That's the most straight forward, real news, I've read in awhile.

And yet, the excuses continue.

You mean the non scientific analysis a man made on trump without ever meeting him is "the most straight forward, real news" you've heard in awhile?

I think your emotional insecurities and fears clouds your judgement rendering you incapable of acknowledging confirmation bias.

See in can do it too..

It doesn't take a professional to know what Trump is.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know." - John Heywood

. . . now you just have to figure out who this quote is addressing:

NO, I don't. No need for deflection.

"Blind who will not see . . . " -- fits many Trump supporters.

Sorry, in the spirit of the thread I provided you with and opportunity for self analysis. Accusing someone of deflection is the psychological equivalent of liberals calling conservatives "racist"

You provided me. Oh how thoughtful. This is not about racism.

". . . too blind to see . . . " -- stands on its own.

...apparently metaphor is a foreign concept also....I'm out, good luck in your world.

Flawed according to who? You? Have you examined him? Or is that simply your opinion? See how that works.
And violated what ethics? You'll need to elaborate on that.

Read the linked story in the OP. He is admittedly violating his professional code of ethics.... which constitutes a FLAW.

I may have misjudged you and your intent. I'm still not sure.

I really don't feel right about bringing something race related into this.

I like to keep my messages simple. Not cloud them.

Psychiatry is fortunately a discipline that only requires observation. Not questioning. They do very little in the way of questioning so I feel very comfortable accepting a diagnosis based on observation.
That's the discipline of the specialty. Observe. You don't need him on a couch. We can observe him under many different circumstances and we can observe how he reacts to different situations and that is all a psychiatrist needs to do to diagnose trump.
What do you think a doctor hired to evaluate him would do? Get him to talk about how he wants to bang his daughter?

a reply to: Sillyolme

I don't think anyone has ever questioned that trump has questionable traits.

The issue is that you guys find every single opportunity to use it against him as if it has any relevance to us and his presidency ..

What has his questionable character traits done so far under his presidency that has effected us negatively?

So you'd rather have a supposedly 'spic and span flawless politically correct cookie cutter candidate" that says all the right things but behind closed doors is completely different ?

We always asked for transparancy and now that we got it, all you guys do is critisize his character .

IMO is refreshing to see a human with flaws.

See pseudo apology in separate post.

Pseudo only because I'm not sure of the intent of bringing in a quote from: "Black Skin, White Masks".

...and when did this clinical examination take place, again? Must have missed it.

Based upon what? Pictures carefully chosen to support his views?

What is his evidence?

Thankyou for that Man. The title was taken from the article. Now, at your suggestion I have found on his website that he is not a top psychologist at JH as the article states but rather a part time employee. I would change that headline but I have now exceeded the ATS time limit to do so. Thanks again.

The irony is the same posters on here disputing this , were making claims about Clinton by observing her behavior as well...many agreeing with psychological observations about her on the campaign trail....remember she was sick, crazy and had some sort of disorder as well....despite lack of proof from her doctors

I'm definitely "never Clinton" camp but I can't help but notice the hypocrisy

In other words he is many times more sane than the average progressive socialist America hating scumbag.

Let me guess, The guy is a liberal Democrat.

As his supporters are so fond of saying, it's only been a few weeks...give it time

What we can go by is how he ran his campaign, completely lied about opposition, treated his opposition not only horribly but downright nasty, even going past the political norm ,disregarded facts and in many instances made up his own facts (also otherwise known as lying)....remember him spreading the lie Cruz dad helped kill Kennedy? He even got brieghtbart to report that....

That sort of behavior can be dangerous and disasterous

We always asked for transparancy and now that we got it, all you guys do is critisize his character .

I don't regard a man who will wontonly spread complete lies at will , despite obvious facts as transparent

The doctor has made the observations most of us have..however having not examined or interviewed Trump, he cannot call it a true diagnosis..just his personal opinion.

Someone will no doubt cite that it was the doctor's professional opinion....
The professional opinion of a flawed man that violated the ethics of his own profession.
Physician, heal thyself.

Actually, even though he never saw Trump, this psychologist is bound by the law not to tell anyone what he thinks about their mental state. He actually should have his license revoked. A psychiatrist can have a neutral personal opinion but it cannot be one like this where he states a name. I actually hope this psychiatrist gets their license revoked for using their certification to make an illegal statement about someone. I can say more, I do not have those regulations governing me, I just have to worry about slander.

Malignant Narcissists will go to great lengths to achieve their aim. They can be intelligent, high functioning (hold an important job for example) soft-spoken, charming, tearful/seemingly emotional, gracious, well mannered, kind and have the ability to form relationships. They may lie, falsely accuse, dramatize, smear, cheat, steal, manipulate, accuse, blame or twist to get what they want and feel justified in doing so. Because they are entitled, egocentric and desperate, they do not experience it as wrong. They are determined to gratify their wishes and furious if thwarted. Their desire can be so consuming that there is little comprehension of, respect for or ability to empathize with the other. They lack guilt or remorse and tend to feel or pronounce that it is they who have been mistreated.

What else is new?
Anybody with any sense already knew Trump was a mentally deranged person


But the diagnosis Malignant Narcissists from an expert makes sense.

a reply to: rickymouse

So what look how many laws and rules Trump has already broken

"The fish rots from the head down"

Seems to me the FBI employes diognostics withoutcontact in many cases. Would they use that approach if it didn't work reasonably well?

BUT, it is not considered the be all and end all, and is ofen revised as developements warrant.

In this context, it could only be a red flag to watch.

Only time will tell.

I've been saying this all along.
Of course I'm not a doctor buy I sure as hell know crazy when I see it.

Well you know what they say , 'It takes one to know one'.

Someone using his, shall we say, overstated qualifications to reinforce his "diagnosis"?

I love the smell of nonexistent ethics in the morning--yep, still morning, barely.

Long four years. Long, long, long four years.

a reply to: seagull

Yeah the same ethics that prevents Trump from releasing his taxes
