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.
