Has Donald Trump gone nuts? This is obviously a difficult question to raise about any person, let alone a candidate, who has demonstrated vicious, paranoid, and violent behavior. (A civil trial in a federal court found him guilty of sexual abuse, after all.) So, everything is relative. Still, all the armchair gerontologists parsing every utterance from President Joe Biden, trying to distinguish his congenital stutter from his natural aging, should look at Trump, whose behavior has gone from bad to weird to bizarre. Is he suffering from a palpable form of dementia? I leave that to the medical experts, but I’d implore you to absorb what the 45th president has been saying recently and how it’s even more worrisome than what he’s been saying and doing since he came down the escalator at Trump Towers in 2015.

    Trump is seeing either a prison cell or authoritarian leader in his future. I think he is feeling the stress of these futures. He may be thinking he has nothing left to lose.

    Trump and Biden are both too old to be running for president. Biden has been a good president but should have just did the one term. Trump was a terrible president who packed the supreme court with right wing religious nuts, tried to destroy our democracy, enabled bigots and racist, and gave the rich tax cuts…and much more.

    I will vote for Biden and our democracy. Because Trump is un-American and a criminal president.

    Stop voting for Republicans, they don’t believe in our democracy.

      This is the only option if you don’t want to seriously damage our country and its democracy.
