Trump says White House shouldn’t work with governors who criticize him

There's an article in the New Yorker right now, about Trump wanting to throw a parade to celebrate how good of a job he's doing dealing with the coronavirus. I was reading it on my phone and for a minute it had me going because I didn't pay attention to who wrote the article. It's really sad that it's getting harder and harder to distinguish a satirical article about Trump from real news.

You're not wrong about the satire problem; the actual news was that he wants the stimulus checks to have his signature on them, so honestly a parade isn't too much of a stretch.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:11 pm There's an article in the New Yorker right now, about Trump wanting to throw a parade to celebrate how good of a job he's doing dealing with the coronavirus.

LOL! Nothing is beneath him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does try to throw himself a parade once the pandemic starts to subside. Satire is just an exaggerated humorous version of the truth. Remember the 4th of July parade last year? Smh ...

I'm going to start by saying I'm a non-political Canadian. But as a human being living in a border city, I can't help but have opinions about the president of the United States.
I read the article, and his words are alarming. I work in the field of mental health and deal with a plethora of personality disorders. I hate to say it, but this man is clearly suffering with NPD and his people are suffering as a result. And again, this is not a character assassination based on political views, this is a non partial observation of human behaviour.
What caught my attention right away was how he referred to the Governer of Washington as "Governer" where as he called the Governer of Michigan "woman". Now, this is clearly not a derogatory term, but it's telling that he sees a man by his job title, but he sees a woman by her gender. And I don't think I have to dig up quotes to remind everyone how Trump views women.
So right off the bat, he shows a lack of respect. Then he goes on to say that Pence shouldn't even speak about aid with the heads of state that don't agree with him. That's tantamount to denying your children food because their other parent said something that hurt your feelings. The only parent who would do something that sinister is one with a dangerous personality disorder (such as NPD).
The scary thing is, his actions don't just effect his country, they effect the world. I don't know much about how the AMerican political system works, but I certainly hope there's a protocol that can be implemented to prevent Trump from decimating his country.

The 25th Amendment to the Constitution provides a process to remove a president from office if he is unfit to serve. It's never been used.

I know it was jokingly brought up before, but I think people are seriously considering it now.

I don't think he was quite happy with it. He didn't get his parade of tanks and none of his Trumpkins could see them either because they were fenced off. And nobody but him and his 'special guests' sitting up on the dais got to see the fireworks. And it rained and a lot of people left before the fireworks and those that stayed only saw smoke. Lol. Karma was in rare form that day!
