Trump's Prediction Should Scare the Public from Voting for Him

    Coming from Donald Trump, you have to wonder if he -- supposing he is re-elected -- is going to have special counsel Jack Smith and others committed to a mental institution.
   Commenting on his Truth Social website, Trump predicted that Smith and other Justice Department officials will end up "suffering from a horrible disease, TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (TDS!), in a Mental Institution by the time my next term as President is successfully completed."
   Of course, there is one little hangup. Trump has no authority to send someone to a mental institution. But, who knows what hold he will take on government. Who knows but what he will widen his power so he can simply issue a presidential decree, and off to the mental institution they go.
   Notice his post on Truth Social says they will end up in the mental institution while he is in office. He doesn't leave it open to their going to the institution sometime later. Rather he suggests it will happen while he is in office, while he is in power, while he is in control so he can make it happen.
   The millions of Trump supporters will see no danger in what Trump is saying. They will scoff at the suggestion he will send political opponents to a mental institution. But words have meaning. He said it will happen. He said it will happen while he is in office. Would to heaven that the American people could see the danger in his words. This Truth Social post, all by itself, should scare the people from voting for him. If you hear someone make such a comment, and react by saying, Yeah, I'll still vote for him, heaven help us.
