I don't find anything scary about it at all. After reading the entire article, we get to the crux of it at the bottom:

I am not a medical professional, and I will not pretend to know what is truly happening here. It’s become a common conversation topic in Washington to muse on whether the president is suffering from some form of cognitive decline or psychological malady. I don’t think those hypotheses are necessary or meaningful. Whatever the cause, it is plainly obvious from Trump’s words that this is not a man fit to be president, that he is not well or capable in some fundamental way. That is an uncomfortable thing to say, and so many prefer not to say it, but Trump does not occupy a job where such deficiencies can be safely ignored.

the author is explicitly stating here that Trump is not necessarily in cognitive decline, but just plainly unfit for the job, which I absolutely agree with. I think he has a fundamental misunderstanding about his role and how it is defined (i.e: not a dictator). he spews rhetoric about how he has done this or done that and who said this and who said that, in my opinion, not necessarily because he doesn't understand the reality, but he knows his base doesn't care to do the actual research, that they just lap up what he says as fact. or maybe he is so narcissistic, it is possible he believes the nonsense he says. but that's not necessarily a mental illness. it represents not being fit to be president, but it doesn't make him mentally unstable. 

again, I find this is the same old stuff I've been reading here silently the past month. So many people keep saying Trump is this, Mueller is doing that, Russia is this, without providing a shred of evidence of any of it. it's all hopes that the man and his admin come crashing down, but it's all based on nothing but conjecture and dreaming. 

I hope he gets removed. I hope Pence does too. But I just think it's incredibly premature to be flying the crazy flag. or presenting ideas that "mueller is closing in" as some type of fact, when all it is, is someone reading an article about someone getting interviewed and all of a sudden they inflate that to mean Trump is being impeached next week. 

I guess we have different thresholds for scary. He is so incompetent and has so much power I find that very scary.

He could literally get us all killed.

I also find it scary, and I definitely think that interview proves that he is basically incoherent and babbling. I dunno HFD... Your standards for mental stability are a lot lower than mine, and I think I'm pretty open minded about it, lol.

I find him extremely scary as well. That interview was confirmation for me. This is a guy who is mostly incoherent. He contradicts himself. Contradicts his staff. Doesn't seem to trust anyone. Doesn't read. Is informed almost exclusively through Fox News broadcasts. Doesn't have the ability to formulate a concise, coherent message. He is a habitual liar, although I don't know if he realizes it. He is extremely narcissistic - everything is about him. He doesn't have the country's interest at heart, and is only motivated by kudos, accolades or ratings. He will flip on a position without explanation. He is completely devoid of empathy. I also wonder why he isn't able to drink a glass or bottle of water without both hands, and without needing to bring his mouth down to the glass. Tremors? Most of his inner circle seem to be uncomfortable with him: "fucking idiot", "fucking moron", "idiot", "dumb as shit", "dope", "An idiot surrounded by clowns", "kindergartner", "not only crazy, he's stupid". Those comments are from his team, not his enemies! lol. 
Anyway, as a president he is deplorable. As a person he is deplorable. There really isn't much good to say about him. Over the line quoted comment removed by Admin]  Until then, I just hope the country doesn't regress too dramatically.

interesting!

I think I just might have a higher threshold for judgment.
