Psychiatrist On ‘The Essential Emptiness Of President Donald Trump’ | The Last Word | MSNBC

the

president

is a raving lunatic he is not feeling well those are not my

word

s those are the

word

s of Andrew Gilliam, the former Democratic mayor of Tallahassee who came in second and

last

year in the Florida gubernatorial race, was echoing What has now become the widespread thinking about the mental health of the President of the United States during a week in which the

president

has said that it is the King of the Jews that the second coming of God is the chosen one is the same week in which that although he sees himself as a king of God Denmark, a chosen one, somehow found the strength to defy him and refused to sell Greenland to the United States, so the president, the king before God, says he canceled trip to Denmark, although he probably canceled the trip to Denmark because he knows that President Obama is scheduled to go to Denmark a few weeks after what would have been Trump's trip in Denmark, President Obama would surely get a much more positive reception for part of a much larger crowd than Donald Trump could have gathered in Denmark, that all sounds pretty crazy, too sober, be careful. politicians like Andrew Gilliam who had never before called a political opponent a lunatic, well, we told you that a month into Trump's presidency, we had our first discussion about the president's mental health on this show with psychologist John Gartner and former professor of psychiatry at Harvard.

Lance at the School of Medicine realized that if we could build a psychiatric Frankenstein's monster, we couldn't create a more dangerously mentally ill leader than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid psychopathic narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively. He has imaginary enemies. He lies because of his sociopathic tendencies. Arthur Gardner was talking about how he lives the same way as anyone who scams people, who tries to sell an idea or a product by telling them something that is not true, who lies, that there is also the type of lie that he has, which is in in a more serious way that he has a loose grip on reality if he were a paranoid schizophrenic and wore a tinfoil hat then he wouldn't be elected president but he's just saying enough is enough, so to speak, but in reality he's out of touch with reality like says dr. dodo said that the real thing is fluid, he is totally malleable according to his personality disorder later that year, dr.

Gartner and dr. DotA articles contributed to the book The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Evaluate a President. A new edition of that book was published this year with 10 more entries that later changed the subtitle to 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Evaluate a President. In that book Dr. DotA writes mr. Trump's sociopathic characteristics are undeniable, they create a profound danger to democracy and the security of Americans; Over time, these characteristics will only get worse and now, once again, joining our discussion is Dr. Lance Totus, former assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute dr. nodas, thank you very much for joining us once again and you told us in 2017 that it was going to get worse, your words will only get worse is that what we are seeing this week absolutely Donald Trump because he has a fundamental need. being all powerful and all loved cannot stand challenges and the nature of democracy is that it challenges people, we have more than one opinion so it was more predictable that once he got to a position where people would challenge him , there were two In today's interview, for example on the South Lawn of the White House, he demonstrated that as you watched him respond to people, the more they challenged him, the more he ranted, he stopped answering questions and instead started to Talk about how people were agents of destiny.

Fake news. He said they would close soon and basically die. NBC and the New York Times would be dead within six years. This is the same kind of thing he did. When he was a candidate he suggested they take out and beat someone who was protesting at his campaign rally, he can't stand anything that doesn't agree with him and the more you challenge him, the more unhinged he becomes, the more paranoid and the more violent. potentially today he's saying that the reason he's canceling his trip to Denmark is because the Prime Minister used the word absurd to describe Donald Trump's idea and kept saying it repeatedly when speaking to the journalists he's talking about today, repeatedly saying that it was a nasty word it was such a bad word to use the word absurd I wanted to want to keep that in our minds when we consider Donald Trump's relationship with Kim Jong-un, who he used to call rocket man, that's what Donald Trump used to call him and at the same time he called him rocket man, kim jong-un called him the mentally deranged madman and finally, after all that, dr.

Donald Trump finally became the guy who loves Kim Jong, let's listen to that part and then we fell in love, okay no, actually, he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters, we fell in love, what are we seeing in it all? That's why he cancels a trip because of the word absurd the guy who calls him a crazy, deranged American is someone he eventually falls in love with well he doesn't really love anyone except himself that's not an insult it's a psychological fact people like him are about him and we see this not only with the North Korean leader but with all the people he surrounded himself with for most of his life who are now recognized as criminals, as long as they are loyal to him, he loves them as soon as they challenge him as soon as they don't agree then they are terrible people, what he has said about each of these people, so of course it means nothing, he never loved them, he just used them and if they are of no use to him, then stop loving him, that's part of it. of Donald Trump's

essential

emptiness

, he has no real relationships with people that allow him perhaps his personal family, we don't know that, but you can see that he discards anyone who doesn't fit his personal needs, which makes him incapable of we really relate to our allies as well as our enemies and doctor we need your analysis of a president who stands up and compares himself to a king refers to himself as King of the Jews refers to himself in a divine way today He turns to the heavens and calls himself the chosen one, what is that, obviously it's grandiosity, but I want to make it clear that there are a lot of grandiose people, there are a lot of narcissistic people.

Donald Trump goes far beyond that, there is a fundamental way in which like I said, he is empty, there is something fundamentally different about him from normal people, there is a psychotic state, the more you push him, the more you see how disorganized and empty he is. es, the more he rages disorganized, so yes, and the way in which his terms of being God also made several what could be called Freudian slips during today's interview he continued to confuse who he was and who the country was he said I have the best economy, not the country where I defeated the caliphate, it's not just a slip, he doesn't really understand it, he considers himself a dictator and everything is him and no one else really matters, dr.

Notice Lance, thank you for joining us once again and thank you for starting this conversation here on this show in what was basically the second month of the Trump presidency, when I know it wasn't comfortable for people in your profession to come in.
