I really do not understand his infatuation with Greenland.

There are no articles suggesting he has schizophrenia though, so randomly making that accusation is out of place. Also, anyone who reads your message, who either deals with schizophrenia themselves, or is close to someone who does, would likely be offended at being compared to actions like this, which we have no reason to assume has any relation to schizophrenia at all.
Noted and thank you. I could have just said Alzheimer's or other hallucinations?
Why exactly do you think has any relation to 'hallucinations' at all?
I do not understand what you're seeing here that calls to mind the idea of him hallucinating.
I've worked with/been around people who say wild things that are a result of hallucinations.
I assume you must be talking about hallucinations that are supported by delusions, although again I have no real idea why Trump's weird but ultimately easy to explain obsession with Greenland would bring that to mind.
Your experience as a medical carer doesn't give you a sufficient understanding of how these disorders and symptoms work to be throwing around diagnoses of public figures because they did or said something that you personally thought was weird.
Schizophrenia is a deeply stigmatized disorder and the intense stigma and fear of schizophrenic people is a MASSIVE part of what makes the disorder so severe. Connecting behavior like this from Trump to the idea of schizophrenia is both completely baseless from a diagnostic perspective AND is a statement that reinforces the stigma of schizophrenic people as being violent and dangerous in an unhinged sense.
Contributing to hostile stigmas like this does nothing but make the lives of the severely mental ill harder, and is a extremely pervasive form of ableism.
You're right, it was a question for someone qualified.
