Descent Into Madness
D. S. Mitchell
Experience
I am a Registered Nurse. Over my 38 year career I spent 10 years in Crisis Psychiatry. The symptoms of mental disorder I see in Trump are quite concerning. Quite flatly, Donald Trump is mentally ill. My observations are not political, but clinical. As a professional I see symptoms every day that Mr. Trump is deeply disturbed, both mentally and emotionally. I know, I am not alone in this belief. There has been a consensus among mental health professionals that President Trump is clearly mentally ill. I have disliked presidents and presidential policies, in the past. I have disliked certain presidential personality traits. But, never once, have I doubted a president’s mental capacity.
Grave Danger
If President Trump is as sick as I believe he is, his continued occupation of the White House is a minute by minute threat to our survival as a country. His mental illness is a grave danger to the country we love. Caligula, Hitler, Stalin, come to mind. I am sure you would be peeing your pants if one of these mentally ill men had access to our country’s nuclear weapons. Hell, yeah, you would be terrified. But, it goes beyond the nuclear codes.
