So the US voted in a demented narcissist .
Clap clap clap
A huffington post blog! Wow, credible. Although I despise Trump, I also hate the trillion violations of the goldwater rule, which is an APA guideline that says you can't diagnose a public official with a mental condition without a personal examination. This is both a scientific stance and a obviously practical political stance, because otherwise political partisans would diagnose every politician with Narcissistic personality disorder. It's almost a prerequisite of the job. Serious medical professionals all know the Goldwater rule however, so of course that whole blog post is nonsense. The last thread here that made that claim, the 'serious medical professional' (I think they used that exact term) ran a hypnotherapy office in New Jersey.
Being against Trump doesn't mean you have to believe everything negative said about him, especially when it clearly is something that goes against scientific guidelines established by the leading psychological institute in the US.
