Title: New Leaks From White House
Post by mothra on Feb 10th, 2017 at 7:23pm
New Leaks From White House Staff Tell Us Trump Is Mentally Unwell – Get Ready


The Trump White House is turning on the commander-in-chief and finally telling the world how they really feel.

Leaks from the White House have come out in full force to The Huffington Post and they must be taken extremely seriously. White House and executive agency staff have shared, under the condition of anonymity, that they have profound concerns about Trump’s mental health and are of the belief he is unfit for office.

Trump’s volatile, petty, and petulant behavior is persisting and perhaps growing, as he expands his impulsiveness into decisions that mean life or death for many who serve under him. People around Trump are becoming increasingly concerned about his conduct and believe that concerns about his mental state during the campaign were quite accurate.

Donald Trump firstly can’t make properly informed decisions, according to a White House aide. It was claimed that Trump’s briefing materials must be “no more than a single page…They must have bullet points but not more than nine per page.” The President has previously said he did not like to read long memos, but likely no one believed he would require his briefings in a summary format.

There are also questions about his temperament. While this is a common topic of conversation outside of the White House, to have White House and executive agency staff mentioning it is frightening. He is obsessed with his image and media coverage and writes Saturday Night Live viewings and his staffer’s interviews into his schedule. He has claimed a fascination with the phone system inside the White House, but has filed a formal complaint to obtain softer hand towels for Air Force One. These are just some of the examples provided which tell us that tiny things provoke him to emotional extremes. He fluctuates between “great joy or …intense irritation” due to things as minuscule as the softness of hand towels.

Trump supporters who voted for Donald Trump because they believed he was a good, decisive business man are apt to find themselves at a loss. He had a pretty “yuge” question pertaining to the American dollar and didn’t know who to turn to. So instead of the hundreds of people around him with backgrounds in economics and finances, he called his national security advisor, Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn. Allegedly the phone call took place at 3 a.m. and Trump’s burning question was whether it is “a strong [dollar] that’s good for the economy…or a weak one?” Flynn allegedly told Trump that he ought to ask someone else, as it wasn’t his area of expertise, which displeased Trump greatly.

Only former White House staff were able to speak and be identified publicly in association with their statements which seek to define the issues with Trump and identify the cause of the leaks. One of these examples is Elliot Cohen, former State Department under George W. Bush who now works at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. He asserted that:

‘I’ve been in this town for 26 years. I have never seen anything like this. I genuinely do not think this is a mentally healthy president.’

Cohen believes, like many, that the problem is not those who are leaking information, but the president. He referenced the diagnosis provided by Johns Hopkins’ top psychotherapist: that Trump is mentally ill and is plagued with “malignant narcissism.” Cohen wrote:

‘This is what happens when you have a narcissist as president.’

Counterterrorism expert, Elizabeth Rosenberg who worked in the Treasury Department under President Obama has a theory for why the leaks are happening. She states that she believes “it’s a cry for help” by staff who are driven by “incredulity and the need to share it.”

According to Rick Wilson, a former Pentagon official and now vocal Trump critic claims that the intelligence community is concerned and scrambling for any means to seize back control. He wrote:

‘The intelligence community is desperately looking for a way to get some leverage in altering dangerous policies away from a catastrophic vector.’

Finally, Richard Nephew, a state department expert on Iran sanctions under Obama, suggested the possibility they are coming from a place of trying to retain their good standing with the public. They want the public to know that the advice of those around Trump hasn’t been followed so that if anything bad happens, they are not held responsible for him.

‘This, I think, is about making it clear that these folks have tried to do the right thing and there is only so much they can do with a hostile administration.’

At this rate, assuming the country continues to validate the concerns of those leaking this information, it is not an impossibility for Trump to not finish his term and be facing impeachment. We only hope it happens sooner rather than later.

I am sure you know that when you post links like this that once we go there we can also explore other stories on their site. The bipartisan report is one of the most bias and politically self serving groups I have found in a long time. Every story is one sided opinion, not news. The "Weekly World News" was a much more intellectually honest publication than this!



Why does anyone still believe that Huffpo is news?

Trumps days are numbered. He is clearly mentally ill and unfit to serve. There are a handful of ways to get rid of him and congress is probably already investigating some of them. The man is a buffoon and a dangerous narcisist.

and the stock market has started dropping as has the US dollar.  Even the trump supporters themselves are starting to question this clown's sanity.

Nope, the Stock Market continues to rise and it still takes about 77 cents to buy an Australian dollar. Be happy it isn't still 50 cents to your dollar.

Normal people are absolutely exhausted from the freak shows of the last eight years. The double standards about everything needs to stop, Fake leaks and planted ones will expose those trying to undermine this Presidency. When the leaders of these protests are identified it will show that the same people go from State to State inciting the weak minded to Riot and it is all funded by the same organizations.

