70,699 HEALTH PROS SAY TRUMP HAS SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

The doctor’s said it was their “duty to warn” the American public of Trump’s mental issues

Yes, and a group of top House GOP’s have received a psychological profile of President Trump.  A former adviser of George W. Bush was invited by House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to give an over view of the US / China trade war.  

However, Mr. Larry Lindsay, a former Bush presidential adviser and consultant, he came prepared with his own research on Trump’s character, saying that he had asked some psychologists to evaluate the president.

As we have been saying, those psychologists also said Trump was a, “10 out of 10 narcissist”.  “That’s what he scored,” Lindsey said, clarifying that this wasn’t just his opinion.

Many mental health professionals have attempted to diagnose Trump from a distance.  This is despite the American Psychiatric Association’s “Goldwater rule.”  This is their rule that is supposed to prohibit psychiatrists from assessing public officials without evaluating them in person.

But some of the doctors challenged that rule, arguing it is their “duty to warn” the public if they determined there’s enough obvious evidence that the president has a serious mental health issues. 

In fact, there is a petition to that effect on President Trump, that was signed by 70,699 mental health professionals.

Lindsey continued with more armchair psychology, diagnosing Trump’s behavior as a symptom of his upbringing.  The study also stated that Trump was a classic example of a child whose mother who didn’t pay enough attention to him.  

This made a definite point to me as, in all that’s been written over the years about Donald Trump, when did you ever hear of his mother ever being mentioned…?

Biographers have struggled for years to build a full portrait of Trump’s mother, Mary, a Scottish immigrant who the president has described as a demanding woman with strong Presbyterian faith.  She was also like Trump, in that she also had a love of pageantry and showmanship.  Some executives who knew Trump in the early stages of his career have said that all of the Trump kids were spoiled, yet Mary is only thinly described as a vague figure in Trump’s re-telling of his childhood.

Lindsey also compared Trump’s long-term planning ability to that of an “empty chair.”  He has no capability or interest in looking toward the future.  Think about it.  It is only the “hear and now” that Trump ever deals with.  This is how and why he constantly lies.  He says whatever he needs to say, even if it’s not true, just to get out him of any tight spots.

This mental information about Trump’s behavior was first reported by Politico, but Lindsey was otherwise complimentary about how Trump has handled the China / US trade conflict.

Lindsey also shared a character analysis of Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling him a “sociopath”, a term to which Trump has also been referred.  Lindsay described the “two nations current standoff as existential or an experiment” as he said that neither country can win this duel.  Therefore, Trump and the US have to show it is “standing tough”.   The conversation between China and the US, “ was actually very informative and interesting,” the GOP adviser said.

It was interesting that no members in attendance attempted to challenge Lindsey’s characterization of Trump.  “I think most were a little taken aback, but no one interrupted,” one GOP aide said. “I was surprised McCarthy didn’t [interrupt] since it was his guest.” McCarthy’s spokesman, Matt Sparks, declined to comment.

“It was bizarre and very unclear why he was chosen to be the invited guest,” the second aide said. “It came out of nowhere. I assumed he was invited to talk about the economy, but he went right into the whole psychoanalysis thing.”

As it is with Donald Trump, a person with narcissistic personality disorder will exhibit such traits as a “grandiose sense of self-importance,” and they constantly require “excessive admiration, while they are being arrogant and having pompous behaviors or attitudes.”  Yes, that is our president.

This is all according to the American Psychiatric Association’s criteria for personality disorders, and it is a true description of Donald J. Trump.
