"This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn't belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now."

"The reality is that this president is mentally ill. The expletive-filled outrage shows a puerile, uncontrolled and vulgar behavior that will alienate many Americans and do nothing to affect the Iranian strategy, which is to tough it out.

There is no plan but bluster and hope."

"He's seriously out of his mind. And the Iranians know it ...

"Regardless of the inspiration for Trump’s post, by itself it tells a very clear story. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s former assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi posted: 'The American president has lost his mind.'”

"Imagine Joe Biden, or worse still, Barack Obama, saying that [i.e., praise be to Allah] 'in jest' and how Republicans would have responded. Trump is completely off the rails and Republicans are turning a blind eye, pretending it’s not happening."

"Earlier this week, Trump’s 'spiritual advisor' Paula White-Cain compared him to Jesus. Trump, too, was 'betrayed and arrested and falsely accused,' she said. No one in the Republican Party seems to have believed they need to strenuously resist that characterization.

"For the moment we are all waiting to see just how mad Donald Trump is. Not how angry — we know that — but whether he is actually mentally deranged enough not only to announce he is going to commit war crimes, which he has done, but to then commit them, in a war of his own impulse against a country with which we were negotiating peace."
