Plenty of presidents that are Narcissists but I don’t think that a schizophrenic would last a day in that office.
Too much stress involved.

Do become a politician you have to had studied law or political science or be a celebrity like Schwarzenegger or Trump.

Not in America. Some states require that you have to be a resident for x amount of time. Then you have to get enough sigs to get on the ballot. Those are the only stipulations.

Local government would be easier to get in I think. I’m not into politics, though I used to fantasize about it before the SZ hit. Would have been cool to be a Libertarian senator like Rand Paul or Ron Paul. I’m not Libertarian anymore. Politics isn’t for me. I think I’d hate it.

There are also donated contributions to your political campaign which funds your run for office. Signs, commercials, ads etc… need to be paid for somehow.

That’s not required to run for office.

I like you @Tyme this could be a delusion of grandeur though. I’ve had lots of those.

You also have to be able to speak publicly in front of many voters and rally support for your cause.

I value my integrity above all else. As a joke I do have my BS degree though.

I look at it like this. What’s the worse that can happen? I lose. Then I’ll be in the same boat as before.

The number one pillar of my platform would be mental health.

Voters are going to require you to disclose your medical history to justify if you are fit for office. Having schizophrenia brings up a red flag.

I’ll say it loud and proud. Let the cards fall where they may.

I think mental health being the number one pillar of my platform could work to my advantage. Not many politicians care about mental health. That is why I think I could win votes and fundraise off it.
