Donald Trump has 'dangerous mental illness', say psychiatry experts at Yale conference
Donald Trump has a “dangerous mental illness” and is not fit to lead the US, a group of psychiatrists have warned during a conference at Yale University.

Mental health experts claimed the President was “paranoid and delusional”, and said it was their “ethical responsibility” to warn the American public about the “dangers” Mr Trump’s psychological state poses to the country.

Speaking at the conference at Yale’s School of Medicine on Thursday, one of the mental health professionals, Dr John Gartner, a practising psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, said: “We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump's dangerous mental illness.”

Irrespective of views on trump.

Guys who are at such top top universities and teaching schools to be diagnosing via distance viewing is very disturbing.

It's grossly unprofessional in my view and irresponsible.

It smacks of politics

I kept looking for the "this is a satirical post" at the end of this article but it appears serious. Trump told NASA to get to mars during his first term in office (or second if they couldn't make the first).

He wants an ego project. He hopes they'll name the first city on Mars after him.

I'm all for going to mars but I dont think he's serious, and if he is, it is for ego, not science.

 

According to Buzz Lightyear when I last spoke to him (how's that for name-dropping?), the first humans going there should be a one-way trip. Now, if Donald's ego is that big...

 

I'm usually the first to accuse Trump of being an idiot but feel like his latest gaffe is a poor choice of words but not deserving the condemnation.

He told a purple heart recipient "congratulations... Tremendous". (Purple heart recipients being those injured serving the country).

Yeah... Getting hurt doesn't usually warrant a congratulation, and was perhaps a poor choice of words, but I can see what he meant (congratulations on being honoured for serving the country).

Trump is currently being pilloried (perhaps unfairly this time) with people comparing it to sending a congratulations card to a widow.

 

I personally liked his "better you than me" to the astronauts drinking their own piss...

As funny/embarrassing as his verbal **** ups are..they really are a distraction..he's done **** loads more serious that people and more importantly the media and opposition should stay focused on.

 

Did you know 10% of this guys presidency is already gone and the world has not ended.

Lets praise his achievements as well lads

 

Trump backs down on border wall funding

10% - you're assuming he'll be a one-termer then?

 

As terrible as he is, his followers love him more for every stupid thing he does. They're locked into him now like a lying man digging deeper and deeper hole.

 

Could be more than 10% if we're lucky.

 

I cant add in whats not voted on can i.

 

Getting very messy in the Far East now

 

and what's changed

the reality is a tin pot state with not much of a pot to even piss in is sabre rattling but they have nothing behind them

russia and china will not prop up their mouth... so it is just what it is.

 

So in the last 24 hours Trump has said that the rules of Congress are archaic and that Congress and judiciary shouldn't be able to block the President's orders.

And... He has declared May 1st as "loyalty day" a day for citizens to show loyalty to government. Sounds more and.more faschist.

 

Does he want a military parade like in red square too.....

 

Related: Trump Travel Ban Challenge In Appeals Court (Provided by Wochit)
Testy exchanges between judges and lawyers over Donald Trump’s travel ban on Monday indicated that the legality of the president’s executive order could be determined by his prior comments about Muslims.
The pointed questioning came during an appeals court hearing about an executive order Trump issued in March that attempted to halt new visas from six-Muslim majority countries and suspend refugee resettlement in the US. The first order in January was chaotically implemented and blocked by federal courts. The revised order was also blocked by courts in Maryland and Hawaii after judges found grounds for constitutional violations.
The Trump administration then appealed these rulings and on Monday faced the next stage in its legal battle during a hearing in front of 13 judges at the fourth circuit of appeals in Virginia.
Almost immediately judges questioned acting US solicitor general Jeffrey Wall about past statements made by Trump on the campaign trail during the presidential election in which he promised a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the US.
The comments made by Trump and other remarks about the order that were later made by those in his administration were cited by judges in Maryland and Hawaii as evidence of the order’s animus towards Muslims when the order was blocked in March.
“This is not a Muslim ban. Its text doesn’t have to anything to do with religion,” Wall argued on Monday as a number of judges peppered him with questions.
Judge Henry Floyd, a Democratic appointee, asked Wall if there was “anything other than willful blindness” that could prevent the court from interpreting Trump’s prior remarks in connection with the revised order. Judge Robert King, also a Democratic appointee, later added: “He has never repudiated what he said about the Muslim ban. It’s still on his website.”
Just minutes before the hearing began, the pledge appeared to have been removed from Trump’s campaign website, where it had been since December 2015.
There was, however, no ruling made by the court on Monday, and experts have suggested that a decision may take a significant amount of time as the en banc hearing (those before a full bench of judges) will likely mean longer deliberations. Such hearings are extremely rare at the initial stages of proceedings and underline the significance of the case.

