A controversial CNN segment Sunday morning featured the former head of Duke University's Psychiatry Department demanding professionals stop discussing President Donald Trump's mental health in terms of"psychological name-calling.
"The first is it stigmatizes the mentally ill. I've known thousands of patients, almost all of them have been well-behaved, well-mannered, good people—Trump is none of these." "The second issue is calling Trump 'crazy' hides the fact that we're crazy for having elected him and even crazier for allowing his crazy policies to persist," Dr. Frances continued."Trump is as destructive a person in this century as Hitler, Stalin and Mao were in the last century. He may be more responsible for millions of more deaths than they were. He needs to be contained. But he needs to be contained by attacking his policies and not his person.
"Discussing the issue in psychological name-calling terms distracts us from getting out the vote," he added in the segment entitled,"Tiptoeing Around Trump's Instability."program, retired Harvard clinical psychiatrist Dr. Lance Dodes diagnosed Donald Trump as having a"fundamental psychological problem" that causes him to seek male approval from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
