The article, above, Trump's Repetitive Speech Is a Bad Sign has been summarized in RawStory with the title Psychiatrist flags 'alarming' debate tic — and urges Trump to seek a neurologist, the EconoTimes with the title Psychiatrist Urges Donald Trump to Seek Neurological Exam After 'Alarming' Debate Behavior Raises Cognitive Concerns, and elsewhere.
They save me from the task of summarizing it. Still, I recommend that you read the entire article here.
I have been writing about this issue ever since the debate firmed up my own diagnostic assessment that Trump had a cognitive disorder, either early dementia, mania, or a combination of the two. But then again I am not an eminent mental health professional. I was what could be called a country psychotherapist for 40 years because I practiced in rural areas and graduated from what was once called a cow college, originally Michigan Agricultural College, now Michigan State University.
The author of this article is what can be called eminent. He's Richard A. Friedman, who also has a Wikipedia page.
Two days ago I wrote BEDLAM IN HIS BRAIN: Call it insanity, mental illness, or cognitive impairment, Trump gave us ample evidence he needs professional help.
My conclusion was the same as psychiatrist and professor Friedman's. This is that this debate showed is that if Trump was anybody else his family would be seeking professional help for him.
The number one reason Trump should never set foot in the Oval Office is that he will destroy democracy. The related reason is that dementia never gets better and as I wrote yesterday there will be a point where his symptoms will be so severe he'd be removed through the 25th Amendment and J.D. Vance would become president.
The country would go from having a sociopathic president who was mentally impaired, irrational, and unstable like Idi Amin who didn't have nuclear weapons, to having a sociopathic one who is as sane, rational, and calculating as Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un who do have nukes, and dare I say, as Adolph Hitler was.
