Donald Trump made it clear once again on Wednesday that he is a sociopath. Failing to point that out is a dereliction of duty on the part of the media.

— NAVIGATING THE INSANITY* —
Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows on Wednesday when she strongly hinted that a “storm would be coming to America” if she lost the election, suggested that a public military tribunal would be needed to put Donald Trump in an orange jumpsuit for stealing classified documents and staging a coup, retweeted the motto of Violent Idiots for Harris, and stated that affairs with porn stars/ prostitutes affected the careers of Trump and actor Hugh Grant differently.
Do we have your attention? That would be crazy, right?
Speaking of crazy, none of these things happened because Harris is not nuts.
Trump, however, is… and he posted all of the above on social media in a span of a few hours, which impressively showed that he has completely gone off the deep end and that anybody still supporting him should take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask themselves why they are enabling a mentally ill man with a messiah complex and a desire for revenge.
On Sunday, we wrote that the only outcome in this year’s election that would at all be acceptable (and guarantee that the United States continues to function) would be a resounding Trump loss that would not give him an opportunity to stage another coup.
On Wednesday, he impressively proved us right when he “retruthed” posts suggesting that a military tribunal for Barack Obama is needed, depicted some of his political enemies in prison, called for the indictment of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 insurrection, amplified the Qanon motto, and shared a post involving oral sex.
There are times when Trump’s insanity, his pathological need for attention and superlatives, and his sheer stupidity can make one chuckle.
This isn’t that time.
The closer he gets to losing the election, the crazier he will get. And the crazier he will get, the more of a threat he constitutes to the entire world.
If you look at the series of more than two dozen “retruths,” you will see that quite a few of them have (veiled and not-so-veiled) undertones of violence and retribution.
And it is as crazy as Trump that the media is not making a bigger deal out of this.
The Associated Press had a story on the former president’s social media spree, but, for the most part, major news outlets are either ignoring his troubling psychopathy or they are downplaying it.
But this is not the time for anybody to sit on the sidelines.
There are only two possible outcomes on November 5: Either Trump gets routed at the ballot box, or he will tear the country apart at all costs to save his own neck.
The media has to understand this, and the American people have to understand it.
And if they have any kind of doubts as to what kind of a danger Trump poses, and of how severely mentally ill he is, they should stop by Truth Social and see for themselves.
And then they should ask themselves: If any other person acted in this way, what would they think of them, and what would they do in response?
This isn’t an election about policy differences. If you have a problem with the things Kamala Harris wants to do, then regroup, find a sane candidate, and beat her in four years.
This is about something much bigger than that… it’s about whether a complete sociopath should run the United States.
