New York Daily News: Trump Is A Profoundly Unstable Madman And We Are Witnessing Signs Of His Mania

From the editorial board of the New York Daily News:

After his latest spasm of deranged tweets, only those completely under his spell can deny what growing numbers of Americans have long suspected: The President of the United States is profoundly unstable. He is mad. He is, by any honest layman’s definition, mentally unwell and viciously lashing out.

Some might say we are just suffering through the umpteenth canny, calculated presidential eruption designed to distract the nation from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, or perhaps from unpopular legislation working its way through Congress. Quite possible. But Occam’s razor, and the sheer strangeness of Trump’s behavior, leads us to conclude that we are witnessing signs of mania.

There was more. The President of the United States just casually accused a congressman-turned-TV-host of murder because an intern died in his Florida office in 2001. This is a day after North Korea fired what was, by all accounts, an ICBM. During a week when Congress is in the throes of delicate negotiations on taxes and the budget. And before our eyes, the President is spinning in a Tasmanian devil’s rage about American news networks.
