Psychiatrist: Trump is deteriorating, exhibits first warning-signs of psychosis.

Dodes was speaking with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell regarding a deluge of bizarre claims reportedly being made by the president. The New York Times last week reported Trump has begun to express doubt that it was his voice on the “Access Hollywood” tape, in which the president can clearly be heard bragging about grabbing women by the genitals. Trump himself acknowledged and apologized for that tape last year. And on Tuesday, it was revealed Trump has resurrected false claims about Barack Obama’s nationality, once again suggesting his predecessor’s birth certificate is fake.

Discussing these and other jarring reports from the White House, Dodes said they present further examples of Trump “being close to psychosis when he is stressed. “

“When he goes back and denies reality, people have trouble understanding that,” Dodes said. “The simple explanation for it which people don’t want to hear, he is not in control of himself. This is what we say when somebody is becoming psychotic or briefly psychotic. So all of his delusional ideas come up when he is stressed in some way and then he loses track of reality because it doesn’t fit what he needs to believe.”

Dodes noted what’s problematic is that people believe it’s easy to differentiate psychotic people and healthy individuals. Unfortunately the world is more complicated, and people like Donald Trump are on the border and they slip into delusional thinking when stressed,” he explained.
Dodes called Trump’s deteriorating mental state “an extremely dangerous thing for anybody, especially somebody who has been so wantonly unconcerned about the welfare of others and willing to do anything to promote himself.”

1. They just want his

Signature on that tax bill.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. The good news is the tax bill will make the elderly and the poor so poor and so

shit out of luck the LAST thing they will be able to do is think about voting.

That is good news to ryan and the rest of these murderers.

But I suspect we will just sit back, do nothing and not even take back the house.

Please fucking tell me we arent that stupid.

I was using sarcasm about it being good news...fuck i hate having to add that

[niyad]

4. you forgot to mention the ones with cancer who will die because treatment will no longer be

covered.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Yeah, thanks.

We cant do anything.

Cons can rape, molest, steal, lie, commit treason, but we better not even suggest we are unhappy.

[MFM008]

8. Your right

My mom will lose her VA coverage.

[Scarsdale]

13. POW "hero" McCain

is voting for this bill. So much for being a maverick. He goes along with the gop every time. Taxpayers have kept him comfortably installed in office for enough years to make him a millionaire (from wealthy donors) Kept him covered with great healthcare. Time to re-adjust THEIR pensions and healthcare too. They leave office with big pensions (chickenfeed to them with their donors contributions) and live for ever. Look at the doddering old G.H.W. Bush. Still sucking off taxpayers and likely taking funds for "office supplies and help" We are being scammed - BIGLY.

22. His wife is a multimillionaire beer heiress. nt

[Scarsdale]

33. He married her

because of her daddy's money. Deserted his first wife, other politicians paid her medical bills since she had been badly injured in a car accident. She did not tell him her problems while he was in Viet Nam, he got home, saw she was handicapped and decided to seek greener pastures. His new father in law paved the way for his political office, so he could "fix" laws to benefit him. He has always been a conniving little s-o-b.

7. I have a question about?

If it's proven that he's psychotic, and has been for some time, then can anything he's signed while in that state, be considered legal?

[niyad]

10. that is a most interesting question.

[Scarsdale]

14. Does he even KNOW

what he signed? I doubt it. Too busy tweeting crap.

[getagrip_already]

18. doubtful...

there is nothing in the constitution that addresses it. They have ways to remove the potus, either through impeachment or using the 25th amendment, but nothing that relates to actual incompetence retroactively.

It would be way too complicated to nullify his presidency. The constitution abhors a vacuum. It is designed specifically to prevent one.

The adults in the room are supposed to prevent a zomby presidency. Clearly, we need an adult.

[BigmanPigman]

24. Reagun was the inventor of "I don't recall".

Later it turned out he had Alzheimer's and none of his BS legislation was nullified and voided. This fucking moron isn't the "Teflon president" where nothing sticks to him. He is more like a crazy con artist who will get away with murder (and on 5th Ave, to be exact).

[SCantiGOP]

27. but don't forget

Pedophiles and those with full-blown psychosis are still preferable to Democrats to the "base."

[BigmanPigman]

29. Maybe that is who they swim with...pedophiles

and crazies as part of their "normal" lives so they do not think it is sooooo bad. It is certainly not a priority in their pea sized brains and stone, cold hearts as well as there lack of a soul or moral compass. But I am sure they believe in God, blah, blah, blah....therefore they are superior to everyone else.

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. The issue of mental competency has been addressed a lot in cases of challenging wills

so the arguments are known, and part of case law.

But, not applied to Presidents.
Interesting situation.

To avoid the issue, he will be mostly likely charged with obstruction of justice, as Nixon was, which covers one of the reasons for impeachment. That is why Nixon resigned, to avoid impeachment, altho he had committed a lot of crimes, particularly the Watergate cover up, thus creating the now famous remark "It's not the crime, it is the cover up".

5. Does it matter what's wrong?

The fact is #fakepresident is a criminal.

[Gothmog]

9. Trump has been showing signs of senility for some time

11. Here's the video. I'm posting it everywhere this morning:

35. "if we can use the word works"

I LOLed

[Moral Compass]

12. We want this to be true

I think he’s getting the results he (or Putin) wants.

Yes, he knows nothing about policy but he knows that putting people hostile to the missions of the Department in charge of that department will effectively neuter that organization. He knows that by putting blatantly political hacks into key judgeships that he can demand and get the rulings he wants (we just saw that with the ruling allowing Mulvaney to take over the CFPB).

He has effectively shattered our key alliances and made overtures to strongmen (Putin the most notable). He has the Justice Department entertaining the idea of launching witch hunts against his political opponents. He has Mitch McConnell so cowed that he is pushing through a politically suicidal tax bill that just happens to have everything in it that will directly benefit him and his heirs.

Trump may be correct when he says that he has accomplished more than any other President in the same span of time. His accomplishments just haven’t been legislative to date.

Crazy? Doesn’t really look like it from here.

I’ve got a really bad feeling about this and I think you do too. While we’re waiting for Mueller to ride up over the horizon to save the day the war may have already been lost.

[raccoon]

30. Great post. You've given me lots to think about. Nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. Question: Has he legitimately convinced himself that neither he nor anyone associated with him...

....never had any sort of inappropriate dealings with Russia?

That he’s not just lying but that he’s convinced himself that the Russia story is a bunch of nonsense even considering all the dealings he and everyone around him have had with Russia, both over the years and during the election?

[Nitram]

16. Every Republican in Congress is guilty of treason for supporting a maniac in the White House for

their own political gain.

[Doitnow]

17. Dump is hardly "unconcerned" about others' welfare. I think he actually delights in

other peoples misery and takes every opportunity to incite hatred and division and any other horror he can conjure.

[onit2day]

19. Please someone restrain him. Stop pretending he is ok.

[H2O Man]

23. Recommended.

I was pleased to see that last night. My last OP, which I had posted a few hours before the show, said basically the same thing (in some instances, word for word). One of my associates thought that was impressive timing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. "First"???!!! nt

32. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters!!!!

Nothing will happen.

36. If stress makes him worse, prison is going to be really rough.

37. Could be neurosyphilis

OR rabies. Lol
