They do?
Even if that were true, would it validate the claims made by DEMOCRATS in this thread about the president's mental health?
Answer, Christiecrite.
You know they do and you joined them many times.
My opinion is that trump has a personality disorder first, and other issues second. And that there's no treatment for his personality disorder.
Thread translation:
Because your assessment is based on partisanship.
Weren't you speculating that he was physically abusing the First Lady the other day?
Answer, Christiecrite.
We're talking about what these men say (said) while in office. However that stuttering was a little hard to listen to.
Personally, I think the 'Deal' has already been worked out. The actual 'Summit' is just for Kim and Trump to get some face time and, of course, those all important 'photo ops' for local back home propaganda.
My guess, Peace Treaty with NK, SK, and US. (cheering crowds, confetti, champagne corks a-flyin').
Then a long drawn out pretzel type explanation about 'de-nuclearization' on the Korean Peninsula.
I'll tell you who truly doesn't look well, and that's Fat Ass:A CNBC journalist on Saturday responded to President Trump’s lengthy press conference in Canada by saying he was concerned about the president’s mental health -- the latest Trump-related health concern raised by media outlets.
CNBC correspondent John Harwood made the remarks on MSNBC’s “AM Joy.” Mediaite first reported on Harwood’s comments.
Trump used the press conference to take a hard stance on tariffs, warning allies not to retaliate against U.S. tariffs on aluminum and steel. He also criticized past U.S. leaders for their handling of the crisis on the Korean Peninsula and trade -- something he has done multiple times before.
But Harwood was concerned.
“I'll be honest as a citizen: I'm concerned about the president's state of mind. He did not look well to me in that press conference,” he said. “He was not speaking logically or rationally. It sounded as if he was making stuff up, saying China told me nobody's ever talked to us, saying, 'Oh, I talked to Justin Trudeau and can't believe he was getting away with so much trade stuff.'”
Harwood said that that there was “something about his affect” that troubled the veteran journalist.
"I don't think those things are true. And he, there was something about his affect which was oddly kind of languid for him," he said. "I don't know what it means but he did not look well to me.”
The radical assessment was given support by Mother Jones DC bureau chief David Corn, who said: “If you were talking to me this morning the way we just heard Donald Trump talk, I would ask you if you’d taken any medication, advise you not to operate any heavy machinery.”
It isn’t the first time, that members of so-called mainstream media outlets have encouraged speculation about the health of members of the first family.
In January, then-White House physician Ronny Jackson was slammed with an onslaught of questions on Trump’s health in a bizarre press conference as White House correspondents asked about everything from whether he wears dentures to how to guage his mental health.
Recently, members of the media wrote pieces and sent out tweets musing about first lady Melania Trump’s health and whereabouts, despite the obvious explanation that she was recovering from a kidney procedure.
CNN even aired a graphic of a calendar, placing question marks on each date since the first lady was “last seen.”
President Trump responded to the speculation by blasting the “vicious” media and accused them of pushing a “sick narrative that she was living in a different part of the world, was really ill, or whatever.”
“Fake News is really bad!” he added.

You cannot criticize people for saying trump sound and looks unwell, then do it to Obama and Hillary. You cannot diagnose Trump from a TV screen. However he shows his childish immaturity regularly. Trump provides ample evidence that he is unqualified for the job intellectually or emotionally. Not so for Obama or Hillary.
I can't? I just did.
They don't think anyone should speculate about DEMOCRATS' health, but they feel justified in speculating about Republicans, don't they?
Because your assessment is based on partisanship.
Weren't you speculating that he was physically abusing the First Lady the other day?
Answer, Christiecrite.
Nope. My speculations centered on plastic surgery. And speaking of plastic surgery, trump snapped “During her recovery from surgery they reported everything from near death, to facelift, to left the W.H. (and me) for N.Y. or Virginia, to abuse,” Trump fumed on Twitter Wednesday. “All Fake, she is doing really well!”
He's so insulted that someone suggested she had a face lift but he was real quick to insult Mika Brzezinski with a low-class, no evidence taunt that she had a face lift.
Re: my assessment, read this list and tell me which one (or several) do NOT apply to trump.

Think so?
Some liberals seem to think Kim is "playing" and "controlling" Trump, don't they?
They did? Link up.
It's common practice. Should we expect anything else?
I could just as easily claim that Y O U exhibit all those symptoms, couldn't I?
No, nor do I.
I like to watch them scurry when I point out their hypocrisy and double standards.
I could just as easily claim that Y O U exhibit all those symptoms, couldn't I?
Or yourself.
