The Need For Our Politicians, Business Leaders, and Citizens to Recognize Trump’s Sickness and Intervene Before He Does Any More Damage to the Country and the World
Then, with Trump attacking allies while selling out to our enemies as he craves King-like adoration and has child-like tantrums over the mildest criticism, we will look into the need for our politicians, business leaders, and citizens to recognize the dangerous sickness of America’s president and intervene before he does any more damage to the country and the world. Joining us is Dr. Bandy Lee, a medical doctor, forensic psychiatrist, and a world expert on violence who taught at Yale School of Medicine and Yale Law School for 17 years before transferring to Columbia and Harvard. She became known to the public by leading a group of mental health professional colleagues in breaking the silence about Donald Trump’s dangerous psychology and publishing the New York Times bestseller The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. She is currently president of the World Mental Health Coalition. Her latest books are Profile of a Nation: Trump’s Mind, America’s Soul; Psychology of Trump Contagion: An Existential Danger to American Democracy and All Humankind; and The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew – Updated and Expanded with New Essays.
