Democrats in Congress Explore Creating an Expert Panel on Trump’s Mental Health
There is also a bill aimed at establishing a “commission on presidential capacity”

Three congressional Democrats have asked a psychiatrist at Yale School of Medicine to consult with them about forming an expert panel to offer the legislators advice on assessing President Trump’s mental health.

Yale’s Dr. Bandy Lee told STAT that over the last few weeks members of Congress or their staff have asked her to discuss how members might convene psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals “to review the president’s mental health, and review it on a periodic basis.” The closed meeting is expected to take place in September, she said....

Since his election and, increasingly, his inauguration, a number of mental health experts have spoken or written about what Trump’s behavior and speech suggest about his cognitive and emotional status, including impulsivity and paranoia, with some offering formal diagnoses, such as narcissistic personality disorder.

President Trump declares September 3 a national day of prayer.

An Israeli friend of mine told me that July 24 corresponded to the first day of the month of Av.

September 1, was exactly FORTY days after Av 1........... September 1 was the day that President Trump made that video!!!!!

That cannot be pure coincidece??????????????????!!




My theory is that President Donald J. Trump..... to at least a significant degree.... is indeed taken by the right hand by Messiah Yeshua - Jesus..... .in spite of his flaws and errors...... that we all have many of!


Isa 45:1


Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Which of the following would you agree with about Trump?

He is impulsive, such as cutting deals with the Democrats, and especially talking before he thinks about things

He thinks that everyone sees things from his point of view, acting surprised and generally accusing others of lying if they see things differently

He has an inflated view of himself, such as "I'm the richest, I'm the best, I'm the dealmaker," etc. when in fact he hasn't been able to achieve his goals.

He lacks diplomacy, aka the ability to deal with people in a sensitive and effective way. This would be evidenced by, i.e., the number of staff members he has gone through, and his inability to work with congress.


The thing is, you will find these traits listed under a number of different personality disorders. Most psychologists won't come out and diagnose him, because they would want to see him in person for a full examination; however, they believe he is a cause for concern. And it is worth noting that a number of psychologists HAVE broken the status quo, coming out and saying point blank that he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, that it is such a classic case that no in person assessment is needed.

It's not like cluster B personality disorders aren't common among politicians. We have narcissists and functional psychopaths galore. Hilary doesn't smell like a bed of roses.

But there is a lot to be said for the degree of dysfunction.

Let's list the members of Congress and their lack of leadership skills. They show their lunacy.... Let's give all members of Congress and Representatives a test of personality disorders.. and Trump still comes out with the better skill sets when it comes to leadership... except Trey Gowdy, Ben Carson, and a few others.

In a photo just released by The White House, President Donald J. Trump, joined by Vice President Mike Pence and members of the Cabinet, are seen in prayer prior to the start of their Cabinet meeting at Camp David. They are discussing the projected track and potential impact of Hurricane Irma as it approaches Florida.

Oh, I agree that politicians in general score higher than the average person in narcissism and psychopathy. But this is a matter of degree. Trump is burying our country in dysfunction. He is unable to pass legislation, and is creating trouble with our allies. The art of the deal? He only knows how to bully when he has more power. When others have power, he needs to negotiate, and he has no clue how.

I'm sorry for anyone's property being destroyed. But I feel a lot less sympathy for someone who has a gazillion dollars to replace it. It's not like Trump was hurt.
That represents years of work.. it is hard labor... it is years of collecting.. it is years of memories... it is home.. it is gone... I hear the "cold" heart speaking

Oh puhleeze. Life is not fair. I've lost years of sentimental things. I'm not crying about it. Trump has lived a relatively enchanted life. He has nothing to complain about.

A station is life is no excuse not to empathize. It is about our "Christ-like" character development rather than the incident itself.

Sympathy is for those who are truly hurt. I don't give sympathy to those who are just whining. It just encourages them to be narcissistic.

Democrats in Congress Explore Creating an Expert Panel on Trump's Mental Health

From the article:
"The request came from three current congressmen and one former member, she said. She declined to name them, saying they told her they did not wish to be publicly identified yet."

There is a reason for this. I can bet two of them are
John Lewis and Maxine Waters, who could use some
professional help themselves.

It Is Time To Talk Impeachment

1. to accuse (a public official) before an appropriate tribunal of misconduct in office.

Pathological lying is a form of “misconduct in office” making it an impeachable offence


Dump is a pathological liar and that is NOT what we want as our President.
We, the citizens of this great Nation must act NOW
What say you, fellow Americans-?

...................................................
Pathological lying (also called pseudologia fantastica and mythomania) is a behavior of habitual or compulsive lying.[1][2] It was first described in the medical literature in 1891 by Anton Delbrueck.[2] Although it is a controversial topic,[2] pathological lying has been defined as "falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime".[1] Individuals may be aware they are lying, or may believe they are telling the truth

Psychotherapy appears to be one of the only methods to treat a person suffering from pathological lying. No research has been performed regarding the use of pharmaceutical medication to treat pathological liars
.............................................

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of government. Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it is only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law, and is thus only the first step towards removal. Once an individual is impeached, he or she must then face the possibility of conviction via legislative vote, which then entails the removal of the individual from office.

Presidential Impeachment Process

Presidential Impeachment is a two stage Constitutional process. The full power of Impeachment and the removal of a sitting President resides within Congress. The actual impeachment of a President is the sole power of the House of Representatives. Once a President is impeached, the power of removing the President shifts to the U.S. Senate.

The House of Representatives starts the impeachment process by publicly investigating the charges and holding hearings. If the House of Representatives votes against impeachment the process is over and the President is not Impeached.

If the House of Representatives votes for Impeachment of the President, the process moves forward with the drawing up of the Articles of Impeachment (The official criminal charges for removal from office). The President has now been officially impeached per the United States Constitution. Once the Impeachment process is final, trials are then held in the U.S. Senate to convict or acquit the President of the Articles of Impeachment drawn against him.

Trump could also be charged with obstruction of justice

b.t.w. 30 days in jail would bring him back down to earth as well

Do you agree--?

It Is Time To Talk Impeachment
His non-stop lying is just one sign of a deep pathology. I can also list:
  • his inability to admit he is wrong
  • his inability to admit he has lost
  • attention seeking behavior that is over the top
  • aggressiveness that is dysfunctional (such as his saber rattling with N.Korea)
  • exaggerates accomplishments -- in fact even makes them up
  • expects to be recognized as superior without the achievements to back it up
  • lack of empathy
  • can't handle criticism
  • I could easily make this list twice as long
The point is, he doesn't have the social skills needed for diplomacy. He cannot work with Congress. He is alienating our allies. He's okay when he reads what his experts write for him on the teleprompter -- but he won't stick to that: he insists on opening his big fat mouth on twitter. He is, basically, an embarrassment to the nation, if not a threat to our security.
