Mindmeld, regarding North Korea and Jerusalem, here's the thing.

You have already concluded in your mind that no one of sane mind acts the way Trump does toward North Korea, and no one of sane mind would declare Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. But that's pretty arrogant.

First of all, no one in South Korea is panicking. They've been living under the threat of North Korea for decades now, and even with Trump in office, there isn't anything they haven't seen before. Meanwhile, the Winter Olympics is going on as planned in Pyeongchang, so it seems the IOC isn't as worried as you are about the "mental stability" of Trump.

As for Jerusalem, there were many who cheered the move. Plenty of people in Israel cheered it, as did lots of people here in America. You may disagree with the wisdom of the decision, but to use that as "proof" that Trump is mentally unstable is stupid. You'd have to declare everyone who agreed with that decision as "mentally unstable."

Bottom line is that when you start declaring those who don't agree with your views as "mentally unstable," all bets are off. It won't be long before YOU are declared "mentally unstable" by someone who disagrees with your political views.
