President Trump’s Disability

The Founding Fathers were indeed very, very wise.

(Have you noticed how often Trump says, ‘very, very’?)

Indeed, there may have been a prophet in their midst.

The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution

Of the mighty Land of The Free, those United (ish) States,

Deals with, thank God, succession to the Presidency.

How delightful; how wise; how alarmingly necessary!  

This insightful sliver of law establishes procedures both for

Filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President,

And, here’s the rub, to quote Will, as well as responding to

Presidential disabilities.  Is there anybody other than the most

Fervent Trump devotee who would not say that the President

Is well and truly, utterly, bizarrely and perilously incapacitated

In his brain box, noodle, noggin, bonce?  I doubt it, assuredly.

Even academics in their Ivory Towers and abstruse worlds

Of hankering for tenure, cloaks and gowns and training

In the fine art of faculty back-stabbing, have noticed!

Havard professor of psychiatry Judith Herman, an intrepid soul,

And lecturer in psychiatry at Colombia Uni Robert Lifton,

Tell us that "His erratic behaviour, including “repeated failure

To distinguish between reality and fantasy” and “paranoid

Claims of conspiracy”, cast doubt over his ability to react

Rationally in a crisis." Well, who’d have thought?  All of us!

Let’s be honest, he has gone beyond ‘Cuckoo’ and would

Now be well placed leading a crazed bunch of March hares. 

Oh, hold your wildest of horses, isn’t that exactly what he does?

35 mental health professionals also popped their heads up

Above the parapet and warned that the “grave emotional

Instability” indicated by Mr Trump’s behaviour made him -

Wait for it! - incapable of serving safely as President.

Step back with amazement!  What a revelation!  Stunned!

Jaw dropped!  No member of the dullard proletariat – plebs!-

Without their skill sets had considered this for even a second.

In the dark, we all were, quietly content in our humdrum world.

Mr Farage had assured us that all was well and so it must be.

Mind you, there have been psychiatrists who have warned

Against coming to judgement before meeting the man for

Purposes of diagnosis.   Hitler?  They really don’t get it. 

They’re stuck in their sacred procedures and tick boxes.  

Real people know the poor loon is totally potty, out to lunch,

A dime or three short of a dollar, doolally tap, a bent banana.   

I just wonder why the Democrats, and any sane American

Possessing courage, integrity and authority, aren't trying to stop

This modern day Caligula from destroying both democracy

And the planet. Seriously, let’s get real.  It isn’t going to be

Alright.  He won’t get better with time, he’ll get worse, and

Those who he chose to surround him will support his madness,

For they are riding a tiger and they are also at least more than

A little odd themselves.  Stop pretending, World.  It’s not right.

This isn’t what democracy is about, rule by a lying lunatic. 

So, come on every Tom, Dick, and Donald, face the reality that is,

Especially in the USA.  Please, don’t prevaricate, He’s nuts; really.

Get real and get rid of him now, before he grows too dominant.
