Johns Hopkins Top Psychologist Releases Terrifying Diagnosis

One of the nation’s top psychologists just broke one of his profession’s ethics rules to give President Donald Trump a professional diagnosis.

John D. Gartner, a psychotherapist who teaches at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, told US News that he believes Trump has “malignant narcissism,” which is incurable, and different from narcissistic personality disorder. Gartner violated the “Goldwater Rule” of the psychology profession, in which a diagnosis of a public figure without personally examining them, and without their consent, is considered unethical.

“Donald Trump is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president,” Gartner said, citing his movements and behavior, pointing out the president’s tendency for grandiosity, sadism, aggressiveness, paranoia, and anti-social behavioral patterns.

“We’ve seen enough public behavior by Donald Trump now that we can make this diagnosis indisputably,” Gartner added.

Indeed, the diagnosis fits the bill of Psychology Today’s definition of malignant narcissism, which, when described, sounds like Donald Trump almost to the letter. Carrie Barron, M.D., who wrote the magazine’s blog on Malignant Narcissism, says the disorder “renders these individuals scary, dangerous, and ruthless.”

1. We are so screwed...

We have a mentally unstable man with practically unlimited power and the mightiest military and the codes for launching a nuclear war...

2. If you were unlucky enough to have to spent some time in a mental facility.......

it becomes quite easy to identify these types of people and appropriate ways to deal with them. Many doctors and supporting staff know only part of what goes through a person's heads that are mentally unstable. The people who scare me are the people who are afraid of him and or his whole milieu. He cannot function unless people act in ways he can predict. Thus the old adage, when things get crazy the crazies go pro.

I wouldn't worry too much, there is an instinctive response in us humans that will kick in eventually, sort of like messing with a bee hive.

3. He may be crazy but Bannon isn't.

Who do you think is deciding which EO's will incite the most anger and fear? Who plans the decimation of the State Dept.? Who points the Twitler's ire at the most vulnerable targets?

Bannon has a plan and it doesn't include governing, but weakening government and consolidating power.
