Chaos

Spittle leaps from his lips. Nasty words vomit from his mouth. Swagger approaching the podium. Facial sneers and snarling mouth. Agitated body language.


This is the presence of a despot, propagandist, pot stirrer.


And yes, this is the supposed president of the United States.


He may occupy the White House, but he isn’t a person of trust, knowledge, judgment or temperament of a leader. He is a thug and bully. He is the embodiment of a crime boss.


I don’t care what he thinks of baseball, the MLB, or the NFL. I couldn’t care less about his opinion on women’s wear, or the outcome of a prize fight. But we do know, don’t we? He shares his opinion on unimportant matters via tweet.


Of course we hear his tweeted messages on matters of global importance, too. To him it is one and the same.


And his nasty, personal opinions of those he does not agree with him. He denigrates those folks. Nasty personality. Nasty mindset. Potty mouth. Disagreeable.


We were told by behavioral experts these were the signs of a narcissist. We didn’t listen. But those experts were right on target. Now we know.


We also know that chaos in financial markets, international trade markets, energy markets, military expeditions and deaths of innocents abroad are a mark of a narcissist. His personality is a behavioral disorder. His actions are a disaster.


He is a clear and present danger to himself, his fellow citizens and to the nation at large.


We have a Constitutional process available to address this problem. It is quick, surgical and effective. It is not impeachment. That approach is cumbersome and politically charged. The 25^th Amendment to the Constitution is available.


Why is it not in use?
