THE WELLNESS CHECK OF A DYING REPUBLIC

Hakeem Jeffries is calling for a wellness check on Donald Trump. He points to signs of decay. He mentions Obama derangement syndrome. This is the standard theater of a failing system.

The political class is using psychiatric language to avoid real issues. They use labels to replace debate. It is a way to pretend there is still a fight worth having.

The decay is not a prediction. It is a current reality.

Depressing features

• The use of mental health terms as political weapons.
• The death of actual policy discussion.
• The reliance on old grievances to drive new chaos.
