Top psychiatrist: Trump’s ‘mental impairment’ poses danger to the world
What if you knew a truth about someone that harboured dangers of such magnitude that it could be the key to future human survival? What if that “someone” happened to be the President of the United States? And what if you were told to keep silent about it?
Dr. Lee speaks to FRANCE 24’s Douglas Herbert about Donald Trump’s state of mind, and why remaining silent just wasn’t an option:

Doctor that's right MD not PhD, (which means even though she studied it, she is not a psychiatrist) and a master of divinity as well....
Biography
Dr. Bandy Lee is a violence studies specialist. Trained as a psychiatrist at Yale and Harvard Universities, she focused on public-sector work as chief resident and on anthropological research in East Africa as a fellow of the National Institute of Mental Health. In addition, she worked in several maximum-security prisons throughout the United States, consulted with governments in Ireland and France, and helped to set up violence prevention programs both in the U.S. and abroad. She is currently on the faculty of the Law and Psychiatry Division and teaches students representing asylum seekers or studying to become public defenders at Yale Law School. She also served as Director of Research for the Center for the Study of Violence, as consultant to the World Health Organization and several other United Nations agencies. Her interests are in global health approaches to violence prevention and interdisciplinary discourse.
Education & Training
I would say that she is probably not real interested in the President or what he stands for politically. Seems to me that her loyalties are to the UN and the liberals that support such.
It seems to me that the truth about Donald Trump is blatantly obvious. It doesn't take a trained psychiatrist to see that the guy has a couple screws loose either. The question is; why don't we do something about it? How can 40% of Americans still approve of this screwball?
E.A ok Lets check the Facts:
What is Killing more each day The PANDEMIC brought about by the Misuse of sex organs or an out of control president?
"Eight thousand people die of AIDS each day, in terms of mortality that's a tsunami every fortnight," said Annick Hamel
Hmm.. According to the The Doctors without borders 8.000/Day..
ok I wait for your evidence and counterpoint!
A Correction to a DR that does not know what an Acronym is::
AIDS. the last letter S is for SYNDROME.
NO one can/has/will dies from a SYNDROME, but they will succumb to many factors and pathogens that lead to IT!
How is it a 'misuse of sex organs' to use them for sex?
You are comparing the president to AIDS?? Wow, EA, you must despise the man more than I do!
E.A WOW so you do not know how Say a Spanner, can be misused while attempting to remove a NUT, that says so much about your In-depth knowledge, is that due to HIV medication ?
You do know that you don't get AIDS from "misusing your sex organs" right? You can only get it from having unprotected sex with someone who is already infected or sharing a dirty needle with them. You can do all the craziest sex acts you want with someone who's not infected and you're not going to get AIDS.
As for comparing Trump to an autoimmune disease, yes, he is a virulent infection that poses a massive risk to everyone living in the United States. His irresponsible tweets ratchet up potential war with North Korea, his bumbling speeches make our allies wonder if they can trust us, his incompetence at every level threatens our civil society and his support for massive tax cuts for the wealthy that will enrich himself and his family while burdening us with an additional $1.5 trillion of debt makes Donald Trump more dangerous than a disease.
I suppose knowingly having unprotected sex with someone infected with AIDS could be considered "defiant", but it would also be considered stupid. I think "misuse" would be a severe understatement if that was what EA was trying to convey.
E.A First learn what AIDS is, it can be compared to a Transport Terminal, it can not get one anywhere, but it can get one in CONTACT with a Means of getting to ones destination, Facts Mater!
OK but everyone knows that if you misuse your sex organs by masturbating you will go blind...
Hey didya hear the one about the horny nun that chased the Priest around the church and finally caught him by the organ?
(skirting?)
Not your tired screed about PATHOGENS again. What do you plan to do to LGBT people? Lock them up and force them to convert or live in a 21st century leper colony
E.A Good to see your total avoidance of anything to do with Facts!
How do those words indicate an avoidance of facts?? Honestly, EA, you make very little sense most of the time.