The American people and the people alone elected Trump against the power of the Global Elites. If he is successful as President the wealth of individual Americans will grow and the power of the Elite over the lives of people will diminish.

Trump's mental illness is all over the internet as a major topic in news and forums. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Trump is incompetent as all his Republican and Democrat opponents claimed.

He is also mentally ill and it now appears he won't survive his first year in office.

In fact it is possible he might not last 100 days.

New bill would require Donald Trump's White House to hire a psychiatrist amid fears for President's mental health
'If there are questions about the mental health of the president of the United States, what may be the best way to get the president treatment?'

'Should he get mental health exam?' congressman Ted Lieu asked about the President
A Democratic congressman has said he plans to file a bill to require the White House to hire an in-house psychiatrist for Donald Trump.

“I’m looking at it from the perspective of, if there are questions about the mental health of the president of the United States, what may be the best way to get the president treatment?” California's representative Ted Lieu told The Huffington Post.

Mr Lieu added: “We’re now in the 21st century. Mental health is just as important as physical health."

He said he was planning to introduce the legislation early next week.

Donald Trump falsely claims US murder rate is at 47-year high
In 1928, Congress passed a law requiring a physician in the White House, but the law stopped short of calling for a psychiatrist because of the stigma around mental health issues at the time.

Last week, Mr Lieu criticised Mr Trump for his tweets attacking the New York Times and defending his executive order on immigration, which banned people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.

"Last 24 hrs on Twitter, Donald Trump went on rant about 'death & destruction,' 'FAKE NEWS,' & 'evil.' Should he get mental health exam?" Mr Lieu tweeted.

In his Huffington Post interview, he said "it is not normal" for the president "to write about death and destruction and fake news and evil."

Donald Trump ‘veering off topic during calls with foreign leaders'
Donald Trump says his travel ban was written 'perfectly'
Trumps using the White House like the Kardashians used reality TV
He added: “His disconnection from the truth is incredibly disturbing.

"When you add on top of that his stifling of dissent, his attacks on the free press and his attacks on the legitimacy of judiciary, that then takes us down the road toward authoritarianism.

"That’s why I’ve concluded he is a danger to the republic.”

Anyone elected President and starts doing what he said he would do while campaigning must be mental.  Everyone knows you promise anything to get elected and then once in Office show yourself to be a self serving liar! Imagine a man that actually wants his Nation to be the best it can be.

No no, imagine a president who wants his wife and daughter's underware and accessories brands to be the best they can be (or at least selling, as he promised them their brands would once he made president). Imagine a president who wants his real estate empire to be the best it can be, with his son running it and his foreign policy decisions (like policy on Taiwan) dictated by potential hotel and golf course developments. Imagine a president who wants the foreign dictator Vladimir Putin to be the best he can be because Putin has dirty photos with said president jerking off in a raincoat in a Moscow hotel room.

Once you've imagined all that, imagine a man that actually wants his nation to be the best it can be.

Difficult, isn't it?

Trump's family Tweet about their sponsored products while they're in White House meetings, Mort. In the same way the Beverly Hillbillies saw swimming pools as ce-ment ponds, the Trump family see government as a branding exercise.

Just listen to Melania's case against the Daily Mail. She's suing them because their alleged slur to her reputation could cost her millions in the product endorsement fees and branding opportunities that "come with being the most photographed woman in the world".

This is how she sees the role of First Lady. Imagine how they see the role of president.

Money for jam, innit, Jethro.

You know it was about 72 cents when he was elected and it is only the promise of unaffordable tax cuts that is holding it all together economically.

The reality of the same tax cuts passed by their senate or not will be the same, a disaster.

They either loose the optimism temporarily holding it together or their governments income and the record deficits and a crashed economy that has to follow.

Coming out of the White House sieve (god I hope it's true, if only for its comedic value)...

A peculiar phenomenon about narcissists is their unwitting capacity for comedy... They don't know it and they would deny it, but they are quintessential 'funny guys', not least because they take themselves so seriously, are so easily offended, have almost no capacity for introspection and no comprehension of how their clear comedic stupidity plays out in another person's mind...

[olist]WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump was confused about the dollar: Was it a strong one that’s good for the economy? Or a weak one?

So he made a call ― except not to any of the business leaders Trump brought into his administration or even to an old friend from his days in real estate. Instead, he called his national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, according to two sources familiar with Flynn’s accounts of the incident. Flynn has a long record in counterintelligence but not in macroeconomics. And he told Trump he didn’t know, that it wasn’t his area of expertise, that, perhaps, Trump should ask an economist instead.
