Excerpt from The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump
This is from the chapter by John D. Gartner, "Donald Trump is: a) Bad b) Mad c) All of the Above":
"...Trump is a profoundly evil man exhibiting malignant narcissism. His worsening hypomania is making him increasingly more irrational, grandiose, paranoid, aggressive, irritable, and impulsive. Trump is bad, mad, and getting worse. He evinces the most destructive and dangerous collection of psychiatric symptoms possible for a leader. The worse-case scenario is now our reality.
"...It's a catastrophe that might have been avoided if we in the mental health community had told the public the truth, instead of allowing ourselves to be gagged by the Goldwater rule...History will not be kind to a profession that aided the rise of an American Hitler through its silence."
Another of the authors points out that the Goldwater rule prohibits psychiatrists from talking about Trump's mental health without having had him as a patient; but if he were a patient, they couldn't talk about his mental health either, because of patient confidentiality.
