The worst thing about this deranged ideologue aren't the signs of serious mental illness that she shows in this article; it's that she's convinced a serial criminal who's now President of the United States to actually listen to her.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

A lot of this has to do with the fact that President Shitbomber's narcissism doesn't allow him the luxury of changing his mind on the basis of contradictory evidence.
