Vice-president of Republicans Overseas calls Donald Trump 'truly psychologically unbalanced'
Source: International Business Times
The Vice-president of Republicans Overseas Dr Jan Halper-Hayes has lashed out the GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling the billionaire "truly psychologically unbalanced".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Hayes, whose organisation represents 8.7m Republicans abroad, said that while she felt guilty for criticising the head of her party, Trump had "gone over the top".
Hayes explained she had the property mogul and former reality TV star fill out a temperament assessment for her book Quiet Desperation: The Truth About Successful Men.
She said his temperament, the personality traits he was born with, were "really concerning" and added "Donald is out of control right now".

She also claims Newt Gingrich, Laura Ingraham and Ben Carson are very concerned about his behaviour.

It's preceded by an interview with Daniel Kay Johnstone, a biographer of Trump, with a multitude of reasons why Trump is a horrible human being with ties to many criminals.
The interview with Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes starts at 2:37:00.
She agrees that the suggestion the general election is potentially rigged is 'crazy', and says Trump has gone "over the top". Then:
"If I could bring in the psychological part of it that's really concerning me. Because I did have Donald fill out a temperament assessment. And just to clarify, temperament is what we're born with, but personality is shaped by our social environment. And I interviewed Donald over 30 years ago for my book "Quiet Desperation: The Truth about Successful Men".
"Newt Gingrich, Laura Ingraham and Ben Carson, who have been his surrogates, are very concerned about his behaviour right now, and I am as well. I think there's an element of him that's truly is psychologically unbalanced, and I feel very guilty for saying this because I'm a Republican, and I want the Republican ticket to win, but there is - Donald is out of control right now, and he's not listening to anyone. "
She says she'll probably leave the presidential ballot blank, but many of her members are resigning from Republicans Overseas, and saying they'll vote for Johnson instead.
What's bizarre is that Halper-Hayes wrote for Breitbart just 2 months ago claiming "his temperament is exactly what our country needs at this critical time in our history" (their emphasis; sorry about linking to Breitbart, but that's where that appeared). In April 2016, in another BBC radio interview (below, starting at 28:20) she seemed conflicted - she was talking about other people resigning, and that Trump "needs to stop being a baby" and is "exceedingly manipulative", but said she'd support the nominee:
