OPINION: Another Inconvenient Truth for the GOP – Donald Trump Is Mentally Unfit for Office
Bucks County military veteran and retired mental health professional Steve Nolan writes that Trump could be diagnosed with Personality Disorder NOS with Antisocial and Narcissistic traits.

Two of Donald Trump’s favorite phrases are: “To be honest with you,” and “To tell you the truth.” The man who ran a fraudulent charity, a fraudulent university, a fraudulent business; a sex offender and a 34-count convicted felon, spends much of his time calling his political opponents crooked or corrupt, liars or cheats. And many Americans have fallen, like many Germans in the 1930’s before us, for almost all of it, because of extreme self-confidence and because people, even a nation, can be taught to hate.


The idea that an American politician could ever come along seeking the power and control of the Soviet State or the Chinese Communist State was unimaginable. The very thing that distinguished America from its enemies was the protection of human rights versus the institutional subjugation of human rights.

This is where mental health comes in – the reason for the constant chaos – and yet the one thing still undisclosed to the American people: the simple, clinically provable fact, that Donald Trump is mentally unfit for command. Someone who could never make it past a recruiter, as a sex offender and convicted felon, we have allowed to command all of our military personnel and weapons systems.
It’s bad enough that the GOP leadership embraced him knowing that he was corrupt, but without understanding Personality Disorder pathology, they cannot grasp an unprecedented reality: he envies dictators, wants absolute power over the press, education, the arts and the military.
They have the same tunnel vision, the same naivete, that afflicted Neville Chamberlain – they fail to realize that he also wants to control them, neuter the other two co-equal branches of government. He wants the rubber stamp of the Kremlin.

There has been plenty of talk…

I don’t see any warm bodies in Palm Beach County, Florida who has witnessed his abuse + conduct hotfooting over to the County Clerk’s office to file Baker Act paper work on this individual. He is capable of harming himself + others… Get a 72-hour hold on the record… No special care or privilege… the same treatment any incapacitated person receives… Let Krasnov live through that 72 hours under his own steam + let’s see what the doctors determine… If he’s fine… he can go home to terrorize America another day… If he’s not okay, Congress needs to end the shutdown… + act…

BTB… Anyone can file the paperwork w/ the court. You don’t need to be family or a medical professional…

to keep them in power. SO they don't give a fuck. If, in effect, Congress loses power entirely (and they're damn near neutered already, by choice), they'll keep their jobs and paychecks and appearance of being in charge, without having to actually WORK at all. It's win/win for them.
