Is Trump mentally ill? Or is America? Psychiatrists weigh in.
In particular,
Quote:Now, some psychiatrists and other mental-health professionals are shedding long-held norms to argue that Trump’s condition presents risks to the nation and the world. “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” features more than two dozen essays breaking down the president’s perceived traits, which the contributors find consistent with symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder, sociopathy and other maladies.
Exactly, as I said, sociopathy is (alone) inadequate. He is also a malignant narcissist, (or has NPD if you prefer). Totally agree!!
The question then becomes, is an unstable narcissist more dangerous than Mike Pence? Personally I'm torn. Yes, it would be nice to have a pres who isn't tweeting insults at world leaders at 3am. But Pence will methodically destroy more social nets and true religious liberties in favor of a Christian state. On the other other hand, Trump is already pretty much doing all the things the Dominionists want him to do, so I guess better a stable dominionist than an unstable puppet? IDK!!
