'Trump’s volatile behavior has created an environment ripe for leaks from his executive agencies and even within his White House, according to The Huffington Post. And while leaks typically involve staffers sabotaging each other to improve their own standing or trying to scuttle policy ideas they find genuinely problematic, Trump’s 2-week-old administration has a third category: leaks from White House and agency officials alarmed by the president’s conduct.

For Americans who based their impression of Trump on the competent and decisive tycoon he portrayed on his “Apprentice” TV reality shows, the portrait from these and many other tidbits emerging from his administration may seem a shock: an impulsive, sometimes petty chief executive more concerned with the adulation of the nation than the details of his own policies ? and quick to assign blame when things do not go his way.

“I’ve been in this town for 26 years. I have never seen anything like this,” said Eliot Cohen, a senior State Department official under President George W. Bush and a member of his National Security Council. “I genuinely do not think this is a mentally healthy president.”'

Cohen is correct about the presidents mental state. Trump is a extreme narcissist who lacks empathy for others and will use anything to advance himself no matter who or what gets in his path. He is mentally ill and is the greatest threat to this nation in at least five decades.

And what will the Congress do about this? Nothing until it does serious damage.

Nothin you weren't warned about. Nothing Trump's colored past and dodgy statements don't prove. His biographer called him a sociopath.

I wonder how much ZH pays for this spamming.

Also, any message or series of messages promoting a product, site or service made by a member who does not demonstrate the intention and willingness to participate in the normal discourse of the DPMB can be considered spamming.

Is Cohen a psychiatrist or something?

There can be no doubt that Trump is running a weird honeymoon, but I doubt that that is enough to justify the diagnosis of insanity at this point. It is even possible that he is working a fully rational if quite demanding and risky strategy.

I suspect the leaks are coming from the Priebus/Pence wing of the admin and their staffers .

That's why things are starting to blow up. Trump is a divider and one unable to handle criticism or engage in any level of diplomacy or tact. It's quite embarrassing and can threaten America's interaction and dominance of foreign affairs.

It could be worse, it could be Hillary. Talk about unhinged, nuts, and out of control. But, of course, if it was Hillary going crazy, it would be all good with the left.

Spot on. How anyone could have missed this during the campaign and still voted for him is beyond me. But we haven't seen anything yet. Wait until he gets push back from the other branches in the government and loses. He will go into an absolute rage.

Why do you equate mental illness with insanity? There's wide range of mental illnesses just like there is a wide range of physical illnesses.

Why do you want to find a scapegoat instead of possibly acknowledging he may have problems? Perhaps you are in denial?

I think I will wait for something a bit more concrete before rushing to judge the president's mental health and things like any leaking. I am more concerned with the official actions of the president than what he may be doing in private.
