UPDATES to 2 January 2018
Friday, 1 December 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Mental health professionals so extremely concerned about President Trump's further mental deterioration after carefully observing and studying his public appearances from afar have felt compelled to take the extraordinary step of invoking their "duty to warn" as obligating them in their opinion even when some depending on their specific mental health profession believe themselves normally constrained by the "Goldwater rule" to make no diagnosis without personally examining a patient now publicly to emphatically express their shared grave fears at least in lay terms warning of the extreme immediate dangers now posed by President Trump to the survival potentially of the entire world community given his legally unchecked sole nuclear launch authority irreversible within five minutes of exercising his launch command even without those mental health professionals necessarily designating a specific diagnosis. Some mental health professionals have made reference to a condition of malignant narcissism when warning about Trump's worsening mental incompetence and lack of fitness for office.
Their most immediate concerns specifically are about the public danger they believe to be posed by President Trump as has been evidenced by the multitude of actions taken by members of the mental health community including without limitation publishing countless individual articles in a diverse variety of publications and convening a conference of mental health professionals at but not sponsored by Yale University on the subject as well as contributing to the book described in the below Newsweek article link also including many other actions including some reported in previous posts here including but not limited to a march of "Duty to Warn" mental health professionals in lower Manhattan to try to bring their most serious concerns about the dangerous mental condition of President Trump to the attention of the greater American public.
These mental health professionals are joined by a growing chorus of others including those in frequent daily contact with President Trump or long familiar with him personally and/or through close reporting such as a diverse stream of guests on MSNBC's Morning Joe expressing concerns of markedly more urgent intensity regarding the increasingly apparent seriously disturbing mental health problems manifested by the President nearing a crescendo of symptoms crying out at least to some that the President right now has reached the point of being dangerously unfit and incompetent to serve in such a dangerously impaired state as to be unable to discharge the monumental and most consequential responsibilities of his office.
Just as the United States for the first and only time since the October 1962 Cuban missile crisis finds itself in a known situation of such dire risk as to pose an imminent threat of nuclear war that likely could kill a minimum of millions of people with further significant risk of an unintended escalation from there to the point of becoming an an existential threat to all life on the planet the United States finds itself with a commander-in-chief in Trump who at this time has deteriorated into a state where he presently has been deemed by an increasing group of those in the best positions to know that the President Trump is unable to rationally and safely deal with such a risk so as to guide and engage his administration in a most delicate exercise of complex diplomacy to defuse this crisis rather than exacerbating it into near-certain catastrophe. The urgency of the situation is made all the greater by what "fearsome" advances as set out in the second New York Times article linked to below the latest North Korean both bigger and more powerful missile tested represents in the opinion of diverse experts some of whom believe that the North Korean missile is within a couple more tests of being able with at least low reliability to deliver a medium-sized nuclear payload to anywhere in the continental United States after the experts had examined the information about the most recently fired North Korean missile in the available photographic evidence.
Interested readers can go to the link below for a brief Newsweek article including a recitation of the reasons for and the degree of the intense level of concern as expressed by two of the mental health professionals who have been actively engaged as leading voices among mental health professionals who feel compelled to warn of President Trump's current dangerous mental condition and lack of competence to discharge his duties based on the principal of "duty to warn" on an ongoing basis taking into account the extremely high level of danger that entails due to a combination of world events and the President's mental condition. The two professionals believe that Trump's growing delusions as evidenced in part by Trump revisiting earlier conspiracy theories he was thought to have abandoned including regarding the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate as well as apparently new delusions including that Trump himself was not actually the one recorded on the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape even though Trump previously has publicly acknowledged that fact. According to the Newsweek article linked to below "[a] devastating war is inevitable, both men said, if Trump remains in office."
For interested readers only a couple citations are linked to below through which a few more articles also are available via internal links and/or other references therein because these concerns as to the dangers posed by President Trump's mental condition and the threats this represents to the national security have become so widely available to readers through diverse media that readers can best choose their own sources for this information of the President's condition especially as so closely tied to rapidly unfolding events. For example the pressures of the Russia-Trump investigation most recently with Trump former national security adviser General Michael Flynn just having pleaded guilty having entered a plea deal doubtless have impacted President Trump although no news of the impact of that development to his mental condition has been available to take into account as of the time of this post.
