Psychologists Say President Trump is Mentally Unbalanced

Psychiatrists and psychologists say President Trump is mentally unbalanced. White House officials reached out to a noted psychiatrist from Yale University last year because of ‘erratic behavior’ by President Trump. Now, the new Op-Ed resistance letter in The New York Times has lit another fuse. In a recent NY Daily News article, reporter Dennis Slattery retraces last years inquiries about the president’s mental state. This year the hot new story is the Op-Ed article written anonymously and published in the New York Times.  The president is furious. He is lashing out and demanding that The New York Times release the name of the author. At the same time, he claims the article is all a lie.   Once again, people are questioning the president’s mental state of mind.
Dr. Bandy Lee, who edited the best-selling book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told the Daily News Thursday the staffers contacted her because the President was “scaring” them.
