President Trump's early morning e-mail onslaughts show him to be evermore a demented angry old man out of touch with reality. It is a sad case as an impaired individual but a massive danger and scandal as a stricken President.

On April 24, between midnight and 2:45 a.m. ,Trump posted 19 social media messages. He renewed the flow at 7:30 a.m., which may explain his falling asleep  in the midst of an Oval Office meeting later that day.

Trump's rambling rants featured familiar targets such as requiring Senator Schumer to resign and charging Obama and Hilary Clinton
with treason. As always, he insisted that the 2020 election had been stolen from him in a Democratic "hoax." Trump demanded that all records of Biden's victory be "permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect."

Beyond such delusional outbursts there were deeply troubling messages regarding the war with Iran. Trump falsely claimed that V.P. Vance was headed to Pakistan for peace talks, perhaps to give the stock market a boost  Of course he said that he had "won"
the war. He also said that mine sweepers were at work in the Strait of Hormuz and urged that the effort be tripled. There are no U.S. minesweepers in action in the Strait.

How can we keep someone with such demonstrable disordered and failing mental incapacity serving as Commander in Chief and
custodian of the nuclear codes?  What do our allies think? More critical is the issue what do our adversaries think and how will
they take advantage of this dangerous situation?  It is time for a serious effort to remove Donald Trump from the Presidency.
