The former president and current Republican nominee claimed in a Truth Social post that Kamala Harris had shared a fake photo showing throngs of supporters greeting her at a Michigan airport, and the conservative attorney Conway expressed alarm to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“As I’ve been yammering about for five or six years now, he’s a deeply unwell man,” Conway said. "He is a deeply psychologically disturbed individual. If he were a member of your family, you’d be taking him, staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital.
“If Melania and Ivanka and Eric and Don Jr. care about their father, and I assume – their father and husband — and I assume they do, they’d be doing that if they could. He is, as I’ve been saying, a narcissistic sociopath, a pathological narcissist and sociopath as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. These are, historians will tell you, the traits of authoritarian dictators throughout history.”

“This […] the final implosion of Donald Trump. I mean, it’s like Hitler when Hitler was moving around divisions that didn’t exist in the last 10 days of the war in the führer bunker. He has completely lost it.”
Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on 34 felony convictions Sept. 18 and remains under indictment in the District of Columbia and Georgia on election interference charges, and Conway said he needs to win re-election to avoid consequences.
“He is running for his freedom,” Conway said. “He’s going to go to jail if he does not win the presidency, and he can see that now. That’s why he’s doubling down on the unreality. It is partly for self-soothing, partly he can’t help it. He is a pathological liar, being a sociopath. What we are watching is … actually very, very sad.”
Yeah, I don’t know what his family is doing. He should be under a conservatorship. He is in Florida, if one of his family members doesn’t do it, maybe a Florida judge should designate Ron DeSantis or one of his cronies as Trump’s conservator /s
Anyone can make a complaint and ruin a life in Florida I believe. It won’t happen to Trump, because the attorneys and judges would be too scared to take Trump on, but in theory they could do it.

Learn something new every day!
Wasn’t some of that because no one wanted to be the guy to tell him something’s wrong? Eg. the Downfall scene.
I don’t know, I just learned of this today :D
I know he was super coked-up and unstable, but whole imaginary divisions is such a crazy level.
If it was someone else maybe.
Don Jr. is severely addled on cocaine, and Daddy is his meal ticket
Eric is too stupid to understand anything and even if he did, Daddy is his meal ticket
Ivanka has Jared and they are now sitting on $2 BILLION ill gained Saudi dollars— they don’t need disposable dotard Donald any more
Honestly, if I’d been tied to that dipshit my entire life, I wouldn’t go out of my way to be spending more time or effort on him.

Seriously, conservatorship is a major problem in Florida: https://cbs12.com/news/cbs12-news-i-team/florida-lawyer-guardianship-brian-oconnell-catholic-charities-palm-beach-county-center-for-estate-administration-reform-11-3-2023. It’s basically the thing Brittany Spears was in.
