Psychiatrist warns sociopath Trump ‘could see dead bodies’ from coronavirus ‘and step over them’

Dr. Justin Frank literally wrote the book on Donald Trump’s mind and behavior. In “Trump on the Couch,” Frank tracks Trump’s life from childhood to adulthood and reveals a man who is mentally unfit in many ways — from his intelligence, values, emotions and temperament down to the deepest parts of the psyche — to be president of the United States of America.

In the conclusion of Frank’s book he warned that Donald Trump would represent a dire threat to the safety, security and future of America and the world. In all, the power of the presidency is too vast and the opportunities for abusing that power are too great for a personality and mind such as Donald Trump’s to resist.
On both a day-to-day basis, and in crises such as the Russia and Ukraine scandals and now the coronavirus (all of which are largely self-made and self-inflicted) Donald Trump’s poor mental health has only gotten worse. Unfortunately, the presidency, with its unique burdens and responsibilities, have not forced Trump to become a better person and to rise to the occasion. Instead, he has been caught in the undertow of a public downward spiral.
Trump’s lies, delusions, greed, corruption and malignant narcissism have thrown the United States and the world into peril as this unstable president has confronted the coronavirus pandemic in increasingly erratic fashion. It’s a crisis of science and empirical reality that he cannot simply wish away or ignore, much as he has tried.
In addition to “Trump on the Couch,” Frank is also the author of bestsellers about the previous two presidents, “Bush on the Couch” and “Obama on the Couch.” He is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center and a physician with more than 40 years of experience in psychoanalysis.In this conversation, Frank told me that Donald Trump is essentially a sociopath who has no feelings of care, concern or empathy for other human beings. More frightening still, Frank raised the possibility that Trump is not capable of feeling guilt or remorse. Not only will Trump feel no responsibility for the thousands if not millions of Americans who may die in the coronavirus pandemic, Frank said, he is likely to blame Barack Obama and the Democrats for the carnage. Trump’s followers, Frank warned, now perceive him as an infallible deity, and will obey his commands — even at the risk of their own lives.
You wrote a book about the dangers represented by Donald Trump because of his mental health. You warned that he should not become president. Did you believe that Trump’s behavior and the damage he is causing to the country and the world would get this bad?
Here is a quote from my book “Trump on the Couch”: “Failure to intervene places the nation’s people, rights and institutions at increasing risk of ending up as collateral damage in the wake of the externalization of Trump’s epic internal struggle.”

This "Psychiatrist" appears to be projecting says Psychiatrist... LOL. Stupid.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

If you guys are too dumb to know,.....nothing I say is going to matter. But I'll say this at least. As the media has continued to hang everything on Potus and make a national emergency situation about politics instead of about the emergency itself all his polling numbers have done is risen. Check yourself...they just go up up UP. Now add to that,...the fact that the dems in the house tried to make this even more political by packing the corona rescue package with so many left wing wish list items that have ZERO to do with the virus situation and lemme tell ya.....the people are not only pissed,....BUT FUCKING PISSED. And they should be. But like I say,....by all means continue. You are only helping us as the many poll numbers show.
