DEAR EDITOR:

It amazes me that major media outlets: CNN, FOX, CBS, MSNBC, etc., haven’t given serious coverage of Trump’s mental health, specifically his erratic, often consistent and deviant departure from the norm. In other words, behaviors usually considered acceptable cultural and societal functioning.

While I am usually a believer in Frank Zappa’s comment that “Without departure from the norm, progress is not possible,” 47’s erratic and often bizarre abandonment from the norm captures everyone’s attention with the often-repeated comment, “Is that guy crazy?” or “What the heck is he doing now?”

Nothing that 47 does even comes close to progress; rather, to a regression and a serious deviation from the norm.

For clarification of this man’s mental contortions, I urge readers to acquire a copy of the book, “The Much More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 50 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew,” edited by Bandy Lee, M.D., M.Div., and published by the World Mental Health Coalition.

Let me give you a brief sample of the 50 interesting articles included by Dr. Lee:

● “Extreme Dangers Posed by Donald Trump’s Psychological Makeup”

● “Is Trump in the Throes of Early Dementia?”

● “Pathological Narcissism and Politics”

● “Donald Trump’s Weaponization of Reality”

● “The Cult of Trump”

● “Toxic Masculinity and the Rise of Authoritarianism in America”

● “Evangelicals Do Not See Trump for Who He Really Is”

● “The Myth of Trump is a Symptom of a Deeper Pathology”

● “The Dangerous Case or the American People”

v “Trump is Uniquely Dangerous”

Each of these important articles will lay bare how much more dangerous 47 is than most Americans realize. Enjoy the reality check.
