Lawrence: Trump was 'on the verge of outright insanity' in deranged speech to military commanders

&t=188s

My words: Lawrence goes there. The photos of the Generals are startling in their ability to capture the stunning reality and horror of what they are watching. Lawrence is my hero. I hope he stays on the air after this show. Please watch. 14 min.

(I do listen to Keith Olbermann's podcast, and it pains me to hear him repeatedly go after LO. I know they had some tangles in the past, but damn, get over it.)

Although his malignant narcissism and sociopathy are textbook-level extreme, those are considered to be personality disorders, not mental illness. However, power psychosis is a mental illness caused by having too much unchecked power, characterized by delusions of grandeur and paranoid delusions of persecution that make it impossible to deal rationally with reality.

Trump's sole objective during Biden's term was to keep kicking the legal can down the road in order to stay out of prison.

And part of that gambit was demanding that the SCOTUS grant him "total immunity." When they complied, Trump was no longer "ON THE VERGE" of ANYTHING. He was off the rails, just like that opening scene in Harrison Ford's "The Fugitive" movie.

He does it by giving official power and duty to others
who are equally insane and stupid in different ways.

He's Caligula on steroids.

yesterday. It cost us millions for this shitshow so he and kegsbreath could threaten the generals, admirals and their staffs, because that threat was the whole point.

It was almost pathetically amusing to listen to him explain why he is so careful and slow on the stairs. Hated Obama for bounding, maligned Biden for not bounding. . and the military brass is sitting there stunned.

Lawrence is in a class by himself with the way he presents the truth about the insanity of the orange monster and the complete and utter capitulation and cowardice of the Republican Party. I wish more people in the media were like him, especially the newspapers and other news outlets.

None of the CRINGE-WORTHY Ari Melber stuff, where he's doing OK, then interjects rap lyrics to remind you that he's "street."

Tell it like it is because the bulk of our MSM has shirked its responsibility.

Donald J. Trump, the sitting President of the United States, is a raving lunatic.

I watched over a half hour of dumpie's speech yesterday, I thought he looked STONED on
something, his eyes were barely open just little slits. IMO he was STONED on something.

--If you can stand it. The spectacle of the demented Disaster in Chief and his manic wind up toy boy --scolding, insulting, threatening the top brass of the US military-- wow, amazing! And OMG the implications for the rest of us, and the world, if the military can be coerced to turn against US citizens. When will people face the fact that the criminally insane are driving this bus off a cliff?
