    Don’t characterize him as insane. Characterize him and his ilk as calculated psychopaths. Do not let them get away with an insanity defense at the next Nuremberg Trials.

      Dementia, insanity and morally devoid are not mutually exclusive you can indeed be a demented psychopath who happens to be devoid of morality and potentially insane.

    If we stop thinking about what what he is doing from a “he thinks this good for the country” viewpoint and start thinking about it from a “he thinks this is good for Donald Trump” viewpoint it all makes sense.

      Being insane and dangerous aren’t mutually exclusive.

      The complete absence of accountability and the power he has makes his insanity more dangerous, not less.

    Insane? I don’t think so. I’d call him a dangerously self-centered narcissist. (The redundancy is intentional to stress the extreme amplitude of his self-serving attitude and behaviors)