© AFP/Getty Images Judges are considering Trump’s attempt to halt new visas from six-Muslim majority countries and suspend refugee resettlement in the US. Two judges, both appointed by Republican presidents, had recused themselves from Monday’s hearing. Judge J Harvie Wilkinson III recused himself as Wall is his son-in-law. It was unclear why Judge Allyson Duncan had recused.
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of the case, Omar Jadwat, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), was also subjected to sharp questioning by judges. The ACLU, the National Immigration Law Center and International Refugee Assistance Project [Irap] brought the case against the government in Maryland in March.
Judge Paul Niemeyer, a Republican appointee, appeared to suggest that ruling against the president, who commands large authority over immigration procedure, could be judicial overreach.
“I don’t know where it ends,” Niemeyer said in the hearing. “It seems to me we have to function in our three branches, and give respect to other branches.”
Judge Dennis Shedd, also a Republican appointee, asked Jadwat whether he believed Trump’s order would no longer be unconstitutional if, hypothetically, Trump apologised for his remarks on the campaign trail.
“What if he said he [Trump] was sorry every day for a year?” Shedd asked.
“It’s possible that saying sorry is not enough, that’s true in a lot of situations, your honour,” Jadwat replied.
Although the fourth circuit has traditionally been a more conservative court, it has become more moderate in recent years after a series of Barack Obama-era appointments.
The Maryland injunction against Trump’s revised order applies only to the section preventing visa applications from the six-Muslim majority countries. The Hawaii order is broader and also applies to the attempt to halt refugee resettlement. Arguments in the Hawaii case will be heard by a panel of three federal appeals court judges at the ninth circuit next week.
During Monday’s hearing Wall, the acting solicitor general, told the court that the broader ruling in Hawaii had prevented the state department and the homeland security department from conducting further reviews of immigration vetting that the temporary stay on visas had been designed to bring about.
“Since March 16 we have complied with the Hawaii injunction and done nothing ,” Wall said.

Grand Jury starts issuing subpoenas in Russian investigation.

AG Sessions, who had to recuse himself from investigation recommends firing the FBI director.

The President who's campaign team if not himself is being investigated by the FBI fires said director.

President gets to handpick replacement to takeover and possibly discontinue investigation into him.

Woooosh!

Reason given...FBI director was unfair to Hliary Clinton...except Trump repeatedly applauded those actions at the time..

GOP will block calls for independent special prosecutor.

And Putins/Bannons dismantling of the US political system is complete.

 

Don't get me wrong. Comey should have gone over the Clinton/election debacle and under normal circumstances is testimony at the committee hearing last week digging himself deeper over it would normally be enough to be fired.

But....once Trump kept him on and once he announced he was leading an investigation that could lead to criminal charges to people in this administration he should then have been untouchable.

The timings of the firings are what the American people should concentrate on.

AG Yates: fired after pointing out that the travel ban was unconstitutional (so far an opinion upheld by court decisions) and pointing out the Trump appointed NSA director was compromised.

Comey: fired after news broke that the investigation in to Russia was starting into business end of proceedings.

Truly remarkable but yet depressingly unsurprising.

 

Lol...and to add a cherry..Trump as President of the US under possible investigation for collusion with the Russians...after firing the man leading the investigation with meet with the Russian foreign minister tomorrow..you know, the guy on the tapes talking to his campaign team members lol.

I don't what is worse...that he's guilty or just this politically incompetent that he can't see what all these decisions look like.
