Remove Trump from office

President Donald Trump’s actions raises questions about his mental health. The powers-that-be need to remove him from office as soon as possible. The longer they delay, the worse it will be. Even now his departure would cause plenty of fire and flame.

Whatever he says, he believes to be true whether it’s real or not, whether there is proof or not. Remember the cries of voter fraud? He spoke. He believed. That made it true. Same is true about recent calls from the Boy Scout leadership and Mexico’s president. Trump spoke the words. Thus, they were true.

The pattern is obvious and unfortunate. How sad his base cannot see this.

Trump would rather criticize than support. His actions regarding the health care bill are perfect examples.

My father had this illness. I know it when I see it. When the real truth was revealed to Dad, he blew up and blamed any and everybody else. I’m seeing the patterns again and it hurts.

We cannot afford to have such a man leading our country.
