      Trump has a lot that seems might be wrong with him, but schizophrenia never really seemed to be on the list. Narcissism, dementia, psycho-/socio-pathy, compulsive lying, and possibly more, but I’ve never gotten the feeling he displayed the hyperpatternicity I associate with schizophrenia.

        Honestly he sounds like just about every old man I’ve ever met, rambling on about whatever nonsense is running through his head at any given moment.

          That’s unfortunate. Most octogenarians I’ve met are far more thoughtful and kind than Trump has ever been.

        Sigh…at least Apple is getting screwed over though. They’ve been impeding right to repair for a long time, perhaps their karmic debt is finally catching up to them.

          This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

        It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.

          They don’t hate people with disabilities, they just don’t want them to be President.

            That’s ableist though. Implies disabled people are inherently inferior if you don’t want them to be president.

            Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.

            (Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all so don’t feel like glorifying them).

              We’re not talking about “disabled people”, we’re talking about people with mental illness that impairs them.

              Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.

              Physical disability is absolutely not be the same thing. Would you vote fuckin Ted Bundy for President?

              Okay so just complete anarchy then? Everyone for themselves?

              Airline pilots and train drivers must be passed as mentally fit before they’re allowed to control the destiny of a few thousand people.

              Perhaps at least that much care could be taken with the job that holds the ability to launch nuclear weapons.

        You’re right. There’s absolutely no evidence of Trump being not of sound mind.
