The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President by Bandy X. Lee

3.0

Interesting and depressing. Twenty-seven people who know a lot about mental health give review of Donald Trump's mental state, and it's not pretty. The man holding the most power in the world is emotionally and developmentally stunted, lacks empathy, is possibly sociopathic, and has a host of other mental issues that probably make him incompetent to be in the office in which we find him.

This book is full of examples of his aberrant behavior from the campaign and the first couple of months of his time in office. I wonder what the experts would have to say about the rest of his time.

In the words of Rupert Giles from Buffy, the Vampire Slayer - "The Earth is doomed."

Oh, a few words on this work before I go. I was expecting a full-on politicized work bashing Trump, but most of the assessments are pretty objective. The work does get a bit repetitive as the experts come to the same conclusions and cite many of the same examples. I imagine it will become a fairly important work for historians who might look into the character of this character to see what he did and why.
