Trump Exhibits Symptoms of a Messiah Complex

Today, Donald Trump looked at the sky and proclaimed: “I am the Chosen One.”  After seeing the video of him saying this, one Trump fan wrote: “He was chosen for the task at hand… I'll go further.  He WAS chosen by God to save America.”  https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/21/i-am-the-chosen-one-trump-proclaims-as-he-defends-china-trade-war.html
Our country is in deep trouble.  The person occupying the White House is becoming more mentally unstable each day. And, some of his supporters are beginning to see him as a God who can do no wrong.
Trump, who is clearly a destructive narcissist, has become even more delusional.  There is a name for the mental disorder is now exhibiting—Messiah Complex. 
“…the symptoms of the(Messiah Complex) closely resemble those found in individuals suffering from delusions of grandeur or that they have grandiose self-images that veer towards the delusional
The messiah complex is most often reported in patients suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. …

Consider this from an article on the Messiah Compex.  The world has seen the damage a politician with a Messiah Complex can do if left unchecked.  
Adolf Hitler is considered to have had an acute case of the messiah complex. This was evident in his preoccupation with himself as a political actor, his meticulous concern for his self-presentation, and his identification with himself as the savior of the German people. Hitler believed that he was fated to lead Germany to a thousand-year-long period of European domination and that he was chosen to rid Europe of undesirable people.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_complex  
Now change this quote to read Donald Trump instead of Adolf Hitler and America instead of Germany and Europe so that it reads:
Donald Trump has and acute case of the messiah complex. This is evident in his preoccupation with himself as a political actor, his meticulous concern for his self-presentation, and his identification with himself as the savior of the American people.Trump believes that he is fated to lead America to a thousand-year-long period of American domination and that he was chosen to rid America of undesirable people
Most people reading the altered quote I just presented would agree that it is an accurate description of  Donald Trump.  If that doesn't bother you, it should.
It is unlikely that Trump will be impeached and removed from office.  But, he is too mentally unstable to be re-elected and given 4 more years in office.  
Vote Democrat in 2020 and ONLY Democrat.  Do it for yourself.  Do it for your country.
