Greenfield: Who's crazy? Trump or the Shrinks?
FTFA:
[FrontPage] In October, 125 psychologists and assorted mental health professionals marched to New York’s City Hall while wearing red tags warning, “DANGER.” Leading the march was Peter Fraenkel, author of Sync Your Relationship, Save Your Marriage, mournfully beating a drum in a solemn march. Fraenkel, a psychologist and “professional drummer” was able to combine his love of drums and hatred of Trump.

The ‘Duty to Warn’ march had begun at New York Law School where the experts demanded that Trump be removed from office based on their inability to understand the 25th Amendment. And then the mental health experts marched to the beat of Fraenkel’s drum in what they insisted was a “funereal and dignified” procession.

"Please wear professional attire or dark clothing," the mental health experts were instructed. "There will be a slow drum beat, ‘DANGER’ tape, and flashing warning lights.”

The paperwork urged, “Bring a drum if you have one” and, “come as your solemn, concerned self.”

If only the organizers had put a fraction of their obsessive delusions into actually trying to justify the claim on their shiny blue banner that, “Trump is psychologically unfit to lead this country.”

There were no drums when Bandy X. Lee, the organizer of Yale’s ‘Duty to Warn’ conference showed up on Capitol Hill to “brief” Dem politicians about Trump’s mental illness that she diagnosed over Twitter. Lee, a self-proclaimed expert on the prison system, apparently isn’t even currently licensed to practice.

#1 Well, we all know a psychiatrist who can count his/her/its fingers twice in the row with the same result hasn't been born yet. Goes twice for Marxist ones.

#2 Three Christs? When it comes to insanity,
Manhattan is uppin' the ante.
Here's ten dozen shrinks
And each one of 'em thinks
He's a god. Whatcha got, Ypsilanti?

#3 Every one of those psychiatrists should be hauled in front of the licensing board and get their asses reamed. They have no basis whatsoever to express a professional psychological opinion on someone without an examination of that person. If they did it a second time I'd suspend their licenses for a few months, maybe longer. Preening douchenozzles.

#5 Not certain I would enjoy the day that the 25th Amendment was trumped by the 2nd.

#6 They study psychology in hopes of finding out what's wrong with them.

#7 What are the odds this is just a cheap way to advertise. Lots of lefties need mental help these days, these shrinks want the job.

#8 Trump of course, crazy like a fox!

These shrinks are not even smart enough to be called crazy, morons maybe, but most assuredly not smart!

#9 Wasn't Lubyanka Prison where they took insane people? You were obviously crazy if you were a 'Dissenter' in Soviet Russia.
