Science Is Trump actually losing mental competence?

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm going to declare myself the president of the Virgin Islands and show up to the White House for a meeting with Trump.

Don't be stupid. He knows it's this guy:

Malpractice. They cannot make a diagnosis without an in person evaulation.

Their gravy train is ending, so they're lashing out in a fit of petulance!

Better find real jobs, because profiting by convincing people they are victims is a dying industry.

Trump vs. Psychiatrists: Who's Crazier?

Only seven months into his puzzling presidency, Donald Trump has accomplished an odd achievement: He’s made Sigmund Freud relevant again. Although the father of psychoanalysis is no longer fashionable, the Freudian concept of psychological projection is alive and well.

“I think he’s crazy,” said Sen. Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat, speaking into an open microphone about Trump. J. Brien Comey, father of fired FBI director Jim Comey, thinks Trump belongs “in an institution.” Conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin has questioned the president’s “mental stability.”

These aren’t isolated examples. Many prominent liberals, conservatives, moderates, and libertarians have concluded that the president is off his rocker. The tangible evidence for that proposition is thin, and Trump seems to be enjoying himself more and more. Maybe we’re all just projecting.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is the phrase used by those sympathetic to the president to explain liberals’ hair-on-fire response to anything Trump says or does. TDS is also an occupational hazard of being a member of the Republican establishment or a movement conservative who cares about such trite concepts as political principles.

...

A new book arrived, unsolicited, in the mail recently with a long title: “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” The cover gives the game away, but the publisher also included a foreword from 91-year-old psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who offers the melodramatic view that clinicians who don’t warn the world about Donald Trump’s shortcomings are akin to Nazi doctors who worked at Auschwitz. At the risk of practicing medicine without a license, I’d suggest that this historical comparison is de facto evidence of TDS -- and paranoid grandiosity.

A better title would have been “27 Angry Democrats With Advanced Degrees Who Voted Against Trump and Say He’s Crazy Although They’ve Never Met Him.” Lifton and others associated with this project are part of something called the “Duty to Warn” project. The word “duty” is a term of art, given that since 1973, the American Psychiatric Association had cautioned its members against diagnosing patients they’ve not personally evaluated. Although this seems like common sense, it’s more than that: It’s a hard-earned lesson. It’s called the “Goldwater Rule,” and it comes from the 1964 presidential campaign.

Denny's response: "Sore loser. Elections have consequences. Also, there's no convincing evidence that eating feces is harmful. Scientists who say otherwise are biased. And his daughter is considered by many to be an attractive woman, so there is nothing unusual there. It's petty to criticize the president for the way he dresses, bet you didn't say anything when Obama wore a tan suit. "

FTFY.

Denny's response to this fantasy would be the man is sick.

But it is fantasy, not reality, so I go with reality and objectivity.

Denny and objectivity go together like peanut butter and canned tuna.

What's the psychiatric term for someone who doesn't live in reality? "Delusion" comes to mind.

A few weeks before Election Day last year, Clinton challenged Donald Trump to say that he would unconditionally accept the results on Nov. 8. It was a perfect gotcha question for someone of Trump's temperament and he spent days hemming and hawing and publicly weighing various nightmare hypotheticals, but eventually he said that he maybe kind-of would.

It is now clear that someone should have asked Clinton the same question.

Clinton still isn't accepting "the legitimacy of the election," as she put it. And why should she, when she knows that more than 200,000 undisclosed individuals in Wisconsin were prevented from voting — they must be the cousins of all those illegal immigrants who, according to Trump, pulled the lever for her in New Hampshire — and that every single one of them supported her? Why, if you believe that miscellaneous "Russians" — at one point she referred to a generic character named "Igor," which is funny if your level of engagement with Russian culture does not extend far beyond Rocky and Bullwinkle horizons — bought Twitter ads in the hope of targeting 60- and 70-something union retirees in Macomb County, Michigan, would you not think you really won?

It’s satire. Funny as hell, but satire nonetheless.

The problem is people believe it.

The problem is people believe it.

The problem today is that people are too willing to believe whatever bullshit is placed in front of them.....especially if it supports their own personal narrative. Not enough folks out there willing to dig for the facts.....and that’s perfectly fine with both the Republicans and the Democrats. People in general are a bunch of sheep.....

Ironic that you cite Vox (via apple news). It really proves your point (about bullshit...)

If Mueller proves his case, I'd want Trump impeached and removed from office.

How does that fit the narrative?

My only point is that people believe what they want to believe....or what is most convenient for them to believe. It’s not restricted to political parties or individual ideologies. Leave it to you to make it a partisan thing. But then, you are so hung up in your pathological hatred for Hillary (along with a striking need to always be “right”) you’ve lost all objectivity. Kind of a one trick pony for the most part....

I didn't make it a partisan thing. I responded to the Vox article that YOU linked.



I wrote that it does matter.

I think you're infatuated with making everything about me. I don't have that kind of ego.

So you didn’t really read the article because it’s a “left wing” source.....got it.

I read the article. Thanks for posting the link.

I found it ironic that it exactly proved your point about believing whatever bullshit is placed in front of them (by Vox or Fox, it doesn't matter).

 

[Denny Crane]

Vox isn't making things partisan, right?

That's from your link.
