Trump is increasingly untethered from reality

I think that is true of his personality (unless he's a master of public persona--there are such people), but the actions he's making have complexity behind them. One might think all his tweets have been ramblings of a mad man, and i think that last barrage definitely appeared that way. But since he's been in office, his tweets have been making the stock market go up and down, sometimes from day to day. I'm a longtime investor and I've never seen anything like this. I can't escape the thought that either he or his family are benefitting from the market manipulation. I can't prove it. But it would be the ultimate insider trading scam, because with a single tweet the market moves in a certain direction.

So, I have to ask myself "am I wrong that he's a rambling mad man? Could it be that he's intentionally trying to crash the economy for some reason of personal gain?" It's a very real thing that politicians are serving their own pockets. Not all, but most. These questions should be asked and discussed.

If he is a mad man, is anyone with some power going to figure a way to stop him from leading us to us some bad places. All I can do is vote for the democrat, and speak out against him. What does a country do when the president is truly mad and have to wait to vote him out? Protest, speaking out. Supporting other candidates. But this man has his finger on the button, you know? It's complex.
