A year ago I was said to be “vindicated”, but we have still not addressed the source of all calamity: the inability to contain a psychological pandemic (and the continual pretense that it is something else).

“[His disinterest in saving lives over self-interest] means he would be equally inclined to destroy the nation or the world — which he has the power to do — if he were to feel humiliated from the loss of an election.”

Yale psychiatrist: Trump's briefings display "anti-human" psychology

Trump's "bottomless need to place his own psychic survival above any protection of the public" will "endanger us all," says Dr. Bandy X. Lee.

A debate presupposes mental health. We cannot pretend to have a debate when management of psychological impairment is what is warranted, and we cannot expect non-professionals to handle a person who requires professional-level care.

His meltdown is inevitable. The question then becomes, will we all go down with him, or salvage ourselves at the same time as getting him some real help?

It should not be a huge leap to “connect the dots” and say: hey, Dr. Mary Trump’s analysis is the same as the 27 mental health experts who published together in 2017, with the panel of top experts who performed a mental capacity evaluation, and the thousands who came forth....

Madeleine Albright said a phrase I often use: “Fascism is not a political ideology.” I usually add: “It is mental pathology writ large.” It would be good if we could finally recognize what we are seeing: disease taking over a system, political or otherwise.

It is dangerously perilous how, after all that has happened, most of the nation still assumes that things will proceed as normal, such as that we will have an election in November.

Impeachment is good at many levels, but the 25th Amendment should happen simultaneously because: 1) It immediately relieves the president of his duties; 2) it is good reality testing; and 3) it further discredits him (which is essential for curbing shared psychosis).

Our inability to call a suicide bomber a suicide bomber relates to our psychology of being unable to call the nation’s number one white supremacist terrorist-instigator a racist....

Those who viewed my interview of Dr. Mary Trump have said it is the best one so far! Do you have any suggestions as to where to publish it? (as you know, I am almost entirely blocked from the mainstream media).

Alan Dershowitz is saying that the gag order is unconstitutional, that you cannot prevent a defendant from attacking witnesses. Well, that is called witness intimidation and witness tampering, and it is a crime.

That the mental health field has been silent about what is, essentially, a mental health problem in the president—which is why he can only worsen pandemics and fuel flames but not solve them—is unconscionable. I call specifically on the American Psychiatric Association.

As I have frequently said, fascism is not an ideology but mental pathology in politics. It follows all the characteristics of disease, and it will inhabit functioning organisms/organizations like disease to destroy them, if we do not stop it.

I am repeating what a good friend has suggested: Today would be a good day to invoke the 25th Amendment. It would resolve a medical need.

Donald Trump has now apparently compared himself to Jesus, the only man more famous than himself! To the degree that this sounds extraordinary, it indicates extraordinary levels of stress.

Donald Trump cannot wait to deploy the military. If he goes ahead in bypassing the governor and the mayor of Minneapolis, he will have reached the point we warned against: the point at which he is uncontainable.

#ArrestTrumpNow I can agree to that. Having promised to pardon January 6 seditionists and terrorists, he proves guilty mind on top of guilty act. Now all criteria are met for criminal responsibility.
