27 Jan 2017 – <\/em>If there\u2019s one thing we can say about Donald Trump, it\u2019s that he\u2019s unlike any other world leader we\u2019ve seen to date. The problem, however, is that his differences fail to set him apart in a positive manner.<\/p>\n

Almost daily, Trump tweets about the \u201cbiased media,\u201d \u201cfake news,\u201d or a world leader who has suddenly done something so terrible that he must take to Twitter to publicly berate them. Notice, however, that it\u2019s always someone else<\/em><\/strong> with the problem. It\u2019s never him.<\/p>\n

However, John D. Gartner, a registered psychotherapist from the renowned Johns Hopkins University Medical School seems to think Trump may, in fact, be the one with the problem. Gartner, who teaches psychiatric residents at Hopkins, decided to break the ethical code known as the \u201cGoldwater Rule\u201d in order to warn the American public about the dangerousness of our new commander-in-chief\u2019s mental state.<\/p>\n

The \u201cGoldwater Rule\u201d is defined<\/a> as \u201cthe informal term for part of the ethics code of the American Psychiatric Association saying it is wrong to provide a professional opinion of a public figure without examining that person and gaining consent to discuss the evaluation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton called it first. She said<\/a> Trump is \u201ctemperamentally unfit\u201d to serve as president, following his numerous sexist remarks about women, mocking of a disabled reporter, and blatantly racist statements\u00a0about basically every single human being who isn\u2019t white.<\/p>\n

Gartner, who is also the author of In Search of Bill Clinton: A Psychological Biography<\/em>, says \u201cDonald Trump is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to USNews<\/em><\/a>, Gartner unofficially diagnosed Trump with \u201cmalignant narcissism.\u201d Although he himself has not personally examined Trump, Gartner claims it\u2019s obvious from watching even a little of his behavior that he meets the diagnostic criteria for the disorder.
