Mental health professionals who have expressed concern over what they see as Donald Trump’s declining faculties say that similar fears about Joe Biden’s are overblown.
“A few stumbled words are not the same as the extreme danger that result from a list of signs that Donald Trump has shown,” Bandy Lee, a psychiatrist on the faculty at the Yale School of Medicine, told Yahoo News, “and none of them apply to Joe Biden.”
Yet since Biden’s reemergence as a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Lee has been flooded by requests to assess the former vice president’s string of stumbles in public appearances. In response, she published a piece on Medium correcting what she sees as the false equivalence between Trump’s “mental instability” and Biden’s occasional gaffes.
To be sure, one reason the topic of Biden’s mental capacity has become an issue in the campaign is that he has often struggled to express himself at campaign events and debates. But Biden, who has struggled with a stutter since childhood, has been prone to bouts of inarticulateness for decades.
If he goes on to win the presidency, Biden would be, at 78, the oldest American ever sworn into office.
While Lee emphasizes that Trump’s psyche is the much larger issue, she acknowledges that all those who seek the highest office in the land need to be evaluated in terms of mental health.
“It’s not an absent observation. Some of it may happen with normal decline. Others may be a warning sign, but we don’t know that without an examination,” Lee said. “But still, I would emphasize that I would give attention to the overwhelming danger that we have before us. Until that is addressed, or unless that is addressed, I personally do not wish to hear about Joe Biden.”

Oh wait! Now I'm confused... Snicker...
Ha. Biden doesn’t know what room he’s in most of the time much less what state. Trump is quite on top of things around him.
Well since Biden introduced himself as running for U S Senate... I guess he can’t do much harm! LOL
None of them have changed one bit...IMHO... The chicom's goals haven't changed very much... Today, we have (according to govt reports) about a million or so of them inside the U.S. They are happily stealing us blind...
Almost all “mental health professionals “ are leftist lunatics.
Another leftist liar lying to the public and repeating those lies over & over again. Just like Hitler! (Godwins Law)
Almost a certainty Lobotomy Lee is an operative for the commie Chinese
The real concern here is that ‘professionals’ are diagnosing over the internet without evaluating the people- they should be disbarred- forever-
AP....where the truth lies.
Lee’s “moral obligation” as a liberal, is to use her medical background to cause illusions and propaganda as to the Trump presidency...political medicine is toxic when used as a weapon...Dr.Lee is doing just that.
Goebbels never fails as the image of the modern democrat.
I thought we were through with this Bandy Lee idiot when Mark Levin eviscerated her during her interview on his show.
I know you usually use him for looking on at green propaganda releases... but I thought this story deserved a good Goebbels stare too.
Here we go again with the 25th Amendment stuff after Russia Russia Russia and Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine.

This smells of desperation.
I must admit that I also am concerned about President Trump’s mental state!
I have never seen someone so on top of things and with unsurpassed mental acuity especially with the constant constant hammering he takes in the press.
You got to love the guy.
I say BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, it’s Bandy the bitch again on her interminable journey to get the president.
