"Three congressional Democrats have asked a psychiatrist at Yale School of Medicine to consult with them about forming an expert panel to offer the legislators advice on assessing President Trump’s mental health.

Yale’s Dr. Bandy Lee told STAT that over the last few weeks members of Congress or their staff have asked her to discuss how members might convene psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals “to review the president’s mental health, and review it on a periodic basis.” The closed meeting is expected to take place in September, she said.

The request came from three current congressmen and one former member, she said. She declined to name them, saying they told her they did not wish to be publicly identified yet.

The invitation comes as 27 representatives, all Democrats, have co-sponsored a bill to establish “a commission on presidential capacity.” The commission would carry out a provision of the 25th Amendment, which gives Congress the authority to establish “a body” with the power to declare a president “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Under the bill, H.R. 1987, eight of the 11 members of the commission would be physicians, including four psychiatrists.

Trump has not released his medical records beyond a brief summary from his physician last year. He has said he never sought or received a mental health evaluation or therapy.

But since his election and, increasingly, his inauguration, a number of mental health experts have spoken or written about what Trump’s behavior and speech suggest about his cognitive and emotional status, including impulsivity and paranoia, with some offering formal diagnoses, such as narcissistic personality disorder."




Democrats haven't been this salty over a Republican winning since Lincoln. Get over it, you fucking lost.

He's not insane, he's just an arrogant incompetent blowhard whose bravado got him much farther than it should have, and now there's too many cameras on him for him to hide it. It will probably significantly hurt his businesses as well, when the obnoxious gilded "poor person's persona of a rich person" has finally been fully exposed. The reviews of the fucking terrible Trump Grill with the supposed "best taco bowl" were hilarious to read, partly because some of them genuinely gave it a chance.

He's the most Dunning Kruger individual I can think of. He's got so much unabashed pride relative to his ignorance and incompetence it's actually mind boggling.

It shouldn't be hard to pick a worse side between "Nazi flag waving fascist supremacists vs. basically anything other than Vlad the Impaler"
