Is Trump sane?

[AGA]

Bloomberg suggested that Trump was not sane at the Democratic National Convention. Is he?

[Dr. Arch]

Pas de chance.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Hes crazier then a barn yard dog.

[Mr. Smith]

He's Einstein's definition to a T regarding business decisions.

[Senator-elect Spark]

Definitely not

[Dr. Arch]

Definitely not

But you support him?

[DINGO Joe]

If Trump were to kill someone, I don't think he'd be able to successfully use the insanity defense, but he's not sane enough to be President.

[andrew_c]

Absolutely not.

[Badger]

He's a grandiose narcissist willing to lie to himselves and others at the drop of a hat. But yes, sane.

[Xing]

He shows occasional moments of sanity.

[Illiniwek]

God no. Never.

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

Sane from a strictly legal point of view?  Certainly.

Could an armchair psychologist use the DSM to demonstrate he has at least two or three clinical mental illnesses?  Perhaps.

[Seriously?]

Of course Trump is sane. You don't get to where Trump is in business going in and out of mental hospitals. There is nothing in the record to suggest any sort of criminal insanity or acute mental illness on Trump's part to suggest that he is not sane.

He is more than capable of and employs rational thought. You red avatars just don't think the same way he does, so you attack with baseless, groundless accusations like "OMG Trump is insane!"

The only thing that is insane is this Alinsky-like ridicule from the left.

OK Seriously,
Maybe technically/legally, he is not "insane."
But I have been saying for some time now, that trump has a severe mental illness of narcissism.
Read the comment from Atlas member Harry Perkins, just 2 posts above this one (which is the post right above yours).
Would you at least agree that trump does have a moderate-to-severe case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder ?

[Holmes]

Pas de chance.

Aucune chance.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Clinically, he probably is, yes. Which makes him even scarier.

[Phony Moderate]

Most people who run for POTUS are not completely sane. But yeah, Trump less so than many.

[Ebowed]

I don't think anybody is saying that Donald Trump has gone to any mental hospitals.

There's a big qualifier here:

Folks who are serious candidates for President, even the Michelle Bachmanns and Dennis Kuciniches of the World, are far more "accomplished" than the average Joe.  This is certainly true of Trump, who has been in headlines constantly since the 1980s. 

Trump certainly has narcissistic personality traits, but if he qualifies for a Narcissistic Personality Disorder diagnosis, what, then, do we say about most of our political, business, military, and even religious "leaders"?  What do we say about JFK and Bill Clinton?  What do we say about LBJ and Nixon?

No. He’s mentally sick. And I even don’t say this as Hillary-supporter or as a joke. I’m serious. Here we have a dude, with deep seated psychological problems. I’m not a psychologist, but I suspect that something went wrong during his childhood or youth. My guess: Trump suffers from Inferiority complexes. He’s sick for attention and totally incapable to handle any criticism. Therefore he tries to create this image of a tough guy and genius and permanently seeks for affirmation. “I alone can solve the problems. I was 100% successful in business, I know more about terrorism than the generals,…”, no sane person says and means this. Time and time again. There’s something deeply wrong with this man and he should never be allowed to step into the presidency.

All the GOP candidates for President going back to World War II were politically disagreeable, but unquestionably sane (even Nixon during his paranoia bouts!). This guy Trump is mentally unstable
