Im a neurologist, so Im used to dealing with a lot of different minds, he said.And even being a pediatric neurologist, that gives me more perspective.
In an interview with The Guardians Ben Jacobs, Northam explained that hed be willing to work with Trump when it would help out the state of Virginia. When asked by Jacobs how he could work with Trump despite his pointed criticism of the president, Northam said his past work as a pediatrician has helped to prepare him for dealing with Trumps personality.
Im a neurologist, so Im used to dealing with a lot of different minds, he said. And even being a pediatric neurologist, that gives me more perspective.
Northams profile at the Childrens Hospital of The Kings Daughters says that his clinical interests include epilepsy and neuromuscular disorders, neither of which seems to afflict president Trump.
Earlier this year, Northam called out Trump as a narcissistic maniac during the Democratic primary, although he has dialed down his harsher criticisms of the president the closer hes gotten to the general election.
