    It would depend.

    Can a 73-yr-old obese dementia sufferer actually find time to, do “the most or best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”;
    (Nobel Peace Prize criteria)

    ALL while also doing what we know REALLY keeps him up at night:

    - lashing out obsessively at every personal affront from the ever-growing list of foes, both real and imagined; 
    - endlessly Tweeting dysfunctional brain leakage to keep his base at heel; 
    -working to isolate his country from its allies, his administration from the law, and himself from reality; AND
    -spending every other conscious moment craving affirmation, advancing his vanity and exaggerating his achievements (also both real and imagined) ? 

     

    Personally, I have seen no evidence to support that possibility.

    Your list of what keeps him up at night - - I couldn't agree more.
    I admit I don't follow details of news a lot but this is exactly how he comes across to me.
    His tweeting and tweets alone are unabashedly and incredibly "unpresidential." I don't care how much he has a right to say what he wishes under the First Amendment -- He is the President of the United States and some things a president simply should not to publicly, regardless of what he thinks - he needs to control himself. I'm embarrassed just looking at him and listening to him

    I'll stop, sorry.the man embarrasses me

    The deeper subtext, as I see it, is the man is without the intellectual mechanisms to recognize, or even care, that he is embarrassing (undermining) himself.

    Yeah, you may be right.

    After posting my comment to you, I second-guessed my choice of the word "embarrass" -- I'm really tired at the moment but, though I know you know what I meant, I know I did not mean that I am embarrassed about myself because of how he chooses to behave.  What I meant was that I'm embarrassed seeing such a man behaving as he does actually being the president. 

    Whoa, the more I type, the less sense I make. I'll quit while I'm behind.

    Thanks.

    When people do embarrassing things, I can be embarrassed for them. It is uncomfortable to watch, and when the man is representing YOU as an AMERICAN?  That makes it more than uncomfortable. It is like he is doing it in your name or something. I know what you mean.

    Well, if the President got impeached, he would still be able to get the prize?  I mean if he was eligible (OF COURSE THIS THING IS NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT)  But I just thought it was a deal-breaker.    To be impeached is to be charged and found guilty. If he is guilty of impeachable offenses, I just figured that would disqualify him out of hand.  But maybe raw dogging a porn star and paying for her silence during an election campaign has nothing to do with PEACE.

    My point was the dealbreakers were already sufficient as it is even without tacking on impeachment. Surely, THAT level of discredit ends the discussion. There can be little doubt that outward character of selectees is a consideration of the Nobel committee. They have a reputation, too.

    That was my question to you, who posted the question. Why do you care whether or not it keeps him up at night? How does that affect you or anyone else? You seem to be so concerned with all things Trump that one might wonder if the two of you are related.
