Recently, within the last few days, the President mused that he thought it would be good idea to have a Fourth of July Celebration in the nations capitol with fire works and a parade as if it was a new idea of his. He gave every indication that he was oblivious to the already existing, long standing tradition of celebrating the Nations birthday in Washington D.C. This, despite his having been President for the last two such celebrations.
While we're on the subject of psychotic breaks from reality and personality disorders I would offer your post as a classic example of TDS. How is it that you can tell he is making these statements as if this is somehow a new idea to him? You guys on the left take everything he says and does, analyze it through your left leaning ideology and Orange Man bad narrative, then come up with another, might be, could be, seems like scenario that you then run with as if your conjecture is fact.
And Indians, and even those claiming to be black who aren't black. Cultural appropriation is the new thing for leftist politicians. Have a few men claiming to be women as well at the lower levels of politics. Anything but being a white male. Rumor has it Old Joe is sweating a sex change to be competitive.
They are medical guidelines. They are also HIPPA compliance guidelines. State Medical Boards can remove licenses of shrinks who violate them. It is long overdue that state medical boards start taking appropriate actions against those who violate medical standards.
Why not decide for yourself. See if it sounds to you like he knows there is already a parade. I big one as a matter of fact.
I dont need a medical degree to claim he is a narcissist....anyone who denies he is a narcissist needs diret personal examination haha...
Here are excerpts from another point of view from retired Duke University Psychiatrist Allen Francis. https://www.statnews.com/2017/09/06/donald-trump-mental-illness-diagnosis/ To qualify for narcissistic personality disorder, an individual’s selfish, unempathetic preening must be accompanied by significant distress or impairment. Trump certainly causes severe distress and impairment in others, but his narcissism doesn’t seem to affect him that way. [Editorial comment: This was the author's observation after less than a year of Trump's Presidency. I wonder what his opinion would be today. Were Trump to lose his job because of criminal behavior associated with his sociopathic narcissism, would that qualify as distress or impairment? Was Trump's choice of associates affected by his sociopathic narcissism? Does having Mueller indicting his associates, one after the other, now cause any distress in President Trump that may not have been evident in the Summer of 2017, when the author penned this article? ] Diagnosing President Donald Trump’s alleged mental disorder has become a popular pastime, not just among mental health professionals but also among politicians, journalists, pundits, comedians, and ordinary people gathered at coffee breaks. Trump’s consistently bizarre sayings and doings have triggered a bill to establish a commission “on presidential capacity” and a suggestion that the president be removed from office via the 25th Amendment on the grounds that he is mentally unfit to be president. A recent Time poll indicates that many Americans think that Trump is unfit for office. I also believe we made a terrible mistake electing him. But Trump’s disagreeable traits in no way indicate that he is mentally ill. Instead, they reveal him to be the ruthless self-promoter he has always been, now poorly cloaked in fake populist clothing. ... Assigning psychological disorders to Trump is not only wrong but futile. Vice President Pence, the Cabinet, and Congress would never invoke the 25th Amendment because it would amount to political suicide for everyone concerned and for the Republican Party. Any psychological fitness exam would also be inherently biased and unreliable. My guess is that Trump will eventually be removed from power, but via the appropriate investigative and political process, not a psychiatric evaluation. I believe that Trump is a mirror of the American soul, a surface symptom of our deeper societal disease. He may not be crazy, but we certainly were for electing him. We mustn’t waste this Trumpian dark age. If we don’t learn from it, we will keep making the same mistakes. Allen Frances, M.D., was chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University and also chaired the task force responsible for revising the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. He is the author of “Twilight of American Sanity: A Psychiatrist Analyzes the Age of Trump” (William Morrow, September 2017).
Booker also has an imaginary friend named T-Bone. I am not joking. Remember 'T-Bone,' Cory Booker's Imaginary Drug Dealer Friend? The New Jersey senator is a friend of criminal justice reform, but his best friend might steal the spotlight.
