    Is the President Nuts? How About the Psychiatrists Who Think So? Bernie Goldberg

    It’s been a while now since the president’s doctor said that while Mr. Trump could stand to lose a few pounds, he’s in “excellent” health. He’s got a good heart rate, good blood pressure levels — and when it comes to his cognitive abilities, he’s AOK.

    When he announced all that at a nationally televised news conference you could see the disappointment on the faces of many reporters in the White House pressroom. And based on the questions they asked, you’d be excused if you got the impression, more than a few of them were kind of hoping he had a terminal disease.

    And you just know that there’s not a progressive this side of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren who believes the president is mentally okay, no matter what his doctor said. They thought the president was nuts before the examination and they think he’s nuts after the examination.

    You might excuse the liberals who live in the world of politics for their wishful thinking, but what about the mental health professionals who also think the president is dangerous and most likely not playing with a full deck?

    Last December, Yale psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee briefed about a dozen Democrats in Congress on President Trump’s mental health. Later she told Politico, “He’s going to unravel,” adding that, “Trump is going to get worse and will become uncontainable with the pressures of the presidency.”


    Dr. Lee compiled a controversial book called “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” a collection of essays by 27 psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health professionals that raised doubts about his mental fitness.

    Oh, before I forget, neither Dr. Lee nor any of the others who contributed to the book has ever examined Donald Trump.

    Under the American Psychiatric Association’s “Goldwater Rule,” it’s unethical for a psychiatrist to comment on a public figure’s mental health without first examining him. Dr. Lee says she’s not engaging in “armchair psychiatry” and hasn’t violated any ethical code. But, after several Members of the House said they plan to bring her in to host future events, Sally Satel, also a Yale psychiatrist wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “I wish Dr. Lee would stop making House calls. Her actions risk discrediting our profession.”

    After the president’s doctor said he passed the cognitive skills test, Dr. Lee said he needs a more comprehensive test, “an in-depth neuropsychiatric evaluation by experts,” as she put it in an op-ed in USA Today which she co-wrote with Norman Eisen, who served as Barack Obama’s ethics czar (whatever that means)...

    Now you have psychiatrists basing their opinion on their politics, and doing it without even having examined Trump. Despicable behavior, and being tolerated. Again, beating a dead horse, but if this was being done to a liberal president by psychiatrists the liberal press would be denouncing it vehemently. And if a liberal president was doing the same thing you'd never hear a peep out of the press.

    Exactly the way libs base their reasoning. "He's crazy, but I have never examined him."

    These people are NUTS!