E.A Brilliant many thanks, that Proves more then a page full from me.
When you can not follow your own words, when you can not connect the Dots you have placed, that say it all, You are now placed with the rest of your Ilk.
Unlike yours, my comments are not puzzles that need to be solved. I speak plainly and coherently, you should try it sometime. And why did you capitalize 'dots?' You almost always do this, capitalize ordinary words in the middle of your sentences.
And the whole thing about preceding a comment with his initials is just strange and unhelpful.
That's nice. Random and totally irrelevant, but nice.
Is that Richard or, Kyle?
Or Tom?
Mysteriously goes right by you.
Why are you listening to somebody who is clearly NOT the Presidents Psychiatrist? This is just yet another snowflake leftist making assumptions with out any real diagnostic requirements met (like real evaluation of a PATIENT).
Is the President this psychiatrists patient? If so then why is she talking about this in violation of the doctor patient confidentiality? If he's NOT her patient, then it's sheer speculation. Just like the rest of the liberal crying and whining we've seen for the past year.
Not only is it in violation of patient/doctor ethics if he was Pres. Trump's doctor, but it is in violation of the ethics laws in place with their Psychiatric Association.
It is just another voice out of the wilderness!
So it's like I thought. This "doctor" is no better than the rest of the snowflakes trying to get their 15 minutes.
She's just saying what I and many others (including many in the GOP) have seen for many years now. Every time Trump opens his mouth and with every decision he makes he confirms his insanity.
So she's making the same unfounded assumptions as the butt hurt left using her profession as justification.
That's your opinion........and not a very good one........
I feel sorry for those without enough powers of observation to be able to diagnose his insanity themselves. It's not like he tries to hide it.
Actually, I feel sorry for this doctors actual patients. If she is delusional enough to make a diagnosis without really meeting with somebody who knows what she has come up with for them
I feel sorry for those that don't have the observational powers to see what actually happened, or "IS" happening. And it doesn't require the question of what the meaning of "is" ...... "IS" !
Maybe talk to Hillary.....she got kicked in the stomach after that kind of thought process of yours ! She "THOUGHT" also !
Guess what ?
What? He is not like the usual nibbling, dribbling bunch of politicians who have three goals......stay elected, power and money. And, they will do anything and everything to achieve those goals.
There is a big circus going on.....watch those go through hoops who want to get on the band wagon and ridicule Pres. Trump for the audacity of speaking out.
Do I like everything he puts out there? No way! I don't even know how he sleeps comfortably one night with the hate and ridicule that he faces everyday. Maybe, it has happened to other presidents, but never like this.
I couldn't do it and didn't do it. Take this job and shove it!
But, that's what you guys want and he ain't gonna do it!
Magnolia, no one should care how Donald Trump sleeps. He is not qualified to be president of the United States. Why dont you care how the American people can sleep with this fraud pos in office?
Apparently you do. You care about how he sleeps, what he does, who he talks to, how many times he combs his hair, what he eats on steak....
Once he is gone I wont care about him at all. I dont care about Clinton because she is not in office. Same with Trump. If he quits tomorrow, my caring about him is over.
I, personally, have trouble sleeping, but has nothing to do with world problems.
I think remarks were made about it being 4 in the morning, etc. That is why my reference to his sleep.
I think that is the thought that terrifies Trump the most. It keeps him up at 4am, tweeting out nonsense to stay in the headlines.
So until then you plan on staying the course?
I think it's closer to the truth that the Clinton wingers have become unhinged based on their reaction post election. It was amazingly similar to their reaction when Clinton lost to Obama in 2008.
Some Clinton supporters have a fantasy of overthrowing the 2016 election results and installing Clinton into the White House by any means necessary.
Thankfully, the majority of the country does not support overthrowing the US government just so Clinton can have "her turn" in the White House.
yepp... trump is crazy... like a fox
that top psychiatrist is the one who is nuts.
Cheers
IMO president trump is just as sane as some other world leaders are.
