I suspect you don’t need 3 guesses as to which presidential candidate that is. Afterall "appalling and unhinged" is his brand. It is his MO. And perhaps even more to the point, "appalling and unhinged" more and more describes Donald Trump’s desperate state of mind.
And who is it calling out this anti-patriot presidential candidate for the danger to America, that he in fact represents? Surprise, surprise, the kid-gloves are finally off …
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates, asked about Trump's comments, said, "Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged — and it endangers American national security, global stability and our economy at home."
The NATO treaty contains a provision that guarantees mutual defense of member states if one is attacked.

This White House defense of NATO was in response to Trump’s latest threats to throw NATO to the murderous whims of Putin aggression — “if they didn’t pay up” …
"I said: 'You didn't pay? You're delinquent?' … 'No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever [the hell] they want. You gotta pay.'"

Trump sure has the “Mob boss” lingo down, doesn’t he.
Another one of our key allies is paying attention to these anti-democracy Trump threats, and the assurances of the Biden Administration, to in contrast, stand-up for them:
Bates said that US President Joe Biden, who is seeking re-election, had restored US alliances after taking office in 2021, ensuring that NATO was now “the largest and most vital it has ever been.”
“Rather than calling for wars and promoting deranged chaos, President Biden will continue to bolster American leadership and stand up for our national security interests — not against them,” he said in a statement.

What’s worse, Trump in one of his more “hinged” moments of yesteryear, has threaten/warned NATO members to ‘expect no protection from America at all’ …
Former President Donald Trump privately warned that the US would "never" help the EU if it were attacked, a top European Union official has revealed.
While speaking at an event on Tuesday, French European Commissioner Thierry Breton recounted Trump's conversation with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, per Politico.
"You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you," Trump said, according to Breton, who was also present at the meeting.
According to Breton, Trump then said: "By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO."

So much for being a student of History, and understanding the balance of world power, eh?
It would be nice (prudent, self-preserving) if the National Media would focus more on the existential threats that Donald Trump represents, were he to somehow deceive his way back into Office — and focus a little less more on the wisdom of his years, that President Joe Biden brings to the table.
Joe knows SO much more about these global issues, than Trump ever will — even after he is fined into the world of oblivion, into a world with no silver spoons, into a time and place, when he has no more frivolous appeals to file.

America does not need a spoiled brat, appalling and unhinged, wantabee Mob Boss as President.
We’ll take competence, compassion, wisdom and stability, as leader of the U.S. instead — which President Biden consistently demonstrates — thank you very much.

Trump has never met a U.S. patriot that he wouldn’t slight, ridicule, and down right insult — afterall the Unhinged One has never performed a real “day of service” in his life …
At a rally in Conway, South Carolina, on Saturday, Trump questioned where Haley's husband Major Michael Haley, who is actively serving in the South Carolina Army National Guard, has been during her campaign.
"Where's your husband? Oh, he's away. He's away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone! He knew. He knew," the former president said.

And why the Press can just let insults like this be forgotten — for the life of me, I will never understand ...
Former President Trump didn't want to visit a cemetery near Paris for Americans who fought and died in World War I because it was filled with "suckers" and "losers," John Kelly, his longest-serving chief of staff, said in a statement to CNN on Monday.

Talk about “unhinged and appalling” — THIS is his brand. It is his MO.
And it will only become more so, the more it is allowed to fester, unaddressed directly and repeatedly by the very forgetful Free Press.
