He actually thinks that when immigrants seek asylum here in the US, they

are from mental asylums. From his whatever that was today: "People from mental institutions and insane asylums. You know what that is? Insane asylum, that's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign I'd talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter."

Still waiting on the NYT headlines about his cognitive ability. Or at least for someone to ask him what in the hell he is talking about.

I mean come on! He's was actually boasting about how well he did!

He thought a simple test to see if he's got dementia or other cognitive decline proves he's a genius!

The fact that he mistook a dementia test for an iq test is proof that something is seriously messed up in this dude's head.


Even back to that Hillary debate. "No puppet! No puppet! You're the puppet!" was the most juvenile, stupid comeback ever. What normal adult reacts that way?

His constant stream of admirers who praise him with tears in their eyes and call him "sir".

The man is loony toons, but the media can barely hint that he has a problem with the truth. They'll never come close to saying he has mental issues even if he's an extreme case of a number of psychological problems.

Lecter wasn't a good character, much less a great one. That The Con continues to consider him "great" is a real window into his pea brain.

Not that he ever actually lived, of course, being a work of fiction. But the Hannibal character was never killed off either, in any of the books or films he was featured in. Just sayin'.

More proof that drumpf is reliably always a blathering idiot, who never knows what he's talking about.

and real reports, not the current circle jerks that we are inflicted with daily, and called out Nixon for the BS he spewed in answer to Rather's question. They traded barbs for quite awhile and it got rather heated. Rather stood his ground and would not let Nixon intimidate him.

Just once I'd like to see a reporter stand there and say, "Mr. President everything you have just said is insane indecipherable nonsense or a bald faced lie. Would you please give me an answer to the question".

It was a significant moment, that influenced journalism for years to come. People born after that should watch it, I'm sure it is on youtube. For our generation, it confirmed that we were right.
