Define 'crazy' when criticizing Trump

I saw where The Boston Globe published a parody of itself based on if Donald Trump were elected president. I suppose the idea was to show how "crazy" things would be if this were to happen. I tend to lean right with my political views, but must say I am not a big backer of Mr. Trump. Still I find it almost amusing how many are reacting to this possibility and how "crazy" it would be.

Many of these same people have remained quiet the last seven years as many things have occurred that frankly have been anything but normal. I read again recently that border agents have been ordered to release more illegal immigrants into the United States, I see where the president is wanting to bring in more and more refugees even though ISIS has said they are infiltrating these groups. This isn't crazy?

We had a scandal where the IRS was targeting anti-Obama groups prior to the last election. We had the administration out and out lie to us regarding the reason for the attack in Benghazi. We had one of the authors/consultants on video stating that they had to lie to the public regarding Obama Care to get it passed. And This isn't crazy?

We have struck nuclear deals with Iran where they get to inspect their own facilities. We traded one deserter for five known terrorist leaders. Again, not crazy?

We are approaching $20 trillion in debt and the administration in a complete memory lapse is pushing to reduce lending qualification standards. What is the word I am looking for here?

There are some things about Mr. Trump that genuinely concern me, but I am not sure he would be any more "crazy" than what we have endured the last seven years.
