Trump is mentally ill.

Yesterday the White House press corps ( @Yamiche) asked him about the numerous *televised, hourlong political rallies he held across the country* in February and March.

His response was that he hasn& #39;t left the White House in months.

Trump is mentally ill.

I& #39;m sorry, but you can& #39;t have a president who& #39;s profoundly deranged like this during a national crisis. And if you do, the whole nation must take evasive action immediately to protect itself from his influence—by which I mean, simply, that he can no longer be covered live.

Ever.

This has to be the turning point for media.

It& #39;s time to call it. You can& #39;t cover Trump live anymore—ever. Nor should you show any video of him in which he lies—which means you basically won& #39;t show video of him.

He did rallies and went to India and said he was in DC. It& #39;s over.

We can& #39;t keep normalizing Trump& #39;s dangerous derangement by broadcasting it. We couldn& #39;t really do it before, but *certainly* can& #39;t when tens of thousands of Americans are dying and the lunatic is urging people to congregate in armed groups to unlawfully break stay-at-home orders.

At some point we must become—to steal a phrase from Shakespeare—"capable of our own distress." America *must* protect itself from collapse by not broadcasting the deranged ravings of a profoundly disturbed man who doesn& #39;t care if any American lives or dies or if America survives.
