Tweeter by Nancy OhanianWe've talked about Dr. Bandy Lee's best-selling book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President before. Now there are reports that White House staffers contacted Dr. Lee about Trump's cognitive deterioration and bizarre, erratic behavior. White House staffers contacted her-- twice-- because they judged Trump to be "unravelling." As you know Trump has called himself a "very stable genius." The NY Daily News reported that political psychologist Dr. Bart Rossi told them that Trump has been exhibiting narcissistic behavior and it has been getting worse as the pressures of the office mount and the federal Russia probe stretches on. 'I see someone who has a real narcissistic problem,' Rossi told them. 'The problem is he is narcissistic to the extreme. He’s self-absorbed to the point where he’s only concerned about himself. The other problem is that he has a thought disturbance. When Donald Trump says something he expects others to believe it is reality even if it is completely fabricated. We’re in very dangerous territory.' Rossi said his analysis is based on Trump's public statements and is made in the context of political psychology."Now, put that together with Michael Gerson's Washington Post piece this morning, "We Are A Superpower Run By A Simpleton," in which he points out that this is the essence of the Trump Era. "From a foreign policy perspective, this is far worse than being run by a skilled liar. It is an invitation to manipulation and contempt. What we are finding from books, from insider leaks and from investigative journalism is that the rational actors who are closest to the president are frightened by his chaotic leadership style. They describe a total lack of intellectual curiosity, mental discipline and impulse control... Trump pursues no deep or subtle strategies. He does not even consistently seek his own interests. He responds like a child or a narcissist-- but I repeat myself-- to positive or negative stimulation. It is the reason that Trump’s lawyers, in the end, can’t allow him to be interviewed by Robert Mueller. It would be like a 9-year-old defending a PhD dissertation. Or maybe a rabbit jumping into a buzz saw."On Thursday, Elizabeth Warren told a CNN reporter that "If senior administration officials think the president of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment. The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the vice president and senior officials think the president can't do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the president-- take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds... Every one of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It's time for them to do their job... What kind of a crisis do we have if senior officials believe that the president can't do his job and then refuse to follow the rules that have been laid down in the Constitution? They can't have it both ways. Either they think that the president is not capable of doing his job, in which case they follow the rules in the Constitution, or they feel that the president is capable of doing his job, in which case they follow what the President tells them to do."This is what the Republican Party has leading them into the November midterm elections. And do they ever deserve what's coming their way! This is what you nominated, elected and still enable and support, Republicanos. This is what you have inflicted on your country... you fucking assholes:What Would Freud Do? by Nancy Ohanian
