Paying for Mexico's border wall and a pardon for Sheriff Joe

Donald Trump tragically can't save his failed leadership. Frankly, he just can't go any lower in his spiraling character regression than what he displayed during the horrible speech, given on August 22nd, in Phoenix Arizona.  Instead of taking an optimal opportunity to progress beyond racist rhetoric, Donald Trump just continued to pour gasoline on his incendiary cult supporters.  In Phoenix, Donald Trump was delusional during a daunting 77 minute ranting speech where he threatened to shut down the US government so he could fulfill his campaign promise (what kind of "deal" is that for our international relations with Mexico?); and he extended the hope of a pardon for Arizona's tyrannically racist "Sheriff Joe" (Joe Arpaio). Both comments were deliberately incendiary.

Obviously, in my mind, Donald Trump is building an anti-Resistance "resistance" among his cult supporters who he expects will fight like an organized army to protect his evil filled legacy.

Perhaps, Donald Trump is following one of these two personality trajectories- either King George III's descent into madness, or the tragic, albeit fictional, life of King Lear.
Often called the “Mad King,” Britain’s King George III suffered from several bouts of poor health during his 60-year reign. In the last decade of his life, he was considered so deranged that his son (the future King George IV) had to take over as prince regent. But just what caused the king’s symptoms--whether physical disease or mental illness--has long been unknown. Now, by programming a computer to “read” hundreds of his letters, researchers say they have found evidence that King George III was in fact suffering from a mental illness in his later years.
Although history has not been kind to President Richard Nixon, because of his mis-handling of "Watergate", when it came time for him to resign, he recognized the urgency of keeping America safe from divisive politics. Indeed, Nixon did what was right at the time. Richard Nixon resigned. But, moreover, he lived long enough to become a better person for it, or, at least, that's my opinion.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, appears to have passed the point of no return. He's crazy and won't let anybody tell him otherwise.

Republicans must remove Donald Trump from the Oval office, where he continues to abuse Americans. He spews hate filled rhetoric and "Tweet storms", sent out in the middle of the night, when nobody is around to detract him from demonstrating "craziness".  

Donald Trump acts like crazy King George III, who would've been a "Tweet Terror", if he'd been given the technology to do so.  

In the Shakespearean world, he is a mirror reflection of the deranged King Lear, who couldn't even be saved by his daughter Cordelia.  She is the youngest of (Shakespeare's) King Lear's three daughters, and his favorite. After her elderly father offers her the opportunity to profess her love to him, in return for one third of the land in his kingdom, she refuses and is banished for the majority of the play.  Meanwhile, King Lear descends into madness.

Regardless of what mentally ill trajectory Donald Trump happens to be on, it's obvious that he's becoming more obsessed with his self esteem, rather than focused on the nation's best interests. 

All the while, the Trump "agenda", whatever it is, will be stalled while the Congress will obviously be presented with the Special Investigator Robert Mueller's report on the Trump campaign's clandestine Russian connections.  

There is a positive correlation between Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump-Russia connections and Donald Trump's "decompensating" and regressive behaviors.  The closer Mueller gets to finalizing his report, the crazier Trump gets.

Republicans must call for a psychiatric evaluation of Donald Trump because, frankly, he exhibits symptoms of being mentally ill, indicating multiple personality disorders, not the least of which is neurotic narcissism. 

Therefore, a psychiatrist must determine if Donald Trump is a danger to himself and to the world. This alternative must be presented to Donald Trump: either he agrees to a psychiatric evaluation, or face impeachment for incompetent leadership.  

My advice to Donald Trump (and to chief of staff General Kelly) is this: follow the leadership of President Richard Nixon and resign.  

Republicans must prevent Donald Trump from stigmatizing Republicans as "racists". In fact, only they have the ability to prevent Donald Trump from being another King George III, or a modern and tragic King Lear. 

Somebody in the White House must tell Donald Trump that he is in need of mental health care and treatment.
