I'm not sure insanity or some other mental aberration makes him subject to impeachment but there is a case to be made.
His puerile narcissism underscores his unfitness for the office. But don't take this layman's word. Read and review the clinical assessments of
trained psychiatrists and psychologists who have evaluated his mental state as abnormal.
1.
Donald Trump has a “dangerous mental illness” and is not fit to lead the US, a group of psychiatrists has warned during a conference at Yale University.
2.
His narcissism is evident in his “grandiose sense of self-importance … without commensurate achievements.” From viewing cable news, he knows "more about ISIS than the generals” and believes that among all human beings on the planet, “I alone can fix it.” His "repeated lying," “disregard for and violation of the rights of others” (Trump University fraud and multiple sexual assault allegations) and “lack of remorse” meet the clinical criteria for
anti-social personality. His bizarre conspiracy theories, false sense of victimization, and demonization of the press, minorities and anyone who opposes him are textbook paranoia. Like most sadists, Trump has been a bully
since childhood, and his thousands of vicious tweets make him perhaps the most prolific cyber bully in history.
3. A recent
letter to the editor in The New York Times signed by 35 psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, put it this way: “We fear that too much is at stake to be silent.” It continued, “We believe that the grave emotional instability indicated by Mr. Trump’s speech and actions makes him incapable of serving safely as president.”
MY RESPONSE: Given these dark opinions of a platoon of experts pertaining to Trump's mental state, as a layman I had to take notice. In reality, though, it doesn't take an expert to see that something is wrong with Mr. Trump. While impeachment might be premature at this juncture, I hope someone strong is keeping an eye on everything Trump does behind closed doors. We don't want him starting wars because some foreign leader insulted him...
