Donald Trump is often referred to being a man-boy. Essentially, he is considered by many as being emotionally a child. Some have said that he reminds them of an eight-year-old school yard bully. He continually fabricates the truth and will say one thing in the moment, only to reverse himself in what he is saying in the next.
Cognitively his thoughts are often poorly formulated and are incoherent. His expression of himself in conversation is likewise often incoherent and rambling. This has become more evident, by those who have worked with him, over the past four years.
His ability to understand the cause-and-effect relationship between what he thinks and the consequence of acting out his thoughts is not available to him. His statement during the COVID Pandemic, when testing was beginning to be used more frequently and the cases of COVID were steadily increasing, Trump stated at a press conference that we need to stop testing. He stated that the more we tested, that the more cases we would find in the population. He ‘reasoned’ that if we stopped testing, the number of cases would decline. This is not the level of cognitive functioning that is required of someone who resides in the Oval Office.
Another one of Trump’s assertions was that that Mexico would build a wall that would keep people out of the United States and pay for that wall. Mexico had no intention of building that wall or paying for it.
More recently, Trump expressed the idea that the United States, in addition of relocating immigrants from the United States, would take over Gaza, relocate a million and a half Palestinians and make it into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East.’ Again his inability to see that the consequence of such a plan would be totally prohibitive for the United States, was evident. Transforming a moon scape into an ocean front paradise would involve removing bombed out buildings and rebuilding an area of 140 square miles. The time and cost for such an enterprise would be staggering. His idea of ‘owning’ Gaza, sending 10,000 troops into the area, is in marked contrast to his expressing his belief that the United States should absent itself from
Global involvement and become more isolated from world affairs like Ukraine and the Paris Climate Control decision making process. And the negative outcry from those states in the area about the United States becoming a fixture in the region, again, demonstrated Trump’s absence of thinking through the consequence of his thinking.
Trump has a thought, expresses that thought and totally disregards the reality of the consequences of what he is proposing.
When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what he thought about Trump’s proposal to level and rebuild 140 square miles of Gaza, his response what that ‘President Trump thinking is on a different level.’
In truth, Trump continually expresses delusional thinking. Such delusional thinking is dangerous and has no place in the Oval Office. If we string together Trump’s actions that should have disqualified him from even running for the Presidency, an act of trying to overthrow the government on January 6th; his encouraging his Oath Keepers and Proud Boys to exact retribution on those who oppose his will and words, such encouragement to do harm to those who disagree with him is illegal and should have landed him in jail.
Trump is clearly unfit for office. He is a danger to our national security. His actions prior to his 2025 run for office should have disqualified from running for office in the first place. His delusional thinking about Gaza should be enough to remove him from Office.
