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.

Libs are good at projection...it’s all they got to fight with.
Given that, and as we all know, they’re totally and chronically INSANE and should be locked up in mental institutions. They should be NEVER be allowed anywhere near the levers of power in government....not even as a dog catcher.

She’s held another similar stunt at Yale and has authored a book about Trump, so yeah no personal stake here ( sarc)

Now, if she did unethical arnchair diagnoses of Pelosi Waters and Biden - that might be interesting

Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY), who has previously called for Trump's impeachment, and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD)...

Yet again, members of that, very, special demographic.
Of course it won’t end well. Never has.

The media will eat this (seminar) up. They will love it.

I can foresee CNN, MSNBC, ... with a little box at the bottom of their screens announcing “7 hours 14 minutes, 12 seconds until the Trump Insanity Hearings.”

All I can say it is nuts. Looks like standing up for America has become the new insanity and it would include all who do. Where are the Republicans? I do not know.

I looked it up. The only state she has a medical license is in New York. She has no license in Wash DC or Connecticut. Since this has come out the American Psych Assoc. has come out and said that it is completely against their standards to diagnose a person’s mental status without having actually seen them in a clinical setting.

I don’t think there are exceptions to HIPPA Law violations, so I am sure the rats 🐀 will violate it.

You would hope that a psychiatrist with just a smidgen of integrity would refuse to offer an opinion on someone they've never even interviewed.

Yeah man I’m a worrier by nature and I’m so far from worried at this point about anything the dems throw at Trump that it amazes even me.

I LAUGHED when I read this.

When the worriers are laughing you are in trouble :)

are any polls trust-worthy?
by now, the Democrats should be polling its lowest figures ever, given this kind of rubbish and its Spygate/Russiagate shenanigans.

as long as FakeNewsMSM and polls tell them they’re doing fine, they’ll keep it up.

That’s GOOD.

I never thought of how polls could hurt them.

But they must do their own internal polling, no?

Well I bet they do and the “base” loves this.

That’s not gonna help them win.

Don’t her students call her “The Nutty Professor”?

Can we confirm that with some interviews of embarrassed Yalies?

... ethical responsibility to publicly disclose their evaluations of a dangerous sitting president.

Unprecedented, of course, in US political history ... the threat,Donald Trump isn't a Washington insider and he's kicking their butts. In the coming weeks America will learn the true depravity of the vermin that inhabit the Washington swamp.
