"We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump's dangerous mental illness," said Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School and who has in the past warned Trump is a "psychiatric Frankenstein monster."
Gartner and other psychiatrists at the conference argued that Trump suffers from a particularly malignant case of pathological narcissism, which makes him a danger to the country and the world.
"Worse than just being a liar or a narcissist, in addition he is paranoid, delusional and grandiose thinking and he proved that to the country the first day he was president," Gartner explained. "If Donald Trump really believes he had the largest crowd size in history, that's delusional."
Dr. James Gilligan, a psychiatrist and professor at New York University, said that Trump's erratic behavior has similarly disturbed him despite the fact that he has lots of experience working with violent convicted criminals.
"I've worked with murderers and rapists, I can recognize dangerousness from a mile away," he said. "You don't have to be an expert on dangerousness or spend fifty years studying it like I have in order to know how dangerous this man is."

Psychiatrists are NOT supposed to diagnose people without direct examination. The APA prohibits its members from giving professional opinions about public figures they have never met.
After a 4 year Bachelor’s and 2 years in APA aproved Master’s. and lots of extracurricular reading and study, I learned one cannot believe those in the field of psychology or phsichiatry, professions based primarily on speculation and unproven theory.
This is the same gang that diagnose on the basis of the disease du jour. Schizophrenia caused by schizophenohenic mothers, libidinous problems, Oedipus Complexes, Jungian delusions, and on and on. Narcissism is very current.
What most do not know is the nature of humans, what is normal and what abnormal AND the wide variations within normal. Unless their analyses are based on long term interaction with a person and a knowledge of truth and errors about the facts of humanity they are just bloviating.

Hmm Barry Soetoro was also “remotely diagnosed” a while back.
I would so sue the dickweed for libel, slander, defamation, and impersonating a psychiatrist.
Probably treason in there somewhere too.
And Obama WASN’T a pathological narcissist???? He couldn’t go 5 seconds without saying “I”, it was all about him all the time. Look at the mess he left yet they’ve nothing to say....
Understood, didn’t mean to imply you were that FReak.
And psychiatrists are more prone to commit suicide. Now that’s mental illness.
Psycho the rapist ...
OK, thanks.
This guy should be prime timed for the lefty loony segement of Tucker Carlsons show very soon.
Funny, my brother is a shrink and he said that about slick willy and obummer. They are in love with themselves and are legends in their own minds. That is why they are obsessed with their legacies.
This search will bring up lots of Obama-narcissist articles.
Yes, and psychiatry is a false science.
People who go into these fields do so to find out what is wrong with themselves, and in an attempt to gloss over their problems, ignore the fact that they are sickophants.
If this is how Yale is “educating” the kids, it’s a giant fraud. Shut it down!!
They couldn’t take him down over insinuations of mafia/mob connections. Then they tried sexual issues and misogyny, that didn’t work. The Russian connection was fruitless, too. They tried to rig the election, and the didn’t work either. Now all that’s left is mental issues.
Typical shadow gubmt bs. There’s only one thing left when this mental effort fails. With any luck at all, he’ll have an invisible force field.
LOL as if anyone other than these fake intellectuals gives a d@mn about what these insane libtards think. Wining,winning, winning every day!!!
They never noticed that 0bama is a textbook pathological narcissist scoring off the charts on every indicator?
These shrinks are nuts!
