The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell 2/21/17
Mental health experts say Trump is unfit to serve

"Some psychologists and psychiatrists are speaking out about Trump because of a duty to warn. Lawrence talks to two experts with this view: Dr. Lance Dodes and Dr. John Gartner, whose online petition of mental health professionals has more than 26,000 signatures." Duration: 6:26

This was extraordinary. A must listen. There have been a number of articles by mental health professionals, but I was listening with amazement that this was actually being broadcast on national TV.

One quote:
"If we could construct a psychological Frankenstein monster we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than DT. He is a paranoid psychopathic narcissist who's divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at imagined enemies and this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes."

1. I suspected that a year and a half ago.

pretty much at the moment he opened his mouth after coming down the escalator in his tower.

2. Lots of us did; it's not new info for us but that it is being said on prime time national TV

is very encouraging.

[Doreen]

3. Encouraging for who?

We already know and the ones who need to hear it and know it call what we watch fake news. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope that it is professional psychologists that are saying it.

4. Applauded by random people who were paid $50 to clap.

5. he had experts on saying it before

the election. i doubt whether trump supporters watch o'donnell. they probably watch shows like "the kardashians".

6. Charlie Rose show re-ran an interview of 45 from 1992...

He was just as crazy even then. I lasted about ten minutes and then couldn't take it anymore. Same bragging, same superlatives about everything, same endless digressions, same lack of reality.

He mentioned off-handedly that he had been called a "genius". I'm sure he believed every word he was saying! This guy is no con artist trying to fool people: he really is a disturbed person.

7. His family are enablers.

They do it for the money.

[Phoenix61]

8. Yep

They know how vindictive he is so if they don't want to be cut out of his will they have to suck it up. At this point, as old as he is, who can blame them. If he ever develops dementia, the minute they can have him declared incompetent he will find himself in some hell hole of a nursing home and there won't be a damn thing he will be able to do about it.

9. No doubt about it - but Pence is worse.

His delusions are just as dangerous - if not more so, given his membership in the pro-theocracy C Street Family - but he cloaks them much more skillfully than Trump.

No good choices I'm sorry to say.

10. Yep.. we're in those kinda hands
