President Trump is Psychotic -- Psychiatrist L. Dodes Says

[maximumpossiblesuffering]

The danger I see immediately ahead is that interpretation of our laws depends heavily on precedent. If we play along to placate those with the loudest, most belligerant voices, we may set a terrible precedent that will come back to haunt us. We are, as I see it, at a crossroad. Do we want to maintain separation of legislative and executive branch powers?, or do we want to vest legislative power in the Executive?

For me personally the answer to that question is clear. So I see it as a matter of survival of the present Republic that the Executive not be allowed to subsume power given by the Constitution only to the legislative branch. If we to allow the President to circumvent the legislative branch solely because the legislature will not give him what he wants, regardless of his arguments, then the President must not, I would think, be allowed to turn the Constitution on its head by declaring an "Emergency". If the legislative branch determines that no true emergency exists, they must block the President's order so as not to set a precedent that might ultimately bring down the republic by subterfuge.

In a true emergency, the legislative branch has not time enough to react, and under those circumstances the President is authorized to take actions and assume responsibilities that are normally given only to the legislative branch. If there is time for Congress to block the Presidents "emergency order," then by definition, no true emergency exists.

No law exists that would allow the President to declare an emergency with regard to the Southern border, regardless of the facts on the ground. The Congress has had years to react legislatively to illegal and legal immigration via our Southern Border. It has done so as it saw fit. Even in the present manufactured crisis, the Congress has had many months to react. That certainly does net meet any definition of the word "emergency."

Do you recall that story of Franklin, possibly apocryphal? He was supposedly asked, " What kind of government is the new nation to have?" He responded, " A Republic Madame, if you can keep it."

"The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health.These are words for all Americans to make note of in this time when the survival of our Republic is being challenged." -- Richard Beeman, Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania

Trump may have already been advised his declaration will not ultimately stand up. However, it appeared Trump was out of options to “save face” politically. At least now, he may have a chance to blame others for his failure to deliver on the wall after showing he “tried”.

Our courts are part of our checks and balances and will likely follow our Constitution and precident over any political philosophy the justices may personally have. I’m sure they would take a dim view of any politician attempting to mess with the DNA of our country.

Edit: Instead of messing with the DNA of our country, my post should read “Inappropiate use of executive power”.

I hope your right.

Found your guy for the job GWB (he's below), because undermining a democracy and attempting a coup is totally level headed

There are clear medical guidelines against a psychiatrist pushing claims about an individual they never personally examined. These guidelines are in place to prevent quacks from pushing their "analysis" for political or personal purposes. Lance Dodes has clearly violated these guidelines and should lose his credentials as well as membership in medical organizations immediately. Quacks like this are a worst threat to the United States than politicians.

So 60,000 people went to some guy's "Duty to Warn" website and signed his online petition. There is very little evidence that even a fraction of them are mental health professionals.

The American Psychiatric Association has re-affirmed the Goldwater rule stating that mental health experts must not offer a professional diagnosis of any person they have not personally examined. They also sent a warning letter to all of their members about this after the Duty to Warn clowns started pushing their campaign.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder requires a direct personal examination of the person and a 4 year medical degree to label correctly.

They are medical guidelines. They are also HIPPA compliance guidelines. State Medical Boards can remove licenses of shrinks who violate them. It is long overdue that state medical boards start taking appropriate actions against those who violate medical standards.

It is fascinating the John Gartner is not facing action from medical organizations for his inappropriate acts which violate all medical standards for shrinks.

Dr. John Gartner, Founder of "Duty To Warn" and co-editor of "Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the Mind of Donald Trump," joins the 'David Pakman Show' to discuss the mental health conditions he believes Donald Trump has, which would justify his removal from the Presidency under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.

These are 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts who should immediately lose their licenses and jobs due to violating ethical and medical standards.

this guy:

2018..."The US president asked to be administered a mental test and was given the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as part of a medical exam by Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician, who on Tuesday said he had absolutely no concerns about Mr Trump's neurological function. The president scored 30 out of 30."

2020..

In the video, the words from his mouth he says he scored 35/35.

So your hero and totally sane POTUS was out there knowingly COVID+ meeting gold star parents w/a novel virus that's killed millions in the early stages when we had nothing to combat it. Lying on interviews about how said parents "gave it to him", standing few feet away from a man in his late 70's yelling at him, chastising him about wearing masks. All of this while COVID+. Totally sane though right GWB?

I don't care if the President is Trump or Biden --as outlined by the American Psychiatric Association psychiatrists should never be pushing claims about an individual they never personally examined. It breaks all sorts of medical standards and is simply wrong.

Seems like their diagnosis is spot on to anyone with eyes and ears.

You have an idea on your head based on nothing but your gist that somebody has to be "personally examined" to form a diagnosis, that's simply not correct when there is the greater good of the community/nation/world we all live on to serve. There are exceptions to most rules.

Normal people think Trump is playing a role, its only partly true. Truly grasping and certainly seeing patients adversely affected by him they are inclined to warn the community of which they are a part and also at risk.

The idea of "duty to warn" has been examined many times and it always lands on once a psychiatrist (or other therapist) believes a patient is a serious danger, they have to speak up.

"Justice Matthew Tobriner of the California Supreme Court, in the now-famous Tarasoff cases, who created a therapist-specific version of the legal “duty to warn” of tort law, overriding the therapist’s ethical duty of confidentiality. Writing for the majority in his 1976 opinion, he declared that in “this risk-infested society we can hardly tolerate the further exposure to danger that would result from a concealed knowledge of the therapist that his patient was lethal.”
"

And they were correct, Trump was lethal to tens and likely hundreds of thousands. If he was in again, another disaster would unfold as the parts of him that are not an act will ensure that.

I would imagine psychiatrists need to "examine" a patient first hand because they need to hear the patient speak, so that they can try to understand what the patient thinks and believes. For the ordinary patient, with little directed and recorded speech available, that would of course require in-person examination. But for a bloviator like Drumpf there's far more than enough material to make an accurate diagnosis.
