House Democrats Plan Event to Examine Donald Trump's Allegedly Deteriorating Mental Health
Newsweek ^ | June 5, 2019 | Christina Zhao

House Democrats are planning a Capitol Hill event that will feature a psychiatrist who will examine President Donald Trump's allegedly deteriorating mental health.

Dr. Bandy Lee — a Yale School of Medicine psychiatrist and editor of the best-selling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President" — will be speaking at the event and all lawmakers in Washington D.C. will be invited to attend. According to The Hill, Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY), who has previously called for Trump's impeachment, and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) will be hosting the event

"We are planning to do something where she can make a presentation to other members, so that they'll be aware of what she's been working on," Taymuth told the news outlet on Wednesday, adding that the event is anticipated to be held in July.

"We're planning to put together an event," Yarmuth told the Washington Examiner, who first broke the story. "She's calling it a town hall. We haven't actually determined the format, but it's going to be an event where she is going to present her findings, and media will be invited."

The book, edited by Lee, asserts that psychiatrists have an ethical responsibility to publicly disclose their evaluations of a dangerous sitting president.

Not surprisingly, the panic-stricken Democrat Socialists are dusting off the old Soviet playbook to revive the use of contrived mental tribunals and show trials to suppress opposition to their totalitarian ambitions. By projecting the specter of mental illness, they're only confirming their own desperate psychosis. “At no time have governments been moralists. They never imprisoned people and executed them FOR having done something. They imprisoned and executed them to keep them FROM DOING something." ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, "The Gulag Archipelago"

If she actually examined President Trump then she should be arrested for violating patient privacy laws. If not then she should be sued for libel.

Censorship or banishment from the USA for this insurrection.
This president was elected legitimately. What about the minds of the conspirators. Groupie think haters of constitution. And obsessive envy of winner.

How does a book get to be rated "Best Selling"?

even I (a non-mental health expert) could pronounce Pelosi or AOC as ‘nutcases’, and ask them have them removed from their House jobs.

Exactly, so screw them. Just because the rats 🐀 haven’t got a leg to stand on, doesn’t mean they won’t grasp at straws. They will. Screw them.

Welcome to the socialist playbook.

“Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union”

“There was systematic political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union,based on the interpretation of political opposition or dissent as a psychiatric problem.It was called “psychopathological mechanisms” of dissent.”

It is considered utterly unethical (and completely useless) to diagnose people that a practitioner has not actually seen, in a therapeutic setting.

Dr. Bandy Lee — a Yale School of Medicine psychiatrist

This individual should be immediately decredentialed for her unethical behavior.

and editor of the best-selling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President"

On the other hand, at least we know she will be fair and impartial.

The Democrat Caucus itself is a public demonstration of deteriorating mental health. How ironic.

I'll testify that POTUS is in excellent mental health, but Speaker Pelosi has serious mental issues.

I'm a Political Science major and my credentials are as good as these charlatans.
