Professionals in the field of mental health have made shocking observations that suggest that he is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=36318\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">suffering from a variety of psychological problems<\/a><\/strong> with varying degrees of severity.

His vocabulary is badly limited to a few <em>&#8220;tremendous&#8221;<\/em> words and phrases that he repeats frequently. <em>&#8220;That I can tell you.&#8221;<\/em> And his tendency to resort to childish insults and nicknames is evidence of a stunted emotional maturity. On Thursday morning Trump displayed another example of his failing cognitive skills in a furious tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nancy just said she \u201cjust doesn\u2019t understand why?\u201d Very simply, without a Wall it all doesn\u2019t work. Our Country has a chance to greatly reduce Crime, Human Trafficking, Gangs and Drugs. Should have been done for decades. We will not Cave!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1088470495312400384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Judging by the context in Trump&#8217;s tweet, it would appear that he&#8217;s criticizing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her inability to understand why he&#8217;s fighting so hard for a wall on the southern border. The only problem with that is that the remarks he is referring to had nothing whatsoever to do with that.<\/p>\n<p>What Pelosi was responding to were comments by Trump&#8217;s Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross. During <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/01\/24\/ross-government-shutdown-food-banks-1122842\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an interview on CNBC<\/a><\/strong>, Ross was asked about the sad occurrence of federal workers, furloughed by Trump&#8217;s government shutdown, having to visit food banks in order to provide for their families. He replied saying that <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t really quite understand why,&#8221;<\/em> and suggested that they should just go out and get loans to tide them over. That strikingly insensitive response is what Pelosi was referencing when she said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;What do <em>[Republicans]<\/em> have? They have Wilbur Ross saying he doesn&#8217;t understand why when he was asked about people going to food lines and pantries and the rest. He says that he doesn&#8217;t understand why they have to do that. Is this the &#8216;let them eat cake&#8217; kind of attitude, or &#8216;call your father for money?'&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nancy Pelosi responds to Wilbur Ross: &quot;Is this the &#39;let them eat cake&#39; kind of attitude, or &#39;call your father for money?&#39;&quot; Via ABC <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2qOpT4472P\">pic.twitter.com\/2qOpT4472P<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kylegriffin1\/status\/1088471554181267461?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Pelosi was not saying that she didn&#8217;t understand the need for the wall. She wasn&#8217;t even saying that she didn&#8217;t understand anything. She was recounting Ross&#8217; comments that it was he who didn&#8217;t understand. How could Trump have gotten that so terribly wrong? It wasn&#8217;t the least bit confusing.<\/p>\n<p>The answer may have something to do with the obvious mental defects he is suffering from. Or it might be that he&#8217;s just dishonestly twisting Pelosi&#8217;s words to fit them into his own narrative. Then again, it could have something to do with Trump&#8217;s inability to deal with strong women that just threw him into a psychotic haze. After all, he has already had to bow down in submission to Pelosi with regard to the State of the Union address that she isn&#8217;t permitting him to give until the government is reopened. And it&#8217;s cute how his tweet says that he <em>&#8220;will not Cave,&#8221;<\/em> after just having done so a few hours earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is having a difficult time dealing with Pelosi. He couldn&#8217;t even make up a nasty nickname for her, so he settled for calling her <em>&#8220;Nancy.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s pretty lame. What&#8217;s more, while he has no problem insulting the men in Congress that he doesn&#8217;t like, his <em>&#8220;insults&#8221;<\/em> directed at Pelosi are often more like compliments. Trump calls Democratic representatives her <em>&#8220;puppets.&#8221;<\/em> He even said that Pelosi <em>&#8220;dominates&#8221;<\/em> Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. Those comments suggest strength on Pelosi&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, when he was unhappy with the former GOP Speaker, Paul Ryan, Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdonaldtrump\/status\/785828772423561216\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wasn&#8217;t shy<\/a><\/strong> about saying that he is a <em>&#8220;very weak and ineffective leader.&#8221;<\/em> But he never disparages Pelosi that way.
