Serious question - Do you think Trump will be stopped before Tuesday evening?

The level of concern across the news sites is alarming, even Paul Krugman said he's terrified.

Trump is quickly spiraling out of control. There was the weird police presence at Walter Reed Saturday night, the bizarre, vulgar Easter message yesterday, and now the televised freak out today.

Honestly, I am beyond worried.

But with the idiots he's surrounded himself with, nothing would surprise me.

Internet went a bit turbo today with rumors Trump was taken to Walter Reed, so we drive up to Walter Reed, after taking a look at a bus into a building.

Republicans had every opportunity and decided not to. Now it's too late.

I tend to think he could fabricate some half-assed diplomatic opening,
that would allow him to Tone Down his bombing spree- and let him save some face.
Maybe I'm too optimistic. But who knows with this guy? He is NUTS!!

To dump everything they got at the Gulf oil and gas infrastructure tomorrow before Trump's deadline. I mean, if you don't think he will TACO. I assume Russian and Putin will be advising Iran based on what they know on that.

That minor blot on his credibility, near the end of his career, would have been so much worse than what the world and we are now facing.
