++Kurt Eichenwald at Newsweek wrote a cover story about Trump's 500 overseas partnerships and their nefarious business investors. Bad enough it gets short schriff but buried in the piece near the end is a reference to the Donald having been committed to a mental institution in the 1990s.
++Remember that was the time the Donald was going into serial bankruptcy owing more than $3.5 billion. He was undergoing painful plastic surgery for the treatment of his baldness. His mentor and connection to the mob Roy Cohen died of AIDS. As we see from this week's lawsuit, it was a time he raped a 14-year old young woman. And his wife claims in their divorce papers, he raped her. Also he was known at the time to be a speed freak getting regular injections. Now whether he was institutionalized to avoid creditors or his divorce, who knows? But it was a traumatic time.
++But we don't see any of this in our coverage of the Donald. If Thomas Eagleton gets pilloried for his shock treatments in 1972,at least we should have public discussion of Donald's mental health at the time of his greatest personal crisis. It was give the voter a clue of how he handles stress.At least Richard Nixon got a book out of his.
