"[I] signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We're going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you got to get the people off the streets. We used to have, when I was growing up, we had in my area in Queens, I grew up in Queens, we had a place called Creedmoor. Creedmoor. Did anybody know that? Creedmoor. It was a big . . . I said, "Mom, why are those bars on the building?" I used to play Little League baseball there at a place called Cunningham Park, I was quite the baseball player you wouldn't believe.
But I said to my mother, "Mom," she would be there always there for me, she said, "Son, you could be a professional baseball player." I said, "Thanks, mom." I said, "Why are those bars on the windows?" Big building, big, powerful building. It loomed over the park actually. She said, "Well, people that are very sick are in that building." I said, "Boy." I used to always look at that building and I'd see it was a big building, big, tall building, it loomed over the park. Now that I think of it, it was a pretty unfriendly sight, but I'll never forget.
I don't know if it's still there because they got rid of most of them. The Democrats in New York, they took them down and the people live on the streets now. And that's why you have a lot of the people in California and other places, they live in the streets. They took the mental institutions down. They're expensive. But I'd say, "Why does that building have those bars? Boy." It wasn't normal. You're used to looking at like a window, but this when you look at it, all this steel, vicious steel, tiny windows, bars all over the place. Nobody was getting out. It's called a mental institution. That was an insane asylum."
Listen to the words of the Stable Genius in Davos, Switzerland yesterday:
"I'm helping Europe. I'm helping NATO, and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me ‘daddy’ right, last time. Very smart man said, ‘He's our daddy. He's running it.’ I was like running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being.
But now what I'm asking for is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection. It's a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades. But the problem with NATO is that, we'll be there for them 100%, but I'm not sure that they be there for us. If we gave them the call, ‘Gentlemen, we are being attacked. We're under attack by such and such a nation.’ I know them all very well, I'm not sure that they'd be there. I know we'd be there for them. I don't know that they'd be there for us. So, with all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat and tears, I don't know that they'd be there for us. They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So, Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."
For the record, he was apparently confusing Greenland with Iceland. Also for the record, after 9/11, NATO did come to our defense in both Afghanistan and Iraq. In Afghanistan, the United Kingdom lost 457 soldiers; Canada, 159; France, 90; Germany, 62; Italy, 53; Poland, 44; Denmark, 43; Spain, 35; Romania, 27; Netherlands, 25; Turkey, 15; Czech Republic, 14; Norway, 10; Estonia, 9; Hungary, 7; Latvia, 4; Slovakia, 3; Albania and Portugal, 2 each; and Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Lithuania, 1 each. Even countries that subsequently joined NATO but weren't members at the time of the Afghan operations came to our assistance and lost troops, including Sweden (5 casualties), Finland (2), and Montenegro (1). Similarly, NATO assisted the U.S. in Iraq, with the United Kingdom losing 179 soldiers; Italy, 33; Poland, 30; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Denmark, 7; Romania and Slovakia, 4 each; Latvia, 3; Estonia and Netherlands, 2 each; and Hungary, Portugal, and the Czech Republic, 1 each.
So there's our so-called leader, embarrassing us on the world stage in Davos, confusing Iceland and Greenland, and telling the leaders of countries that already sacrificed the lives of their own citizens to help us in two dubious military adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan that he didn't think he could count on them to assist the U.S. in a time of need.
The 25th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States gives Congress the authority to declare the President unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. I have no confidence that they would do that and every confidence that they won't, but the Stable Genius is clearly unstable and unfit to lead this country.
