Yale professor and clinical psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee has warned that President Donald Trump may bring about the “extinction of the human species” because of his mental instability.
Lee, who has briefed members of congress on the president’s psychological state, insisted that her extreme prediction was “not hyperbole” but “reality.”
Dr. Lee said told Newsweek that the situation is so grave that “a public health emergency” should be declared that would need to be “responded to as quickly as possible.”
“As more time passes, we come closer to the greatest risk of danger, one that could even mean the extinction of the human species,” she said. “This is not hyperbole. This is the reality.”

According to the American Psychiatric Association’s Goldwater Rule, members may not comment on the psychological health of someone they haven’t actually examined, but Lee said she doesn’t believe that her evaluation of the President’s mental health violates the rule.
Trump has shown “an attraction to violence and powerful weapons,” Lee said. “He has also repeatedly taunted a hostile nation.”
Lee said that Trump’s speech patterns also say something about the state of the President’s mental health.
“He cannot seem to finish sentences, he derails from his line of thinking, he has loose associations and he jumps from one topic or another,” she said, which could indicate a psychiatric or medical condition.
Following on Trump’s assertions on social media of his mental stability and intelligence, Lee said that deflecting or projecting “are often concerning signs,” and seemed to suggest that Trump could even be a candidate for forcible commitment.

Projection to the max! Rubber room and thorazine, stat!
I used to say the tools of the left were:
1. Ad hominem
2. projection
3. deflection
I need to add a fourth: hyperbolic lunacy
Trump has AMAZING POWER! Super Human!
Hysteria.
Scum sucking socialists in academ-edia have told us for 70 years that the threat of Communism around the globe was hysteria. The threat of Russian influence in American media, academia, and government policy (and protest movements) was overstated.
But here’s a quack saying that this claim is NOT hyperbole.
What a drama queen.
sounds serious
She’s crazy.
” that President Donald Trump may bring about the “extinction of the human species”
Isn’t this the goal of environmentalist?
The left should be praising President Trump for advancing the cause /s
Amazing how the doctor hasn’t issued an evaluation of the Little Urchin in North Korea.
I’d be happy if Trump could just cause the extinction of Marxist college professors.
Speaking of people who are mentally unstable...
When you come to understand that the far left activists of the 60s and 70s really were psychologically crazy and that they disliked psychoanalysis and favored chaos, the more you come to understand their love of riots, the inmates at the APA de-listing homosexuality as a mental disorder, etc.
NOW and modern feminazism was built by mentally ill women.
Where was Dr. Bandy X. Lee when on Obama was president?
Yale SJWs need to fix New Haven and then get back to us.
She is describing Ted Kennedy in his prime (he was even worse after his prime). I'll bet she never had anything to say about his fitness for office.
Did she not listen to Obama?
Harvard delenta est.
