More than 200 mental health professionals are speaking out. They say Donald Trump's behavior fits the description of a severe personality disorder called malignant narcissism. This makes him deceitful, destructive, and dangerous, they warn. They think he's not fit to lead and is a big threat to democracy.
The experts agree that Trump shows signs of narcissistic, antisocial, and paranoid personality disorders. They say his intense sadism makes things worse. This psychological type was first described to explain the behavior of evil dictators.
The professionals are breaking a rule called the "Goldwater Rule" that stops them from diagnosing without examining a patient. They feel they have a duty to warn the public about the danger Trump poses. They say they've seen his behavior for thousands of hours and it matches the criteria for antisocial personality disorder.
Trump might also have cognitive issues, they warn. They think he should have a full medical check-up. They suspect the results would show he's not fit for office. Trump has never released a full medical report.
