    In my professional career I have worked with psychotics, sociopaths, the mentally ill, developmentally disabled, autistic, mentally disabled, those with PTSD, and various criminals. I've never feared for my life or hated these clients I've worked with. Yet Trump seems so much worse than all of them combined, and he deserves our hatred, and he should strike fear in all of us that we have given power to someone so utterly unstable and irredemably evil.
  • @Daystar311
    It's terrifying! He doesn't seem capable of compassion or empathy, which makes him extremely dangerous.
  • @ShlisaShell
    My father is of the same mindset. Luckily I have little to no contact with the man. There's so many scary things about all of this. I hope our country (and world) survives this somehow and recovers.
  • I still can not understand how so many can stand by and let this insanity continue.
  • Very courageous of Ms. Lee to speak up. Need more people like her.
  • I am a member of Duty to Warn, though I am retired, I still have my license. I worked in maximum security forensic psychiatric care with Sexually Violent Predators (by diagnosis) as well as serial killers/rapists and mass murderers in lifetime incarceration situations. I recognized his multiple issues from the beginning.
  • House should file for article 25 and bring all these psychiatrist into the hearing
  • Despite the number of mental health professionals who talk about how dangerous Trump is he is still in office! Why?
  • @Freespirit5371
    "He is emotionally driven, not intellectually driven". "Donald Trump doesn't like people, he sees them as useful or not useful!" The thought that our President can be described as he is described above should send chills down the spine of every American!
  • @strife2405
    Shouldn't people running for the presidency take an I.Q. exam, before letting them run or even be considered for the campaign?
  • I have said this all along; even his campaign gave plenty of warning signs and raised eyebrows all over the world. Going to read this book!
  • @henzsol6771
    People elected him because they can identify with him. This is the state of our union...a nation of mental patients.
  • @elisaan725
    Don't forget he has no empathy or compassion
  • @milavargas1031
    And now we are living that dangerous outcome with the Coronairus! He had no idea what to do and people are dying!!!
  • @lisayoder5686
    Half way through this book already--FASCINATING and TERRIFYING to realize, yet again, that this inhumane animal is the leader of the free world and doesnt know anything, but whats worse is he refuses to LEARN anything. He already knows everything in his head, so he has no need to know what the 'lowlife's" below him (you know, ALL OF US) have to teach him.
  • @mikeboy0001
    America, how could you possibly have elected this man? You've endangered not only your country, but the entire world
  • @abroadlink5188
    It was obvious from the very first time he announced his running for the presidency. God help us!!!
  • This needs updating again June 2020. It can now be concluded that “Everything Trump touches Dies”.
