Trump critics have it backward

What a weird world this has become. A successful businessman, a person with no history of violent behavior or clinical evidence of mental instability, albeit a sometimes abrasive personality, runs for president without any political experience and easily defeats all those professional politicians for the nomination.

This solid citizen whose enterprises create thousands of jobs for his fellow Americans, despite the prediction of the vast majority of the pollsters that he would lose in a landslide, soundly defeated his apponent in a legally conducted election.

When Mr. Trump won the election, his opponents' supporters became unhinged and went berserk, rioting and inflicting damage across the country in protest. Are these the actions of mentally sound adults, or spoiled children whose mental capacity hasn"t fully developed?

That rational celebrity, Madonna, thinks about blowing up the White House, and Cher and Barbra Streisand, who informed us that they would leave the country if Trump won are still here. Now these losers tell us of the unbearable fear they have because a man who they claim is a narccisist with severe mental problems will be running the country.

This appears to be a classic example of the inmates of the asylum calling their keepers crazy.
