I very much appreciate your daily newsletter Heather. I feel it is important that your readers know what we in the psychology profession are saying through “Duty to Warn”, which is a document that over 6,000 mental health professionals signed, regarding Donald Trump’s personality disorder and the danger it presents to our country and the world.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), what Trump’s behavior has confirmed that he suffers from, has many levels of severity. He exhibits all symptoms of the most devastating level- Malignant Narcissistic Psychosis. This condition renders him unable to empathize sufficiently enough with others to place the needs of the country or anyone else above his own personal objectives or desires.

The regions of the brain, and the neural pathways involved, are believed to be the same as those that regulate other preferences and biases, including sexual preferences. In other words, the chances of him being able to change this behavior is about the same as those of someone to consciously choose to change sexual preferences. Not likely.

All of his behaviors, including consistent retaliation against those who speak out against him or provide contradictory information since he was inaugurated, are evidence of his condition and danger to society. There is no doubt about this.

I prefer the common five letter word "whore", with no disrespect to sex workers, who might be offended by the association
