Is There a Doctor in the [White] House?

“Leave the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH.”

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” bombing Iran “back to the Stone Ages.”

In your wildest imagination would you ever think such vile statements would come from a U.S. President?

Whatever diminished mental capacity former President Joe Biden may have had, what we are living through now is much worse—an unstable man during a time of war. Even berating Biden as “sleepy” has come back to haunt him as myriad videos reveal the president as “sleeping” during meetings.

The Atlantic writer Tom Nichols summarizes the president’s state of mind this way:

“[We] should be very worried about a commander in chief who is trying to govern the country between social-media binges, who attacks religious leaders in narcissistic frenzy, and who imagines himself as a deity. If an elderly parent did such things, most people would be concerned. The president doing such things is far more alarming.”

His nastiest comments are posted in the middle of the night.  When does the faucet of his venomous social media megaphone get turned off?  Can’t he think of ways to use his time in a productive way?

When he made the decision to attack Iran, a move that his predecessors had refused to undertake due to the inherent risks, he didn’t do so based on facts but on feelings.  Most troubling is that not one person told him this was a bad idea.  Even his own vice president had reservations about the “excursion” yet ultimately supported his decision.

Whenever the war ends, it will leave Iran more powerful than before.  If he’s lucky, his negotiators may end up with a deal that resembles what the Obama administration had already accomplished in 2015.  That’s the agreement that he tore up.  In the decade since, Iran has been on a nuclear enrichment spending spree.  And now, the Strait of Hormuz will forever be a weapon Iran will use against its enemies.

His public appearances are also disturbing because he constantly dwells on his “greatest hits” which consumes his thoughts—windmills, Greenland and the ballroom—none of which impact Americans struggling with gas prices.

When asked on Fox News about how the citizens of Iran are doing when it comes to basic living necessaries such as food and water, he didn’t answer the question, choosing to comment on how beautiful the female reporter was who asked the question.  That’s where his mind is during wartime?

He sits at a cabinet meeting, with the secretary of state on one side and the secretary of “war” on the other, and they have a permanent bemused expression as their commander rambles on for several minutes about the quality of the pens he has when signing executive orders.

Just yesterday he sat down for an interview with “60 Minutes” correspondent Norah O’Donnell to discuss the shooter who attempted access to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.  For a moment, the president seems unusually open to having an improved relationship with the press based on his reception.  Yet when O’Donnell asked him a question he didn’t like, his real self reappeared, lashing out at O’Donnell as “horrible” and a “disgrace”.   There’s the president 77 million people voted for, in all his glorious vulgarity.

If he doesn’t have dementia, then he has a personality disorder.  In either case, accountability needs to happen finally to this man.   Send a doctor, psychologist or anger management therapist to the White House because the leader of the free world is not well, and if he continues acting like a recalcitrant toddler, America will end up in the intensive care unit.
