and kleptocrats,authoritarians like DJT and his oligarchs. They are enablers!!!! I wish I had the means and ability to leave the country. I am 75 yrs old and never thought I would see this in my lifetime!! The republicans have worked for years to attack education and healthcare. They know the only way a democracy can survive and thrive is to have a healthy well educated population. Their sick and greedy goals are being realized. While we all suffer, the middleclass, poor,disabled, uneducated, aged, veterans, immigrants and children are hurt the most! We are turning into a banana republic, hated by the rest of the world. Our economy is failing, interest rates are up, inflation is up, prices are soaring, healthcare is no longer the best in the world, businesses are laying off/closing, we have poverty level wages, high taxes(except for the rich who pay 0), freedom of speech and press are being attacked, scientific research is being stopped, billions of taxpayer dollars wasted on golf trips,sports events,parties for DJT/rich oligarchs and our executive branch and GOP legislative branch!! MOST CORRUPT REGIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY. I weep for the future(or lack there of) of my kids and grandkids and all hardworking Americans!! It is not a bright future!!
