Donald Trump was “bewildered” after French President Emmanuel Macron put him in his place
Donald Trump’s increasingly erratic, inappropriate and disturbing behavior during and since his overseas trip has left many Americans concerned that he may in a rapid state of psychological decline. Now comes word from inside Trump’s own White House that there is indeed something fundamentally broken with his mental state and decision making process.
During the overseas trip, newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron decided to put Donald Trump in his place by manhandling him during their handshake, a tactic which Trump himself had been using to try to bully the leaders of America’s other allies. Macron then went on to publicly acknowledge that he’d done it on purpose. That has led Trump’s own staff to make a shocking admission.
According to a report from the Washington Post, Donald Trump’s own staffers say the handshake incident left Trump “bewildered” (link). Trump’s staff is seemingly unaware that it’s never a good idea to describe the person holding the office of President of the United as being “bewildered,” because in so doing, they just admitted that he’s psychologically incompetent.
The report goes on to suggest that Trump made his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord at least partially based on the handshake in question. So not only has Trump reached a point of psychosis where he’s making a decision that harms all Americans based on a mere handshake he didn’t like, he’s also too mentally vacant to grasp that the Paris Climate Accord didn’t really have anything to do with France. There is a psychologically incompetent and outright psychotic individual occupying the White House, and even his own staff is now publicly acknowledging it. The Republicans in Congress are derelict in their duties by refusing to impeach and remove him. If you’re a regular reader, feel free to support Palmer Report
