This is the Trump that most of the World sees.

Based on Trump's public behavior and other available information, these experts warned that he appears to be a malignant narcissist, a pathological liar who is obsessed with violence, easily manipulated by praise and other ego-stroking behavior, indifferent to the suffering of other human beings, anti-social and anti-human in his values and behavior, irresponsible and impulsive and in total quite likely a sociopath or perhaps a psychopath.

Collectively, these mental health experts predicted that Trump's many apparent pathologies would lead to destruction and suffering for the American people and the world.

Are you really this gullible to accept a psychological evaluation of Donald Trump by an unethical psychiatrist? There is a long history of unethical liberal psychiatrists attempting to use their professional credentials to disparage conservatives (or in Trump's case populist) with whose political positions they disagree. Even it these mental health "experts" had examined Trump, it would be unethical of them to offer their findings to the general public without his explicit consent.

Why do you liberals think that it is okay to ignore the bounds of ethical behavior to attack political opponents or to deny them due process of the law, as long as they are conservatives? Do not all American citizens have the same rights as you enjoy?

Psychiatrists Reminded To Refrain From Armchair Analysis Of Public Figures

Earlier this week [this article was written in the fall of 2016] the American Psychiatric Association cautioned psychiatrists against taking part in a feverish new national hobby.

Catching Pokémon wasn't mentioned. Psychoanalyzing Donald Trump was.

On the organization's website, APA President Maria A. Oquendo wrote: "The unique atmosphere of this year's election cycle may lead some to want to psychoanalyze the candidates, but to do so would not only be unethical, it would be irresponsible."

Oquendo was referring to the "Goldwater Rule," a guideline adopted by the APA after a 1964 survey of psychiatrists found that nearly half of those polled felt that GOP presidential candidate Barry Goldwater was psychologically unfit to be president.
