Trump is displaying alarming signs of mental illness [View all]

Here's the problem and it's a big one from the Editorial Board ...Last Vegas Sun:

Americans should be alarmed by Trump's words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness.

He struggles to complete sentences or sustain coherent thoughts, shambles about aimlessly, slurs his words and sometimes speaks gibberish. Always an effortless liar, now his speeches are nothing more than a series of lies tangled in a mass inside his head. It appears he no longer even knows he's lying. Even Trump's supporters cannot afford to ignore the signs that he may no longer have the mental faculties to lead it either.

The stakes are simply too high."
