Isn't it a betrayal of their professional ethics and also an impossibility to assign a patient assessment to someone they have not spent time with? Also there is the not insignificant matter of patient confidentiality.
If I had problems I would not choose any of them to consult!!
They do damage to their profession by engaging in such behaviour.

'Many psychiatrists and psychologists who have analyzed his behavior, public utterances, and tweets have unanimously concluded that Trump is a psychopath, a pathological liar, uncompassionate, narcissist, greedy, and shallow. He sees things only in black and white, and never cares to understand the nuances of any issue before him.'

and ignorant fools believe this irrational narrative.

The undemocratic Democrats will not accept it if Trump happens to win again !
Nancy Pelosi will poison herself from her own venom & Biden will get Alzheimers by then & just forget about it all !
The progressive Media will stall & go into a spiral dive with no hope of even the slighted bit of integrity recovering them !

"Isn't it a betrayal of their professional ethics..."

Yep. It's called the Goldwater Rule....
"The Goldwater rule is Section 7 in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics,[1] which states that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures whom they have not examined in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements.[2] It is named after former US Senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater."

But rules don't apply to these people. Trump Derangement Syndrome overcomes all ethics.

They endlessly complain that Trump doesn't play by their rules and then they merrily break, indeed eviscerate, there own standards.

Yes, it's truly observed, if it wasn't for double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

The funniest line in the article is this..."But out of a sense of fairness, I thought that he should be given a chance..".

Go back and read the authors articles. Self-delusion in spades.

1. "He sees things only in black and white, and never cares to understand the nuances of any issue before him." SOUNDS LIKE TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS ON THIS THREAD

David Frum described the Golden Golem of Greatness as a - poop throwing primate.
Exactly so!
