How much rope do you give an insane man?

All that he wants? Or just enough to keep him under control?

Threats of thousands of missiles raining down if someone assassinates him? That is insanity.

If they do not have a short rope, then they should get one very soon. The guy has lost his marbles.

He wants a drone-proof ceiling on his billion dollar ballroom. He wants a military secure room underneath it all. He wants a helipad for quick retreat if necessary. He wants a bulletproof door on the White House.

What's going on?

who happens to have enough power to fuck up a major nation and collaterally damage multiple countries around the world.

NOt keen on words like insane or mentally ill. Those things aren't nearly specific enough to bound the problem

Most people who might be called insane don't have the capacity to harm at the scale that the Orange Blunder has.
