Donald Trump promised to be a peacetime president. So why is he preparing for a regime change war in Venezuela?

Never want to hear about divisiveness & hateful rhetoric again. The only "derangement syndrome" is believing this man is competent, strong, or in possession of any humanity. The day he dies will be vulgar in celebration. And fuck Kirk & his Evil-Lyn wife too.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.
He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.
