4.1 percent! Putin/Trumps economy grew by that much! as people flocked to import and export before the trade war begins.
how low will that figure fall in say six months?

Foxy,

"The American Psychiatric Association’s Code of Ethics, Section 7.3—the so-called “Goldwater rule.” It says: “[I]t is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion [on a public figure] unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization.”

A book written by a psychiatrist who ignores the code of ethics of the profession tells us how bad Trump is. And you think its valid.

Its just pathetic.

Trumps is "potentially dragging the world into war". Except he hasn't.

Trump's gunna destroy the economy. Except he hasn't.

Trump's gunna start a trade war. Except he hasn't.

Its all Trump Derangement Syndrome and there's no cure.

mhaze,

I have no way of knowing what sort of games you're playing
but I would have thought that you would have Googled
information about the book - being the presumed intelligent
person that one assumes you are. You then would have
come across the following explanation:

"Since the start of Trump's presidential run, one question
has permeated the observations of concerned citizens. What is
wrong with him?"

"Constrained by the APA's Goldwater rule, which inhibits
mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures
they have not personally examined, many of those qualified to
answer this question have shied away from discussing the issue
at all."

"In the "Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," mental health experts
(27 psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts) argue that in
Trump's case their moral and civic duty to warn America
supersedes professional neutrality."

"Philips Zimbardo and
Rosemary Sword, for instance, explain Trump's impulsivity in
terms of unbridled and extreme present hedonism. Craig Malkin
writes on pathological narcissism. Gail Sheehy, on a lack of
trust that exceeds paranoia. Lance Dodes, on sociopathy.
Robert Jay Lifton, on the malignant normality that can set in
everyday life if psychiatrists do not speak up."

"His madness is catching, too. From the trauma people have
experienced under the Trump Administration to the cult-like
characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented
mental health consequences across our nation and beyond.
It's not all in our heads. It's in his."

Yes Foxy that's what I said. You are relying on people who are prepared, even anxious, to breach their own profession's ethical standards in order to tell you how unethical Trump is. Projection in spades.

Do you know why there is a Goldwater Rule? "Because...it is impossible to accurately evaluate people one has not personally examined."

But these unethical psychiatrists, for no better reason than they, like you, suffer TDS, are prepared to do anything, and deceive anyone, to further their political aims ie reversal of the election results.

If you had any historic knowledge and/or memory, you'd realise that every Republican candidate is treated this way. The Goldwater rule is named for the Republican candidate in 1964.

But,even though these same tactics are used against all those on the right, Trump is a special case and has suffered special attacks because he is an existential threat to the Democrat power base. And the more successful he becomes, the more successes he has, the more deranged they become because their self-perception as the nation's natural leaders becomes increasingly unattainable.

But they still have a willing audience of those who not only are deceived by their unethical practices, but want to be deceived.

mhaze,

You should actually read the book and the reviews.
Before you make your judgements.

BTW: I am very familiar with American politics. We worked
and lived in the US for close to ten years. My children
were born there. And I am more than familiar with the
political parties and with their elections.
I worked in a Reference Department of
a large private university and had dealings not only the
Library of Congress but many of the Institutions of
Learning throughout the country.

Oooops, I forgot to add the word "Library" to the
fact that I worked in a
Reference Department of a large private university
Library.

My apologies
