    Default BOUT TIME: NEW BILL REQUIRING tramp to undergo mental evaluation

    A New Bill Would Require Donald Trump To Undergo Mental Health Evaluation

    Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) isn't a psychiatrist, but she wants to make the president see one.

    A new bill introduced in the House of Representatives would require President Donald Trump to undergo a physical and mental health exam to determine if he is stable enough to stay in office.
    Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) introduced the bill on Friday. Should the results of the said exam be unfavorable, the bill calls for Vice President Mike Pence and members of the Cabinet to remove Trump from office.
    The move would invoke the 25th Amendment, a rarely-used constitutional provision that allows the vice president and a majority of Cabinet members to jointly remove the president from office and replace him with the vice president.
    "Does the President suffer from early stage dementia," Lofgren asked in a statement announcing the bill.
    "Has emotional disorder so impaired the President that he is unable to discharge his duties," she continued. "Is the President mentally and emotionally stable?"
    Lofgren pointed out that Trump has not yet released a "serious" medical evaluation to the public.

    Lofgren, who represents California's 19th district, is not a professional psychiatrist or psychologist, according to Mercury News.
    She doesn't expect the bill to pass, but she told the newspaper "it will stimulate conversation," adding that Trump would get the evaluation if "he cares about the country."
    Lofgren has often criticized Trump's remarks and policies throughout his presidency. The representative suggested on Tuesday that "something is seriously wrong with President Trump," responding to his off-the-cuff remarks on the Charlottesville white supremacist riot made during an impromptu Q&A with reporters in New York.
    "Why can't he just condemn Nazis," she asked on Twitter. "Unscripted words today show who he really is. Shameful!"

    Lofgren isn't the first politician or critic to suggest invoking the 25th Amendment to boot the 45th President out of the White House.
    In June, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) led 25 House Democrats to co-sign a bill that would also oust Trump from the Oval Office under the amendment. Commenting on his bill, Raskin told Yahoo News "in case of emergency, break glass."
    Articles and op-eds exploring the 25th Amendment in detail have also sprung up on Washington Post, Rolling Stones, New York Times and Time Magazine since Trump took office. Meanwhile, Trump has continued to draw ire from the country for everything from his policies on immigration, Muslim travel bans and dangerous health care bills, to remarks that suggest that there are "fine people" who attend a white supremacy rally.
    And this summer, the hashtag #25thAmendment began trending on Twitter.
    That's why Lofgren is calling for Mike Pence and other Cabinet members to "quickly secure ... medical and psychiatric professionals" to evaluate Trump's mental health and any possible impairments.
    "If it was a physical ailment, you would be getting the advice of doctors," Lofgren told Mercury News. "The same thing should be true to take a look at his stability here."

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    There is a legit discussion on CNN right now about Trump's mental health and fitness to lead.

    How is it that every American doesn't recognize that this is an issue?

    When followers say "fake news," all they're saying is that they don't think for themselves, and that they let Trump think for them.

    Trump has mental issues. That is a fact.

    do you want to define "mental issues" as a "fact"? or do you just want to bloviate and feel good about it?

    Trump is not suffering from a mental illness in the traditional sense, but rather a mental disorder. People who are mentally ill can be treated. Someone with a mental disorder (narcissism, sociopathy) cannot really be treated because they lack attributes such as empathy (which I argue is the most highly evolved human attribute).

    You dodged his question.

    Trump is undisciplined, unfocused, does not seem to care in the least about governance and policy making, uses twitter to pursue personal vendettas, is paranoid, and reportedly "yells at his television" when he doesn't like the reporting.

    Does this seem remotely normal to you, let alone appropriate for the most important and difficult job in the world??

    He is a textbook pathological liar, just for starters. That is undeniable.

    So, that's a mental issue. Lots of people have them - the discussion is more about how severe they are for Trump, and if they cross that threshold which makes him unfit to lead.

    I believe they do. He's a pathological liar, and also an extremely delusional individual.

    They are symptoms of a disorder. I would say it all comes down to Trump's lack of empathy, which puts him in the mental disorder category. He is the epitome of a sociopath.
