On January 29, long time White House media reporter Howard Kurtz will release his new book, “Media Madness: Donald Trump, The Press, And The War Over The Truth.” The overall theme comes from White House aides who describe the erratic manner in which Trump disseminates information and instructions as “Defiance Disorder.” The term comes from Trump’s penchant for doing exactly what his advisers tell him not to do, and then watching as they are forced to clean up his mess. This must be why Trump employs so many spin doctors, otherwise known as paid liars.

One example printed in the Washington Post reveals another disaster created by another Trump tweet. As then Chief of Staff Reince Priebus was leaving to discuss four options about how to address transgender men and women in the military, Trump tweeted a statement that he was banning service by the entire group. Priebus remarked; “Oh my God he just tweeted this,” according to the Kurtz book.

In another incident, Trump tweeted that President Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower. Priebus knew that it was up to him to insure that the White House staff fell in line and protected their boss, although he knew that it was unrealistic.

Was Dr. Jackson telling the truth about his claim that Trump passed a basic cognitive test? We know he was lying about Trump’s height and weight.

Trump is undoubtedly mentally deranged. His temper tantrums and inability to focus on necessary tasks are all the proof required to demand a complete psychiatric evaluation. The other fact is that Trump is obese. Even if he does weigh 239 pounds; at six-feet-two-inches he is in the obese range not simply overweight.

This is all the result of Trump’s desire for power and notoriety. When he became the illegitimate president, he allowed his entire past and his mental and physical conditions to be fair game for the media.

The sad thing is that even if Trump is removed from office, Mike Pence will be no better. The fact that he is a religious extremist and homophobic disqualifies him from representing all of the American people.

With every passing day the 2018 midterms on November 6^th become more important. Please vote and save America.
