Will the only beneficial result of Trump be that future Presidential candidates will need Psychiatric exams before running?

[purplepoppy]

No. The right wants to make criticism of Trump enough to have people condemned as mentally ill. We regularly see terms such as libtard and trump derangement syndrome thrown about. It's not a stretch of the imagination to see a time in the near future where any opinion outside of the MAGA mindset could see you labelled insane by government appointed psychologists. Even thinking of standing against Trump in an election will get you put in straight jacket.

If this idiot would get his way there would be no more presidents and he would be Fuhrer to death!

[Chazmatazz269]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m actually in favor, but then nobody would qualify.
Also, since 100% of the soft sciences are monopolized by leftists, there would never again be a fair assessment.

[msc545]

I think it speaks volumes that you assume that just like your people, everybody on the left will automatically let their politics interfere and influence everything that they do professionally. We don't.

[DryGermanGuy]

The constitution also bans people who engaged in insurrection against the state from running for office, yet here we are…

[dustybiker2]

Exactly. It was against the law to even swear him in. Been saying that all along.

i'm glad to see you are coming onboard. but they will always use their own doctor with presidential immunity. i'm suprised they didn't use that with biden.

we will see a complete shift of power at election time. i don't think there is a large enough percentage of the American community that votes straight party or by party lines anymore. they won't do it. if elon musk were to provide a third party option that got the right message out. i don't know if that's a gamble or a step in the right direction?

[msc545]

@Sevenpointfive I am fairly sure that there will not BE an election in this country for a very long time, if not forever. Trump and MAGA will not allow it and cannot afford to have it. If Trump planned to have an election, it would be heavily rigged at best. I don't think he plans to have one at all.

[Sevenpointfive]

lol ok. you try selling that to americans my age and older and it's the last thing you fight for. the disaster of a night in the history of the world would happen.

i'm going to let you in on some MAGA insight. i'm not maga but i see their points like i do the lefts and center (which i am). maga will not act until 1 of 3 things occur.

1. it affects someone they care about
2. it happens to their neighbor
3. it happens to them

and i understand a lot of thinkers saying that means nothing. i want you to start looking at the people that you want to replace them.

[msc545]

Please explain the last two sentences of the above post - I am still puzzling over their meaning - thanks!

[Sevenpointfive]

a lot of big voices say that americans are pussies and will not stand up for themselves. this is SOSOSO wrong! maybe it's different here and they're right? but when biden didn't give a shit about the border the citizens started taking over the state. greg abbott saw this happening and flip flopped to being a republican or find himself out of a job. this is the only reason texas didn't fight ICE. ICE wasn't the same in texas. texans wanted these people out. we needed help at the border. so when texas failed and trump had no business there, he moved on. had he tried his personal police force again here, he wouldn't be met so kindly.

who would replace the people that you want to see taken out of office? i don't think that's a very clear and focused idea that the public is behind. it's dangerous and will only breed exactly what they don't want. so, when these leaders that start popping up like newsom (CA), they feel they have someone to fight for them even if that person is clearly not a moral person and has a past that is shady.

I think we should hav e had mental exams for presidents 5 years ago. it would have saved us a lot of problems

[occulus]

Joe Biden said that cognitive ability tests are way too easy so he refused to take one. Look where that got us.

[msc545]

@occulus Trump said that.

[occulus]

Trump didn’t say that, and he even took the test twice. Biden didn’t take the test at all because he said it was too easy for him.

[occulus]

I’ve heard of people who stay up all night studying for their blood test or their urinalysis test.

[msc545]

@occulus Link evidence re Biden saying that, please.

[occulus]

I will gladly do that after you post evidence where Trump refused to take the test.

[msc545]

As far as I can remember, Trump did take a test and it's one that I'm actually very familiar with. Mostly because it's pretty much useless. We don't actually use it in real practice because it doesn't give us good information and it in fact is far too easy to pass.

[occulus]

Exactly. Biden refused to take an easy test. And I look what happened. Who will testify on his behalf rather than take the fifth?

[msc545]

There is no one single test for dementia or cognitive dysfunction. They're as a neuropsychologist. I give an entire battery of tests and then considered the results of all the tests together and separately. It's a long, expensive process. I don't give the tests myself but my assistant actually does the clerical work of giving them and scoring them. I only consider the results luckily.

[occulus]

Why wasn’t Biden allowed to run in 2028?

[msc545]

Probably because it's not 2028 yet.

[occulus]

2024 then

[msc545]

I don't think it matters if anyone refuses to take a test since it's such a political thing and there might be lots of reasons for refusing to do it. It's also very annoying actually.

[occulus]

2024?

[msc545]

@occulus It is now 2025. Do YOU need to be tested?

[occulus]

@msc545
Had Joe qualified to run for the presidency of the United States, it would’ve been in 2024. But he wasn’t qualified because Trump kicked his ass at the debate. So the Democrats said he wasn’t allowed to run and they chose Kamala.

[msc545]

I think he actually chose not to run but so what? How is this relevant today?

[DrPepper12]

No. Never gonna happen. It would be nice tho

[dustybiker2]

I hope it will be one of many positive outcomes from this brown squirt storm.

[CaptainSmartass]

Either that, or the revocation of the presidency.

Simples...

[jamesgoldman]

you'll probably never find a president theb
