What is ADHD? Here are the symptoms.
Inattention: Six or more symptoms of inattention for children up to age 16, or five or more for adolescents 17 and older and adults; symptoms of inattention have been present for at least 6 months, and they are inappropriate for developmental level:
- Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or with other activities.
- Often has trouble holding attention on tasks or play activities.
- Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly.
- Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (e.g., loses focus, side-tracked).
- Often has trouble organizing tasks and activities.

- Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities (e.g. school materials, pencils, books, tools, wallets, keys, paperwork, eyeglasses, mobile telephones).

So, why diagnose an entire country with this illness?
First, let’s list some major problems facing the country.
1. We spend more than we make, hence we have a $20 trillion debt
2. Our house is falling down. Roads, bridges, airports, etc.
3. We give away billions to make friends and they hate us. (see 1, above). We call this foreign aid.
4. We host an endless party and every guest despises us. ( we call this the United Nations)
5. We are the world’s cop but we hate cops here at home.
6. We hire lawyers to run the country but almost no successful company has a lawyer running the company
7. Our government is incapable of running anything efficiently but we hire people who want the government to run everything(post office, Amtrak, Freddie and Fannie Mae, etc.)
I could go on and on. The list is endless. But, you get the point, right? If not you may be one of 11 million adults who have ADHD in this country.
So, we hire a businessman to fix the problems(Trump).
In his first 60 days in office, what has been the national focus?
1. Did he collude with the Russians to win the election.
2. Did the former president wiretap his campaign?
3. Having the Democrats preen for the TV cameras for 60 days challenging every nominee he has named to fix 1-7(above). This is why business doesn’t hire lawyers to run their companies.
4. Climate change: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=evz28YKCPCo
How does this happen? The media in this country sets the agenda for the country. The media are far left liberal well-meaning folks who have no interest in 1-7(above). The level of ADHD in that profession is 100%. Their focus is how do we prevent ever having another Trump if we can’t get rid of the one we have like we did with Nixon. The consumers of their propaganda keep buying it even though it’s obvious that it’s not news.
So, that’s how we got where we are and why we may never fix the problem. Until those of us who can see the big picture and are not biased by a corrupt media with ADHD and an agenda to make us a Socialist failure like the media( NY Times owned by Carlos Slim), the bankrupt failures like Detroit, Puerto Rico, and the state of Illinois(broke and borrowing money and losing population at an alarming rate) grow tired of their pimping for a cause that we detest, we will stay focused on the wrong problems.
Unless, the businessman we hired, who is focused on the big picture, brings down the media and gets the country working with him on the right solutions.
