    Trump's Mental State Questioned

    There is an article in USA Today written by John Gartner, a psychologist and a former assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I have no idea who he is or if he has a political agenda.

    The article questions our President's mental abilities and if they are in decline.

    I am not suggesting that is the case, just passing along the article for those who might wish to read it. I found it interesting, but unconvincing.

    I think we can relax there might have been a typo I think he was writing about Biden.

    Made me laugh!

    Actually, I think Biden is of far more concern in that regard.

    I think that is the guy who has been writing that same line for years now, and it has been pointed out repeatedly that his publishing his diagnoses of someone he has not examined violates every ethical and professional standard (assuming there are any) of his profession, such as it is. Physician heal thyself of your TDS.

    Of course you can always operate under the theory that it takes a nut to spot a nut.

    I find it interesting that anyone's state of mind is reduced to no more objectivity than afforded by ones political proclivities

    I forgot to mention that Gartner also wrote a book in 2008 psychoanalyzing Bill Clinton and found him mentally defective as well. When you are a hammer everything looks like a nail.

    After about 30 years I stopped asking my wife what was "normal"---by then I was convinced she didn't think I was in that group

    I wouldn't want to be in that group. Where's the fun in that?
