Mental Health professionals meet at Yale to Discuss Trump

A group of mental health professionals claiming President Donald Trump is too mentally ill to serve has taken fire not just from Trump supporters — but also from those in their own field.
The organization’s members, however, remain steadfast in their belief that Trump is a potential hazard to the American people.


Gartner is a founding member of Duty to Warn, an organization of mental health professionals who think Trump is mentally unfit to be president. The group will have its first conference 11 a.m. Thursday at Yale University’s Sterling Hall of Medicine.

Gartner and other members of Duty to Warn are lobbying members of Congress to remove Trump from office due to lack of mental fitness. Though a petition supporting this effort has garnered 41,000 signatures, Gartner said the effort has gotten little traction among legislators.


As some prominent psychiatrists have noted, (Trump’s mental health) is the elephant in the room,” Lee said. “I think the public is really starting to catch on and widely talk about this now.”
