The president of the United States, Donald Trump, seems to continually show tendencies of narcissism, a mental illness.
Every week, he makes statements and/or takes actions that do not make sense or he cannot prove with facts.
Every week, he seems to make irrational decisions.
So far, none of these acts has had a long-term effect on the stability of the United States.
My fear is that soon, he will make a decision, not based on any fact, that will permanently hurt our country.
He is the president and does not have to ask anyone when he decides to make a first attack.
I know other presidents have made use of this power, but this president has not instilled any confidence about his critical decision-making to be allowed to make this kind of military decision.
I feel we are in unbelievable danger when our president, with what I believe is a mental illness, can decide when he wants to wage war.
We need this man either removed as president, or he needs to be controlled by government.
Donald Trump cannot continue to be president.
We, as a great, leading nation, cannot allow this mentally ill person to continue to be in office.
