Trump’s Mental Health is now a National and Global Emergency

“What do you think is most likely to happen next with Donald Trump, if his behavior continues along this path?

We can be quite certain of certain things based on probability and Donald Trump's pattern of behavior. The American people will be in far greater danger. With Donald Trump there will be unacceptable levels of danger of him either destroying the United States or perhaps even human civilization. Donald Trump is a national emergency. That should be the No. 1 priority at this time. The American people and the country's leaders are not treating this dire situation with the attention it demands. The fact that this is not being treated as a national and global emergency is the greatest sign of danger.”

Regarding the analyses performed by Yale psychiatrist Band Lee prior to the latest episode, cited above:

Everything Trump does is driven by his narcissism and insecurities. 

Oh, please.  This is hardly a credible web site for factual mental health information about any high profile individual.  The language alone, e.g. "we convened a panel of mental health experts", with no citations would clue even the most clueless that this fits in with those "Doctor-Developed Diet Cures Cancer, Consitpation, and Athletes Feet" type 'article'. 

Congratulations to Blonde!!!  Mark and PJ are welcoming you to the looney left of this forum!

I've always respected your Vegas info, but your politics are pathetic.  Salon?  Really? 

Candy, I know you that you are a smart educated person. Try and remove yourself from your politics. Can you honestly say Trump's excessive exaggeration and outright lying about himself isn't a blaring sign of narcissistic personality disorder? You know he is the best negotiator, the smartest businessman, the best golfer, he graduated number one in his class, he exaggerates his wealth, he constantly pisses downward, he can't let any perceived slight go unanswered and he often perceives slights when there are none. 

Hell, take his known public behavior and answer this short quiz. I think it will give you an accurate assessment.  

Mark is upset with President Trump because he won't take any crap from the press and the lying DemocRats. And you will never see him apologizing for being a proud American. By the way, President Trump can brag all he wants - he has done more for this nation in less that 3 years than that ass kissing traitor and liar Obeyme did in 8 years. 

Mark, did I mention Trump in my post?  No.  

My beef is with "tabloid psychiatry" (great term, by the way).  I would extend it to "tabloid medicine", easily found (online, TV, grocery check out) and enthusiastically taken as factual by 1) folks desperate for a cure for something (which is most of us), and, 2) folks looking for confirmation of tightly held beliefs.   It isn't so easy for the average surfer to locate legitimate professional peer reviewed information on mental health or any condition or disease or disorder.  And any that are found will not be refrigerator magneted with ads, as this one is.  Salon, indeed.

As an "armchair psychiatrist" (love that one, too), Ms. Lee is free to embarrass herself and her institution.  She just might have put her reputation, her job and perhaps her license at risk, unless she personally examined the president under guidelines of her profession, and then obtained his written consent to submit her findings publicly.

Lots of armchair psychiatrists claimed President Obama was narcissistic too.  He just gave a speech in April where he mentioned himself 437 times.  IN ONE SPEECH.

No competent doctor would diagnose a personality disorder without in depth personal interviews and testing. Fact of the matter is that it's just a smear campaign....and the people spreading this sort of drivel remind me a lot of Jussie Smollett.  Anything you can imagine to stain Trump is OK because he's your enemy.  It's classic Trump Derangement.....and we don't need a personal interview or testing to see that.

Wait a minute ! ! !   Did poor old DonDiego just read that there is now diet which cures constipation and athlete's foot ? ? ?

DonDiego requests a source for this development; he is asking for a friend. 

item ii:

Mark writes of President Trump that he lies about himself "always pissing downward".

For the record poor old DonDiego always pisses downward; not only is this his preference but it is also consistent with the Law of Gravity and maintaining personal hygiene.
