RE: The humanitarian use of Article 25 to remove Mr. Trump from office for his own welfare and to preserve our country’s stability as a democratic republic.
Through no fault of his own, childhood events beyond Mr. Trump’s control were psychologically damaging and diminished his ability to sympathize, empathize, identify with, or understand the perspective of others. Through no fault of his own, Mr. Trump continues to be unable to put the welfare of others or the country over his personal desires in the moment.
Synopsis: According to information published by family members and close relatives, Mr. Trump and at least one of his siblings suffered lifelong post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) as young children. This was a direct result of several difficult and ongoing family problems that trace back to a life-threatening medical emergency that his mother suffered when Donald was only two years old.
These traumatic events in Mr. Trump’s very early childhood were psychologically damaging to him as a two-year-old child. He was not yet able to talk, ask questions, or understand complicated concepts such as “we had to take your mother to the hospital”, or “your mother loves you very much but she got so sick that we had to take her to the hospital. As soon as she gets better, she’ll come home and give you hugs and and kisses let you sit on her lap.”
He also would not have been able to give voice to his fears or have any ability to get his critical emotional needs met. For him, the normal childhood needs for consistent affection and emotional security were never met. As a consequence, his ability as an adult to sympathize, empathize, and/or understand the perspective of other people is deeply impaired.
Trump’s traumatic childhood & its long-term consequences
Through no fault of his own, Mr. Trump suffered a life-changing event when he was only two years old that resulted in profound and prolonged childhood trauma. This began when his mother had a life-threatening medical emergency that initially was unknown to the rest of her family and continued for several hours before her dire condition was discovered.
She was rushed to the hospital, and emergency surgery was immediately performed. However, her condition was so critical that she had to remain in the hospital for more than a month. After returning home, she was bedridden for an additional six months and so physically and mentally frail that she was mostly sequestered from the rest of the family, including two-year-old Donald.
During this considerable period of time, two-year-old Donald was suddenly and traumatically separated from his mother by her prolonged hospitalization. This was before he could talk or understand verbal explanations for why his mother was gone. Even after she was discharged from the hospital, her condition was such that she was still not able to be psychologically available to her family for many more months.
At that stage of life, the separation of a child from its mother is always a traumatic experience. In addition, it is inevitably internalized by the child as a punishment for having done something wrong or displeasing to his mother. The child’s loss of its mother’s affection and her personal attention often leaves a large psychological “hole” in the psyche that can result in a number of interpersonal difficulties later in life.
Unfortunately for two-year-old Donald, his psychological needs were not acknowledged or addressed at the time. To make matters worse, no alternative arrangements were made to address two-year-old Donald’s critical need for a stable and consistent one-on-one relationship with an affectionate and responsible adult.
Small children desperately need and require adult affection and attention almost as much as breathing oxygen and consuming healthy food. This includes the consistent and prolonged presence of an affectionate mother-figure that is vital to the normal mental development of all young children.
Surely, anyone who knows the story of Mr. Trump’s extraordinarily difficult childhood could not help but feel a great deal of sympathy and compassion for him and his predicament.
As a result of his post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), and through no fault of his own, Mr. Trump is functionally unable to put the welfare of other people, or the country as a whole, over his personal concern with his own well-being.
Article 25 should be utilized as a humanitarian intervention to relieve Mr. Trump of these burdens by removing him from his role as president and thanking him for his service to the American people
Sincerely,
Faith Gibson ^O^
