Summary
This is the the third in our series on The Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump. Produced in association with the authors of the New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. Today we explore the mental and emotional deficits that render Trump impaired and unfit for the presidency. And try to answer the question, Why is it that Donald Trump, who thinks only about himself, cannot make the decisions on the pandemic that would save lives and save his election prospects? And finally, what can we expect before and AFTER the November election.
