I heard the live interview with the author of this book on "Today" this morning, and Michael Wolff made a good defence of his legations.

Even if only half of them are true, then the Trump situation is worse than we thought.

Trump's behaviour has been cited as a subject of concern by over 100 professional psychiatrists. It's not hard to spot. The constant backstabbing, vitriol, lying, over reactions. Plus the huge number of accounts by ex-staffers (very few stay long) describing his deranged behaviour... he blatantly is not well. As for "policies" (as if he ever had any...

I didn't hear it all, Mikey, but I did hear Nick Robinson getting challenged by an American interviewee as to what he thought reporting was.

I enjoyed that.

As to your final point, yup. He'll be gone soon enough.
Hahaha.

Clearly the previous allegations and attempts to remove him have failed. The left are now embarking on attacking his mental health in desperation. I see also they attempted to silence him on twitter.

The Donald is clearly doing a good job given the hysteria from the left.

//Even if only half of them are true, then the Trump situation is worse than we thought. //

Jeez, get a life.
//As to your final point, yup. He'll be gone soon enough. //

Only if the democrats get their act together and start putting forward viable political arguments. Mud slinging, name calling and hysteria just push Trump supporters deeper into supporting him.

But then the left can never see that can they?
It's worse than we thought, it's spreading to Answerbank.
Bogster, it's nothing to do with 'the left', the man is an imbecile.
I've yet to see any hysteria.

Trump mental health have been questioned since day 1.
//I've yet to see any hysteria. //

You really need to go to spec savers.

//Bogster, it's nothing to do with 'the left', the man is an imbecile. //

Name calling doesnt work I see you manage to get two people with one sentence) Argue against his policies with viable alternatives or you wont get rid of him, You just dont get it do you.
Oh, okay Jared, apologies for blowing your cover.

Love to daddy in law.

Trump was clearly unsuitable for the job....not only that but he was unsuitable material to stand for POTUS on the first place, and that is down to the Republican Party itself. We can all remember the farce of the Primaries.

Wolff made a small point towards the end of his interview. He compared what had happened at the Election, to the plot of "The Producers".....if we remember the story line there, the stage show was set up to fail, but to make the producers shed loads of money in the process.

Wolff maintains, and I agree with him, that nobody was more surprised by the result on the night as Trump was.
I have said from the start of his candidacy that it started as a joke, the equivalent to the drunken New Years Eve 'decisions' to 'climb Kilimanjaro' , 'go to Glastonbury; etc., but most people sober up and forget it, Trump didn't. I don't think for one second that he expected to be elected at the beginning but then his ego took over.
Yes Dougie, I'll pass it on.

//Wolff maintains, and I agree with him, that nobody was more surprised by the result on the night as Trump was./

Yup cant disagree with that but how does that mean he is mentally unstable?

The problem is I think many, epsecially the MSM, are misinterpreting Trumps actions. The man is far from stupid, you dont make that much money ( a couple of times over) if you are stupid or mentally unstable. He is playing the Democrats because whilst all these rediculous things are happening no one is looking at the real political issues.

Of course, part of the problem is that the US economy is doing well at the present and Trumps 'putting the US first' is clearly very popular since they have far more National pride than we are allowed here.

Like I say, if you want to stop him wining the next election the Democrats need to dump the Clintons and come up with a viable alternative - and stop the childish accusations and name calling.
mikey; Wolff maintains, and I agree with him, that nobody was more surprised by the result on the night as Trump was.

Absolute baloney! Yougov and the Economist had him as high as 48% why should he - or anyone, have been surprised?

YMB.....one of the more interesting aspects of Wolff's book is that he points out Trumps growing tendency to repeat himself, sometimes many times within 10 mins, as evidence that some kind of dementia is evident.

But look at the language that Trumps uses....these are not the words and phrases that we expect any educated person too use.
Trump's behaviour has been cited as a subject of concern by over 100 professional psychiatrists. It's not hard to spot. The constant backstabbing, vitriol, lying, over reactions. Plus the huge number of accounts by ex-staffers (very few stay long) describing his deranged behaviour... he blatantly is not well.

As for "policies" (as if he ever had any serious ones):

- His "tax reform" was a shockingly poorly implemented piece of corrupt legislation designed specifically in order to further enrich him and his friends.

- His "repeal and replace" attitude to Obamacare is a joke.

- His ridiculous fantasy of a border wall is no closer to realisation since day 1, and never will be.

- His foreign policy is incoherent and just seems to be based on his violent mood swings.

- His withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is a shameful and ignorant action that diminishes American stature and influence and weakens efforts against climate change. It is also grounded in ignorance of the issue.

But Trump never really campaigned on "policies" in any meaningful sense. He just campaigned on meaningless slogans like "America first" and on sticking it to the man in Washington. Even by usual political standards, he made promises that were blatantly impossible or in some cases actually contradictory. He has always been an obvious conman. None of this should be surprising.
Trump seems to be doing a good job,

from sky news business

\\On Wall Street, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq and the Dow Jones Industrial Average are all trading at all-time highs.//


bbc business

\\On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in America pushed through 25,000 for the first time in its history.//

Like Brexit we were told the 4 horsemen would arrive if Donald Trump was elected, and im still waiting for all the famous lefties that said they would leave for Canada if Trump won to go.

Perhaps the mental health of a dodery old man that promises free stuff to kids should be looked at.
//you dont make that much money ( a couple of times over) if you are stupid or mentally unstable//

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. It would be great if wealth selected exclusively for the most talented and intelligent in society, but it simply doesn't. Trump inherited a huge property empire at a time when property prices were increasing. Had he done absolutely nothing, he would be approximately as rich as he is now. He is a member of a de facto nobility which exists on vast sums of family/inherited wealth.
//one of the more interesting aspects of Wolff's book is that he points out Trumps growing tendency to repeat himself, sometimes many times within 10 mins, as evidence that some kind of dementia is evident. //

Haha.....now that is funny.........when the source is taken into account.
Sound like a self appraisal :))
//In a television interview on Friday, Wolff said "100% of the people" around Mr Trump questioned his fitness for office.//

//US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says he has never doubted President Trump's mental health//

So not 100% then.

Paranoid obsession is, I believe, a likely sign of failing mental health.
Kromo; //His withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is a shameful and ignorant action that diminishes American stature and influence and weakens efforts against climate change. It is also grounded in ignorance of the issue.//

The 'Paris Agreement' was farce and Trump did the sensible thing. To save space on this thread look here as to why;
