Some think Donald Trump is mentally ill. I remember an elder who behaved like DT. Impulsive, obsessive, etc. At an elder's mtg he said God showed him a certain woman in the church was a Jezebel. He had a sex dream about her. Pastor went along with it. Pastor had already been accused of sexual inappropriateness. The elder's wife even chimed in. The Jezebel was trying to steal her husband.
To think all the years. I spent at that funny farm called the LW.
