    How is that evidence of mental unfitness? It's not unusual for presidents not to read the entirety of the Presidential Daily Brief. Obama certainly never did, and he infamously skipped over half of the verbal briefings while in office, too.

      I think the cognitive abilities of Trumps supporters need be questioned as well, not necessarily because they support a cognitively impaired man, but because they support the cognitively impaired mans actions as President.

        Anyone who refuses to do things critical to his job performance, and then tells everyone how good of a job he's doing, is mentally unstable.

          Trump has the most and stablest brains ever! The best brains! Nobody has more brains than him.

            You should be sure to warm up first before stretching that far or you could risk injuring yourself.

              You not wanting to address what I wrote doesn't reflect a character flaw on my part.

              I suspect you knew this when you replied...

                    There is SO much wrong with that statement.

                    Good to see you, Jim.
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      Actually, there are other options.

                        Careful, or he'll accuse you of not wanting to address his point, and that really stings!

                          I'll try my best to keep a stiff upper lip.

                            As if politicians do not routinely lie about what exactly they knew or when they knew it to save face? That's not a conspiracy, that's just plain old lying.

                            Think of it this way: what's the best way to create plausible deniability in nearly everything? Don't ever have anyone send you anything in writing, and you don't send them anything in writing. Do everything face to face or over the phone, and then you can claim "so-and-so never told me that". Hillary Clinton seemed to structure the flow of information to herself in that manner (Benghazi, anyone?) and Trump does something similar. It's smart practice if you're a politician and willing to lie about nearly anything to save face.

                            "If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
