"It's gotten to the point where you don't have to be a doctor to see there's something seriously wrong here," Lee told me, adding that the decline into instability many are now observing in Trump was actually made inevitable by his ascent to the presidency. "Such mental instability in a position of power would eventually get worse because of rising expectations after the taste of power with the constraints of reality catching up with them."


Lee explained that although she has not examined Trump personally, she and a group of mental health experts concluded that based on the reports of his conduct contained in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, Trump "doesn't have the mental capacity to carry out his duties."


Lee and the other experts she's worked with joined more than 200 mental health professionals in signing a letter to members of Congress, in which they warned that "the unfolding of an impeachment inquiry raises the specter of President Trump feeling threatened in ways he never has before."

You can't believe in bullshit for decades and not have it alter your consciousness. Willful ignorance has taken a huge toll on a large portion of our population.
