If only Hillary had "the mental and physical stamina" of Donald Trump








Trump: Clinton Lacks ‘Mental and Physical Stamina’ to Fight ISIS
by Josh Feldman | August 15th, 2016

“She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face, not only in terrorism but in trade and every other challenge we must confront.”

and other serious debilities that are being kept from the public.

Apparently the Hillary-deranged are also all excited by some phony story that she has to sit with a pillow behind her for lumbar support (photoshopped photos for proof) and has to be helped up steps.

They just get crazier and crazier.

Psychologists have found that over time people who demonize someone or some people in order to ramp emotions up from dislike to eventually hate become increasingly addicted to the pleasurable chemicals released with each indulgence.

So, chortling over doctored photos.

belief systems on lies, and their behavior toward the hated outsiders now shares many traits of psychopaths. That is, long ago most had some moral limits and drew lines not too far beyond those of "normal" society for what they would do to others, and these have mostly been erased. They're now sure the hated "others" deserve the worst and they have to protect themselves. "Lock her up!"

If asked a quarter century ago, most of the many millions affected would never have said this is who they wanted to be. This is a frightening national trend. We may have to institute some sensible bans on the propagation of blatant political and mass-movement lies and hate messages.

He's not crazy, untethered from reality. He sees it but just interprets and reacts to it very differently from most. Psychologists say people like him know they're different to some degree but like themselves and aren't interested in changing.

I'd love to know if his disorder's advancing with all the stress. People who say this isn't the old Donald have to be doing some major CYA for previously pretending this guy was normal, though, and these days we're seeing him in new different situations. Donald's in front of the cameras in new situations reacting to new events every day, and he's facing criticism like he couldn't imagine before.

As for his handlers "hiding" it, it seems unlikely that ever happened because he's an authoritarian who gives orders, he doesn't take them. And when in trouble, he's always doubled down on the behavior got him in trouble in the first place. Experts say criticizing narcissists almost always causes trouble.

In any case, look at old clips over the years, and it's the same old Donald. People in general just didn't understand how to interpret his odd behavior before.

On THAT subject, Florida voters just polled trust a DEMOCRATIC WOMAN more than a REPUBLICAN MAN to keep them safe from terrorists. Only 48-45%, but...that's yoooge!

Clinton endured 11 hours of relentless questioning by the House and made them look like idiots in the process. But, The Donald whines that a debate is too long if it goes for over 2 hours.

16. Desperate Trump Launches Misogynistic, Ageist Attack On Hillary
Fri Aug 19, 2016, 03:22 PM
Aug 2016

In a speech today in Youngstown, Ohio, Republican nominee Donald Trump explained some of his foreign and immigration policies. Amid paradoxical claims of opposing military intervention in Iraq and vowing to “aggressively pursue … military operations to crush ISIS,” Trump found time to add fuel to a recent anti-Hillary Clinton conspiracy. Right-wing propaganda factories like Fox News and Breitbart have been spreading baseless rumors that Democratic nominee Clinton is too sick to serve as president, referencing false, contrived “medical” opinions.

Trump said that Clinton, “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS. And all of the many adversaries that we face.” In the context of the past week, Trump is clearly trying to propagate desperate lies that have already been debunked. It’s not as if former Secretary Clinton would be literally fighting ISIS herself, and in any case, since Trump can’t handle any kind of investigative questioning from reporters, it’s hard to understand how he would have the mental stamina to conduct a military campaign.

The “Hillary’s health” conspiracy began when the internet found a photo of Clinton being helped a flight of icy steps in February after she slipped. It was quickly used as proof that Clinton cannot walk unaided, despite all evidence to the contrary, including her walking and even playing with balloons at the Democratic National Convention.

Breitbart’s report that suggests Clinton suffers from strokes, seizures, double vision, and traumatic brain injury among other ailments, is based on statements by “Doctor” Jane Orient, head of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).
