Three psychiatry professors wrote a letter to President Obama expressing concerns that Trump is not mentally competent to assume the presidency.

…Judith Herman, M.D. a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School — along with two professors who taught at the University of California, San Francisco — made the appeal to Obama based upon their “grave concern” after watching Trump’s antics.

“We are writing to express our grave concern regarding the mental stability of our President-Elect,” the letter reads. “Professional standards do not permit us to venture a diagnosis for a public figure whom we have not evaluated personally.”

“His widely reported symptoms of mental instability — including grandiosity, impulsivity, hypersensitivity to slights or criticism, and an apparent inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality — lead us to question his fitness for the immense responsibilities of the office,” it continues. “We strongly recommend that, in preparation for assuming these responsibilities, he receive a full medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation by an impartial team of investigators.”

    Many of the incoming administration could use a few hours on the couch, too.

      More like in a padded room.

    We didn’t need psychiatrists to tell us that, but I don’t know what they expect President Obama to do.

      I bet the letter made President Obama smile and it has been some time where he had a reason to do that.

    Trump three day psychiatric evaluation. Question #1: Is POTUS Obama American?
    DT: Nah. Sheriff Joe Arpaio proved both BHO certified birth certificates are frauds.

      I do. If I can’t sleep…what’s wrong with it?

      • Snick1946 December 18th, 2016 at 10:15

        Why can’t he sleep would be more to the point. Maybe some connection to all the sniffles he had in the debates?

        • PattyJM December 18th, 2016 at 16:17

          He can’t sleep because he’s still stewing over the slights of the day. That’s something that comes with his psychopathy.

    …And tRumps willingness to have one, along with the results published, are as likely as him turning over his tax report.
    I believe he has already been called out for being unfit by office by several million people.

    The majority of Americans have already decided Trump is unfit and voted for someone else … the electoral college is merely a way to rob the people of their choice.

    Trump will always be an illegitimate president unless he is reelected by a majority of the voters.

    I say we waterboard Trump to find out how involved he was with the Russians hacking and meddling in your election.

    Rumor has it, if you stand beside hide in a cross wind you can hear flute music–
