LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May has dismissed concerns about Donald Trump’s mental fitness, saying the U.S. president acts in what he sees as the best interests of his country.
A new book by journalist Michael Wolff quotes prominent Trump advisers as questioning the president’s competence.
Asked in an interview whether she thought concerns about Trump’s mental state were serious, May said: “No.”

Asspress will ask somebody else tomorrow, then generate a story about it. They are snakes.
That was my thought too.
In addition, watching Great Britain right now, refusing to face reality with it’s massive immigrant problems, I sure can’t say the same for Theresa May, or that jackass mayor of Londonistan. (Yes I know what his heredity is. Enough said.)
If you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth, this is what they are trying to do
Thing is, like all other lies about Trump, they go nowhere, and damage the credibility of those who perpetrate them.
I have read Solzhenitsyn and that mental fitness accusation slander is strictly out of Stalinist Russia. The only possible reason someone deviated from the announced party line, it was contended, was because that person was mentally deranged and needed to be sent to a re-education camp to have his mind set straight.
The democrat Stalinists use the same subjective technique today because objective facts belie their contentions.
That was exactly my reaction too, and I am surprised that the repulsive May didn’t fall right in line with this nonsense.
This president has been offered the most vile insults both from our left and Europeans. They insult him they insult me and all others who voted for him.
As I read it, the headline seemed to suggest that Theresa May has no concerns about President Trump's mental state. This inferring that he HAS a mental state and she has no concerns about it.
I would read that Prime Minister Theresa May is saying that he has NO mental disorder. The duplicity and vile deviousness of the press is of the order of Orwellian proportions.
Especially with the kenyan gallivanting around the globe thinking he is POTUS while undermining a sitting POTUS. If anybody is delusional it is the kenyan and his Democrat supporters.
If she were not a head of state, she would be joining democrats in making the same charge.
They are lower than a snakes. A snake, other than the very first snake, is not a seditionist, nor a traitor.
JFTR, May isn’t a head of state; she’s the head of government. The Queen is the head of state.
The queen is just a figurehead, with hardly any powers. May is, in reality, the head of the British government, therefore, head of state. Technicalities are worthless when practicalities matter more.
And, yeah, I know what you mean, but still, May is more important when it comes to the government in the UK.
Nope; head of state and head of government are still separate. All laws still require royal assent, the monarch still convenes and dissolves Parliament, and the monarch still has reserve powers (e.g. refusal of assent) although the leftists have bullied the monarchy into usually not using them. No foreign power recognizes the head of government as head of state, furthermore.
When other “heads of state” visit the UK, they meet with the PM, in this case, May. They don’t meet with the queen in order to work out “heads of state” stuff.
The US president is both head of state and government. That would make it a meeting between heads of government, in such cases where the POTUS meets with his equivalent head of government.
In other countries in Europe that do not have monarchs, the president is the head of state (but not head of government) and performs similar ceremonial duties to a monarch. That is usually the case with most parliamentary systems that are not constitutional monarchies.
Even in Canada, the prime minister is only head of government; the governor general acts as the head of state, being the Queen’s representative and viceroy, performing royal assent duties and also convening and dissolving the parliament, although the Queen is head of state.
The queen or monarch, or whatever you want to call her/them, are not legislators nor policy-makers, nor negotiators, nor head of the military or chief foreign policy decision-makers.
The monarchy, if it were to be dissolved, would not matter a bit when it comes to running the government. The queen and the entire monarchy are “disposable” and unneeded and just a remnant of their history, but with no “real power”. As such, the power belongs in parliament and in the prime minister.
So, what was the last real policy or decision made by the queen or the monarchy, which made a difference in how the UK runs the government and/or made a difference to anywhere else in the world, other than as the “unofficial head” of the country?
Does not mean they are not head of state.
The presidents of parliamentary republics also do not make policy or engage in negotiations, nor are officially heads of their countries’ military. They are also still heads of state, and their prime ministers are not.
Having the monarch take on the duties of a prime minister shifts the balance away from constitutional monarchy towards absolute monarchy.
The many countries in which the Head of State is distinct from the head of government include such widely diverse states as Israel, Germany, Italy and the Republic of Ireland.
And incidentally, when foreign Heads of State visit the UK, they do so as guests of the Queen, and their meetings with the head of government are incidental. When heads of government visit, the visit is downgraded to an Official Visit rather than a State Visit.
Among Western democracies/republics, the United States is rather unusual in having Head of State and Head of Government in the same person, though France is another example.
