The man in the White House needs the men in the white coats

Donald Trump is crazy. He displayed crazy the moment he entered the presidential race in June, 2015. He campaigned crazy for the Republican nomination and won. He campaigned crazy as the Republican nominee and won. At that point many hoped he was simply 'acting' crazy to get elected. Then as President Elect he continued to display crazy. Many now hoped against hope he was still just acting. A week into his presidency it is clear he isn't acting. He's certifiably crazy.

Of course, crazy is a simplistic word to define deeply aberrant behavior. What is more specific is that Trump is intellectually, morally and temperamentally unfit to be president. Intellectually, he may have a high IQ, but he disdains any pretension to intellectual study or curiosity, essentially nullifying whatever intellectual potential he possesses. Morally, he fails on every measure imaginable: compulsive lying, sexual predation, unending personal attacks against critics, ravenous greed, unquenchable egomania. Temperamentally, he is so erratic the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists cites his erratic temperament as one of the reasons they've moved the Doomsday Clock, the harbinger of potential nuclear annihilation, to two and a half minutes to Doomsday, the closest to Doomsday since 1953.

Article 4 of the 25th Amendment provides two avenues to remove a president for aberrant intellectual, moral and temperamental behavior; one by the cabinet and one by the Congress, both in conjunction with the Vice President. That is both a long shot and unlikely at this early stage. But what is clear to those of use with sound minds, morals and temperament is that the man in the White House needs to be taken care of by the men in the white coats.
