Is Trump mentally ill?

Whatever your political persuasion, defend your corner here. All we ask is that you voice YOUR opinion, rather than just post a link to a half-hour youtube video. Politics can get a bit lively, and if you prefer a less combative debate, please post in the Politics for Moderates section instead.

It also says in the article that Trump could have a good sleeper gene and there is the chance Mr Trump is one of the two per cent of the population who does not need much sleep......

Trump issues EO controlling migration, citing danger of letting terrorists into the country.

Media claims the threat is minimal, and an over-reaction

Trump responds by saying media under-report terrorist activity

Media responds by filling the airwaves with examples of where they have fully reported terrorist incidents, especially those performed by 'refugees' pretty much on a loop for 24hrs, making Trumps point for him to his target audience.

Yep, see what you mean, the man is clearly a loon

They'll report trivia on TV from downtown, but overlook important events from the rest of the world. Most Americans know or care little about what happens outside their shores. So it's not a case of the media suppressing news, but rather the populace not being interested to receive it.

That said, I get news from Yahoo.uk and Yahoo.usa on my desktop, so the news is out there for those who wish to receive it and learn.
Lloyd, research showed that the average Fox News watcher in the USA, knew less about world affairs, than the average person there, who watched no news :mrgreen:

Mental health professionals warn Trump is incapable of being president
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 78831.html

The President’s tendency to “distort reality” to fit his “personal myth of greatness” and attack those who challenge him with facts was likely to increase in a position of power, they added.
It is usually frowned upon among psychiatrists to give a professional opinion of the mental state of a public figure they have not examined in person, as dictated by a passage in the American Psychiatric Association’s code of ethics known as the Goldwater rule.
But in a letter to the New York Times, the doctors said they had decided it was necessary to break their silence on the matter because they feared “too much is at stake”.


More and more people saying that the guy is a looney-tune.
And now he is in the public eye this is much more visible.
Some serious signatures on the NYT letter. Harvard Medical School and the like!

The Goldwater Rule:
On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.
