Psychiatrist: Trump "Unprecedentedly Dangerous"
“Most people who are mentally ill are not dangerous. And most people in our society who are not dangerous are not mentally ill, as the law and psychiatry define it. What I’m concerned about is his dangerousness. I think the president we have now is unprecedentedly dangerous to our country and the world...The question is not whether he’s mentally ill, it’s whether he is dangerous and we have abundant evidence of his extreme and unprecedented dangerousness.” (emphasis added) -- Dr. James Gilligan, in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper yesterday referring to sociopathic narcissist Donald "Rump" Trump. Gilligan was one of a group of psychiatrists and mental health professionals who briefed members of Congress regarding their assessment of Rump's actions and statements. Gilligan went on to cite Rump's unapologetic bragging about sexual assault and his incitement of his followers to beat up protesters at his rallies as examples of his dangerous behavior.
We only play psychiatrists on our blog, but we'd say without question that he's a narcissistic sociopath with no regard for anyone but himself, who will lie profusely and shamelessly to maintain his delusions about himself. (See also post above.)
