Is Donald Trump A Psychopath? Some Of His Friends Think He Is

Recent global events have been little short of apocalyptic, with nearly every world leader turning their backs on Donald Trump, rejecting his efforts to start WW3.

'MAGA' – his battalion of devoted and adoring fans have turned their backs on him, denouncing his actions against Iran - thank god. The twists of the tales told by Republican-leaning news outlets in the US have outraged the rest of the world, as Trump's attacks have been framed to be ‘defensive’, whereas strikes in retaliation are told to be acts of terror rather than for what they are.

In light of the recent somewhat surprising decision to begin a two-week ceasefire, let’s talk about some of the biggest opinions in American media that could potentially have rocked the boat.

Candace Owens, a conservative commentator and media personality has publicly tweeted pushing for the 25th amendment to be invoked, specifically dubbing Trump to be a ‘genocidal lunatic’ and insisted that American congress and militia must intervene, noting that the situation is ‘beyond madness’.

Tucker Carlson, another conservative media personality, who speaks on his own podcast, released his own statement condemning the President’s actions; ‘now it's time to say directly to the president: absolutely not’.

Majorie Taylor Greene, former republican congresswoman, tweeted pushing the use of the 25th amendment alongside Owens and highlighted that not a single bomb has been dropped on American soil from Iran, pleading with her followers that “we cannot kill an entire civilisation” again dubbing Trump’s actions to be “evil”.

Political commentator Matt Walsh spoke up about the controversy in a tweet stating, “Americans are suffering”, arguing further that the majority of Trump’s second term in office has focused on foreign adventures, and it must end, urging the President to “turn the attention back home”, wanting him to focus on the country, his people and their futures.

The host of one of the most popular podcasts of all time, Joe Rogan, chimed in, questioning how “it just seems so insane based on what he ran on”. A right-wing political commentator and conspiracy theorist, Mike Cernovich uncovered in yet another tweet that Trump’s master plan is to transform Iran into Syria since this is an “unpopular war that he wasn't able to wrap up quickly, so now he is lashing out and destroying hospitals and bridges.”

An ex-member of the Religious Liberty Commission and a Catholic commentator also took the time to tweet their own opinions. E. Michael Jones stated that the time has finally come for the American military to refuse to cooperate with orders like this, and Catholics will have to take the lead now. He argues that “Christian Zionists are incapable of rational behaviour”. Carrie Prejean Boller, an ex-member of the RLC, has urged all Christians to resign from this administration immediately after tweeting that Trump is "threatening to annihilate an entire civilisation". Boller goes on to argue that if they don't resign, then the “blood of innocent human life is on your hands”, concluding that “Trump is an evil psychopath”.

As a result of this media backlash, Congress has formally requested a cognitive exam to be performed on the President, as leading health experts have warned that he has been "exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline because of his incoherent and deranged public statements about Iran".

Congress wants the results to be released publicly and then to publicly testify under oath in front of them about Trump's personal assessment. This seems to be the first step to inciting the 25th amendment.

Instead of attacking the Democrats, which seemed to be his favourite pastime, Trump has attacked MAGA across social media for their responses to his evident insanity. The way he has conducted himself in the face of war, threatening a genocide on an entire civilisation, was surely not going to land very well even with the most faithful of his supporters.

Our own PM, Keir Starmer, has since been praised across the country for his response to the war and his response to Trump’s efforts to involve the UK militia. Starmer addressed the nation, strongly confirming that he will not put the lives of our young men in danger for some tyrannical effort to commit such heinous crimes against another nation. The turning point for world leaders turning their backs on Trump was most definitely the prospect of a genocide.

After burning bridges and attacking hospitals whilst not a single foreign drone or missile has reached US soil, Trump has lost all support and sense. From becoming the self-proclaimed ‘Land of the Free’ to the land of insanity in such a small period of time is quite the feat.

In the coming weeks, it will be interesting to see how the ceasefire and Trump's fall from power unfolds. Will the 25th Amendment be invoked? Should it already have happened? Time will tell. And that time is short.
