Ok, Trump is very obnoxious and rude when he speaks and in his behavior. But I think a lot of people were exaggerating when they say he was insane or mentally impaired. As you are when you’re using the terms ‘nefarious’ and ‘taken in by a cult’.

Well of course right wingers wouldn’t criticize Trump. But left wingers did said he was mentally impaired or crazy, some even wanted his impeachment or removal for mental health reasons !

His health is getting better : https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna95355
