The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President by Bandy X. Lee
5.0
OK, finished this faster than expected. Since impeachment is a political trial, not a criminal one, Dumbtruck will be unable to plead insanity. This will change after he leaves office and his mountain of criminal acts collapse on him.
About the traits of antisocial personality disorder, the current DSM says:
A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
1. Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors;
2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying.... or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another; and
8. Evidence of conduct disorder [impulsive, aggressive, callous, or deceitful behavior that is persistent and difficult to deter with threats or punishment] with onset before age 15 years.
Three or more? Doesn't hitting all eight suggest immediate forceful intervention?
The book lays out plenty of carefully considered professional opinions for finding the president to be mentally unstable and untrustworthy. Impeachment, and later institutionalization, may be the best thing to happen to this maniac.
