The time has come to say it: there is something psychologically wrong with the President.
The fuzzy outlines of President Trump's likely mental illness came into sharper focus this week: in two interviews with major networks, he revealed paranoia and delusion; he quadruple-downed on his fabrication that millions of people voted illegally, which demonstrated he is disconnected from reality itself; his petulant trade war with Mexico reveals that he values self-image even over national interest; his fixation with inaugural crowd size reveals a childish need for attention.
Partisans have been warning about Trump's craziness for months, but rhetoric from political opponents is easily dismissed; it's the water of the very swamp the President says he wants to drain.
But frightened by the President's hubris, narcissism, defensiveness, belief in untrue things, conspiratorial reflexiveness and attacks on opponents, mental health professionals are finally speaking out. The goal is not merely to define the Madness of King Donald, but to warn the public where it will inevitably lead.
Ex-Trump executive: I knew he was ill for last 35 years "Narcissism impairs his ability to see reality," said Dr. Julie Futrell, a clinical psychologist, who, of course, added a standard disclaimer because she has never actually treated Trump. "So you can't use logic to persuade someone like that. Three million women marching? Doesn't move him. Advisers point out that a policy choice didn't work? He won't care. The maintenance of self-identity is the organizing principle of life for those who fall toward the pathological end of the narcissistic spectrum."
A little background: Shrinks don't typically analyze public figures. The reticence dates back to 1964, during Barry Goldwater's run for President. Then, like now, many shrinks believed that the candidate was psychologically damaged — but unlike now, many diagnosed him for a Fact magazine special...

The malice and hatred from the left just never stops does it?

Nope. It does not. Yet the irony here is that as the whores in media gripe and complain about Fake News - they themselves just wallow in it as they further degrade themselves with this BS.
I have greater respect for the State Run media like Pravda was than I do for the lapdogs we have now.
It’s just projection on this jerk’s part.
The Chronic Lying Leftist NYD and Gersh Kuntzman now, despite their pathological condition of chronic lies, think they are experts in psychology but they don’t know their #ss from a hole in the ground.
Totalitarians - the Lying Left - who themselves are pathological, love to say that those who don’t agree with them are mentally ill. Communist Russia is filled with political prisoners they call “mentally ill”
The Lying Left is the enemy within.
“Gersh” ?
Nope, it won’t and never will.
The leftist news will report nothing but anti-trump throughout the entirety of his presidential tenure.
They will cover every tiny little insignificant protest or miscarriage of justice as if it were all Trumps fault.
Our press does nothing but divide us.
What they don't get is that every time they attack Trump they attack those of us who voted for him. Rather then getting us to drop our support for Trump, they just reinforce how irrelevant, completely dishonest and partisan they are.
> he quadruple-downed on his fabrication that millions of people voted illegally
The blowback will be epic.
The daily news is an illiterate leftist rag.

Hey “gersh”.
Shut up, or I’ll make you fire an AR-15.
That will traumatize you for life.
‘Gersh Kuntzman”
I think it might be time to boycott the Snooze’s advertisers. This article was totally uncalled for and deserves the derision we are going to give it.
The so-called media is nothing but the mouthpiece of the left.
They are so afraid about the voter fraud issues!
When the data comes out, it will show there was never a fair election for Obama.
The Left that spend 8 years fellating Obama are suddenly worried about Narcissism?
Projection, courtesy of the Mainstream Media.
Kuntzman.
You know how athletes refer to one another by using the first initial of their first name and the first syllable of their last name?
Very fitting and appropriate for this guy.
