Psychiatrist: Trump admin officials contacted me because president was ‘scaring’ them
The Hill ^ | 09/06/18 07:11 PM EDT | JUSTIN WISE

Officials from the Trump administration reportedly contacted a Yale University psychiatrist last year because President Trump was "scaring" them.

Dr. Bandy Lee told Salon and the New York Daily News on Thursday that two White House officials flagged Trump's behavior last October.

"[They] said that Trump was 'scaring' them, that he was 'unraveling,'" Lee, who wrote the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told Salon.

ADVERTISEMENT "Not wishing to confuse the role I chose, as an educator of the public, and a potential treatment role, I referred them to the local emergency room without inquiring much further," Lee added to Salon.

Lee also wrote an op-ed declaring that Trump is a "dangerous leader."

Lee repeated to the Daily News that she did not mention this development before because she "did not want to confuse my role an an educator to the public."

"I thought I would be more effective by retaining my public role than getting involved in either the treatment of those who were feeling scared or in the actual intervention with the President," she added.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

It would have been a drug counselor not a psychiatrist.

Shrink: How did Trump scare you?

Patient: He started talking about wild, crazy things - law and order, freedom, quality of life for all Americans...

From the article:

"...Lee, who wrote the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told Salon. "Not wishing to confuse the role I chose, as an educator of the public, and a potential treatment role, I referred them to the local emergency room without inquiring much further," Lee added to Salon.

Well, Okay Then.

You’re just SO Self Important, eh, “Bandy”? Tell us, did you ever talk to the President? Interview him? Analyze him?

Or did you just make crap up in order to sell a book and make yourself famous to the weirdos at msnbc?

Just another Soros paid quack pretending to know things that are both wrong and unprofessional

You should lose any licenses over this crap.

...

So of all the psychiatrists in the world they just happened to contact the one writing an anti-Trump book. What are the odds?

Trump should get a list of these people and fire them stating “Since you are not mature enough to handle the job, I’ll find people who are-

This whole theatrical performance by the left is BS- they are trying to subvert this president by claiming they have the right to ignore him and have the right to make policy decisions without him because ‘He’s Scary’, or ‘He’s incompetent’. This is sedition! Plain outright Sedition! President Trump was elected by the people, and the people surrounding him have a duty TO THE PEOPLE to support this president- yet they are acting like he is an illegitimate president and as such they have no obligation to support him

These loonies are scared. They simply don’t know what to do with a conservative president that stands up to them, and pushes his lead to very hard.

I bet his top leaders/advisers don’t get to sleep past 5 AM.

So the Russia stuff didn’t work, so now we’re going whole-hog on the “He’s Nuts!” thing? Is that what we’re doing?

Hey, Doc, how about the “Most Corrupt Woman in the World” who you voted for?

You know, that proverbial liar, user, cheater, adulterer, fraud?

Did you ever write about her? Any requests for interventions?

Or is she perfectly normal in your professional judgment?

Well?

I didn’t know that they were allowed to divulge information from their sessions unless they believed a crime was being committed.

This is interesting and smells funny at the same time.

More likely they couldn’t comprehend him. Hence, what someone doesn’t know scare them.

How can they make this diagnosis when they have never even spoken to the president?

Patient: “And that’s why yellow makes me sad I think” GUNNY: “That’s interesting… You know what makes me sad? YOU DO! Maybe we should chug on over to namby-pamby land where maybe we can find some self confidence for you ya jackwagon. Tissue?” Throws box at patient

This image really shouldn't be limited to Climate nonsense. It applies to all lies and wholly fabricated bull****. He's the icon of modern American journalism.
