How come when this guy has a public nervous break down it's big news, but when the rest of us have one it's "suck it up and get therapy?"
I want people to get worried about the country when I have a nervous breakdown.
How is your nuclear engineering? You could potentially make folks quite nervous, indeed.
I have no certifications, but I do understand more than I need to about PWR and BWR plants. I mean, I couldn't run a plant myself, I don't know what all the buttons do, and I don't know the various smaller parts and components.
I mean if you gave me time and low enriched nuclear fuel, a machinist, an electronics technician, and some money to buy other components and generators I could probably get one built. Would it be safe? Unlikely, but it would work.
But that's also sort of the same lines as, yes technically I've worked on a flight control computer for commercial air craft, or heart pumps. I've definitely been capable of working on missile control systems but I decided I didn't like the idea of building weapons.
So I mean, in all, how worried I make other people is entirely dependent on what makes people worry.
Being commander in chief seems to make a lot of people worry without a lot of effort
Had Trump not regularly insulted people who seek out therapy there might be a bit more sympathy for the situation he finds himself in.
