Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong in this one. From the Washington Examiner:
University psychiatrist: Trump 'may be responsible for many more million deaths' than Hitler, Stalin, and Mao
The former chairman of the Psychiatry Department at Duke University claimed on CNN that President Trump is as bad as the worst dictators of the 20th century, and that his presidency might lead to even more deaths than they did.
While debating the merits of having psychiatrists come out with possible mental health diagnoses on Trump, Dr. Allen Frances said it was an insult to the mentally ill to compare them to him.
Frances, who is against psychiatrists violating the "Goldwater Rule," told CNN doing so will stigmatize people with mental illnesses.
"Well, I think 'medicalizing' politics has three very dire consequences. The first is that it stigmatizes the mentally ill. I’ve known thousands of patients, almost all of them are well-behaved, well-mannered good people. Trump is none of these. Lumping that is a terrible insult to the mentally ill and they have enough problems and stigma as it is."
"Second, calling Trump crazy hides the fact that we’re crazy for having elected him and even crazier for allowing his crazy policies to persist," Frances went on. "Trump is as destructive a person in this century as Hitler, Stalin, Mao in the last century. He may be responsible for many more million deaths than they were."
Good Lord. I seriously doubt that the guy has ever met the President let alone had him as a patient. The idea that this idiot was the President of a major University's Psychiatry Department is beyond comprehension. All he has to offer is another ad hominem attack on our President. If you do not have anything substantive, fling poo and see if it sticks.
Of course, it would be CNN that broadcast this tripe.
Vox Day said it best:
In academia there is no difference between academia and the real world; in the real world there is.
