Trump has opened the door wide to the concept of "anyone can be president, even unqualified, annoying blowhards"
I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.

From a NYT article on schools and mental health: "A child might be tagged with 'oppositional defiance disorder' or 'pathological avoidance disorder'."

Boycott. Don't shop. Spend the day, not your money, with family and friends. Cut off that revenue. Speak to them in the only language they understand. Trump is making this happen. They need to turn on him.

Our institutions and our Constitution are built on far too many assumptions of honesty, integrity and morality. What Trump has laid bare is the need for laws—not assumptions of normal behavior—that can restrict someone with felonious intent. From the President to a Supreme Court Justice.
