Mac put it perfectly. My unease with this is because things have gotten so out of hand criticizing Trump that even if they're right, one must regard it as potentially just more noise. These doctors can have an educated opinion from afar, but a diagnosis? Xelor wants him to submit to a psychiatric evaluation. That would be the most reasonable solution, but it will never happen. So, noise or no? That's the question in my mind.The bad thing about these so called studies is they are open to skewing and fraud.I don't know. Narcissist, sure. Dangerous? Unstable? The stuff that comes out of his mouth seems to me to be more the bullshit that is employed by any good used car salesman. Don't take anything he says seriously/or at least be ready for him to change his mind.35 psychiatrists this week gathered at a conference at Yale to sound the alarm on what they believe is President Donald Trump’s “dangerous mental illness.”
Per The Independent, the psychiatrists met at Yale’s School of Medicine on Thursday to talk about Donald Trump’s mental health, which they warned was frighteningly unstable.
“We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump’s dangerous mental illness,” said Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School and who has in the past warned Trump is a “psychiatric Frankenstein monster.”
Gartner and other psychiatrists at the conference argued that Trump suffers from a particularly malignant case of pathological narcissism, which makes him a danger to the country and the world.
“Worse than just being a liar or a narcissist, in addition he is paranoid, delusional and grandiose thinking and he proved that to the country the first day he was president,” Gartner explained. “If Donald Trump really believes he had the largest crowd size in history, that’s delusional.”
Dr. James Gilligan, a psychiatrist and professor at New York University, said that Trump’s erratic behavior has similarly disturbed him — despite the fact that he has lots of experience working with violent convicted criminals.
“I’ve worked with murderers and rapists, I can recognize dangerousness from a mile away,” he said. “You don’t have to be an expert on dangerousness or spend fifty years studying it like I have in order to know how dangerous this man is.”

If psychiatrists are saying this about Trump, what does it say about the people who voted for him?
Now, what do these psychiatrists plan to do about it now that they've diagnosed him from afar? Seems political to me. If they were really worried they should have gone to someone in D.C. who could do something about it. Removing the President isn't done by public opinion.
If I walked you into a room with 12 of them and they judged you crazy then you are crazy right?
If I walked you into the very next room and 12 judged you sane then you are sane right?
So the premise is flawed because who judges the judges?
How can a flawed judge make a unflawed judgement?
The very judgement of sanity is nothing more then the opine of those asked to judge.
And while opine might be good it's far from flawless. Sanity is not an exact science its merely is a term
That man uses to elevate himself over another.
