Everyone in Washington knows it. Indeed, every thinking person in the country knows it, but there is among many an unspoken conspiracy to avoid talking about the fact that the man who occupies the office of the president of the United States is seriously mentally ill. We don’t need no doctor to tell us this, but it can’t hurt to have one chime in and confirm it. So, it’s refreshing that Howard Dean, who is a doctor, is willing to state the obvious, who had this to say in the course of a discussion about Saint John McCain:
“I’ve long believed the president is mentally ill,” Dean replied, “and I believe narcissism overcomes his ability to know, A, what’s good for the country, and B, what’s good for him.”
“He’s not going to change after 70-odd years,” the former Vermont governor continued. “I don’t see this as just Washington elite. I see this as a matter of a statement of decency about the whole country. It’s not coincidence that Donald Trump is at the lowest percentage rating he’s ever been at, which is 36 percent.”
I wonder if it’s lost on Dean that Trump’s obvious mental illness goes so often unmentioned, while his own mental soundness was questioned repeatedly after the media stripped loud background noises and cheering from a video of him in order to make it look like he was screaming in a quiet room.
