He doesn't look or sound well

I didn't watch much of his (Thursday morning?) post-airbase attack speech from the White House, but did notice the (now quite common) slight slur of words that comes when he is trying to stick to script, like he has false teeth that don't quite fit, or something.   Many Lefties talk about his sniffing a lot during these speeches, but I tend to think that may well be a nervous tic that comes from, well, just sticking to script.

The attempt at Messiah image, by his coming out of the room with the light behind him, was just too, too obvious; and somewhat offset by the awkward appearance of the "disciples" behind him:


...especially that top brass to the right of him in the photo - he always looks like he hasn't slept for 2 weeks and is on the verge of panic, if you ask me.

But this subsequent photo from another event also makes Trump look pretty unwell:


 And it's not just one photo:



At the very least, he looks very, very tired.  But given the somewhat mysterious recent visit to a hospital, I think there is reason to suspect he is not well with an ongoing condition.

Yes, there is a small corner of Lefties who go on about how any sniff means he's doing cocaine, or he obviously has dementia, or whatever.   I don't think it has any real widespread traction though.

Unlike, of course, the utter conviction that existed amongst Right wingnuts that Hilary Clinton was on her death bed, virtually, during the campaign.  

We can be 100% certain that if Hilary Clinton were President, showing the same speech tics and with blue bags under her eyes like Trump, the Wingnut Right would be speaking about it all day, every day.

He is old and he is obese.
It is clearly affecting his cognitive skills or lack thereof.

His diet is crap and as you get older you will suffer symptoms of things you have never heard of and plenty you have.

This piece of policy was a classic incoherent from start to finish He clearly was nervous and lacked confidence on what to do.

I should add the reasons given are incoherent as usual.

Now we are told the US embassy was going to be targeted and overrun.
He cannot be serious

Tricked into making this disastrous mistake. But his damage management isn't too bad. However think of the nastiness of his negotiation strategy. He's tightening sanctions on Iran. Ghastly behaviour causing until unnecessary hardship.

A think its been a good Presidency. But given the trajectory he's on it ought to be only one term. Still only two candidates could possibly serve as a reasonable alternative.

He can now be impeached properly. And with good reasons to do so. They won't do it. But at least its possible.
