It is SO sad that the majority of Americans were not able to hear and accept the opinion of hundreds of mental health professionals back in 2015 and 2016 that Donald J. Trump was and is mentally ill. We wrote papers, attended conferences (Duty to Warn at Yale University), and published books, one being The Dangerous Case of Donald J. Trump. Mental illness is a REAL problem. And many people who spend years getting advanced degrees in psychology and more years in a counseling practice actually KNOW something about how mentally ill people behave. So when we predicted that putting a psychotic narcissist in a position of power would not end well, it turns out we were pretty much right, weren't we?

Well, if you're the same way you don't want people to think you're crazy too, so of course they rejected it. All the racist saw was a fellow racist, if it's not racism they can't see it.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov

This is in quotation marks, who are you citing please ?

Myself. I lifted the text from my own Facebook post, and the software put quotes around it.

@mischl Thank you.

@Fernapple I went back and removed the quotation marks.

@mischl Well done, I am sorry to be a pedant, but as you know, we are sometimes pestered here by people who post quotes, as if it is their own. Mostly but not always by accident.

@Fernapple I too get annoyed by posts without attribution. I nag a lot of my friends on FB about that. What's worse, I'm a tireless grammar nazi. But I try to be a friendly, helpful nazi.

Problem is you don't have to be a specialist in mental health to come to the same conclusion. Unfortunately, millions of Americans can't (or won't) see the obvious.

Not according to the fat woman lovinglarge's responses made below!

Agree ; also I listened to a science program about " power
and how it becomes addictive ( while the victim or patient is
not aware ). Being out of touch - OR just plain lying is a
HALLMARK ; spinning the facts OR re-writing history is the basis for ALOT of what has occurred . Instead of making progress on major social issues we were taken BACK to
a " comfort zone " where ANYTHING the president thought
or felt WAS TOTALLY CORRECT and required devoted
obedience- not logical Thinking .
Thanks

Apparently there are a lot of Americans who think crazy is pretty normal.

Most Cluster Bs are fairly good at concealing their true selves, at least for a while.

I warned them. I warned them, but did they listen? Oh, no, it's just a harmless little billionaire, isn't it?

Well it's always the same, I always warn them and nobody listens....

Yes. He has lived up to the diagnosis of being mentally unfit to lead the country.
