I was browsing YouTube today (relaxing after a groundbreaking two-hour interview with David Gornoski a few days ago) when I came across a video in which Lawrence O'Donnell discusses the mental health of Donald Trump with a prominent Psychiatrist and well-known Psychologist.

Generally speaking, to preserve my own mental health, I avoid listening to or watching Donald Trump. But I clicked on the video out of curiosity. Phrases like "raving lunatic," "psychiatric Frankenstein monster," "unhinged" and "paranoid" came up. The broadcast cited Kim Jong-Un calling Trump "mentally deranged."

I assumed the video had been made a few days ago. Actually, to my astonishment, the video was created three years ago, August 2019. Phew!

And so the psychotic utterances go on and on and on, creating collective madness. And the reporters fulfill the wishes of the "raving lunatic" by putting him on television day-after-day, day-after-day, Trump news, Trump news, Trump news, degrading and debasing public consciousness.

I don't need to comment on this phenomenon. It's exhausting. Someone else can do it.

PS: But the American Psychiatric Association is still not aboard. They believe some sort of "clinical interview" is required to establish Trump's health. Raving lunatics.
