Not long after the Malignant Loser took office, a group of eminent psychiatrists and mental health professionals convened to consider his manifestations of mental illness, preparing a best-selling book, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President." One of the professionals who warned about the Malignant Loser's mental instability was Dr. Leonard Glass of Harvard Medical School. In this morning's New York Times, Thomas Edsall quotes Glass who was asked to comment on the Malignant Loser's recent behavior:
"He acts like he’s impervious, 'a very stable genius,' but we know he is rageful, grandiose, vengeful, impulsive, devoid of empathy, boastful, inciting of violence, and thin-skinned. At times it seems as if he cannot control himself or his hateful speech. We need to wonder if these are the precursors of a major deterioration in his character defenses.
If Trump — in adopting language that he cannot help knowing replicates that of Hitler (especially the references to opponents as “vermin” and “poisoning the blood of our country”), we have to wonder if he has crossed into “new terrain.” That terrain, driven by grandiosity and dread of exposure (e.g., at the trials) could signal the emergence of an even less constrained, more overtly vicious and remorseless Trump who, should he regain the presidency, would, indeed act like the authoritarians he praises. Absent conscientious aides who could contain him (as they barely did last time), this could lead to the literal shedding of American blood on American soil by a man who believes he is 'the only one' and the one, some believe, is a purifying agent of God and in whom they see no evil nor do they doubt." (our emphasis)
There needs to be a more forceful and public "duty to warn" effort, not only from the Malignant Loser's former allies, but from the mental health community. The Malignant Loser hasn't been secretive about what he plans for a second term, so no one need to "speculate" about his intentions. Most of all our broken and timid media needs to get real about the threat that he poses if they claim to love this country at all.
