I do not read comments about my writing, I don’t care what other people say about me or the facts I offer to my readers. I have no need to defend myself or to revel in praise. Any man or woman who speaks his or her truth without censoring his or her beliefs has no need to make claims about his or her character or abilities.

Donald Trump proved this weekend that he is definitely not a ‘genius,’ or that he is ‘really smart.’ He offered proof the the consensus offered in a book that he is ‘a child’ were in fact accurate. He also validated other claims made by multiple individuals in Michael Wolff’s ‘tell all’ book. If Trump truly believed that the book was ‘fantasy,’ he should have ignored it and simply denied its existence. The problem is that Trump knows it is based on fact, and that he is indeed unfit to be the President of the United States.

Along with 56 prominent psychiatrists, I claimed that Trump displayed multiple symptoms of schizophrenia about one year ago. This may be combined with dementia. His inability to focus on our nation’s most serious problems, and his need to defend himself against even the most minor of criticisms are clear signs of a weak mental state.

We know that many of the claims in the book are true. Multiple sources from inside the White House have confirmed that Trump does not read, has an attention span of just minutes unless he sees his own name mentioned frequently, and watches Fox Noise for all of his information; often screaming at the television when something with which he disagrees appears on the screen.

If we ignore this entire story, he remains unqualified to lead our nation. He has refused to learn about the workings of government, and has acted more like a ‘king,’ than a legitimately elected president. He refusal to include Democrats in the legislative process is unforgivable and tantamount to fascism, not democracy.

Please help me keep America informed; thank you.
