Mental health experts warned in an online event meant to convince Congress and the public Tuesday that President Trump incited his followers to violence, with one psychiatrist comparing Trump's rallies to those of Adolf Hitler. The experts, four psychiatrists and one clinical psychologist, presented their positions alongside a mental health analysis of special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report, in which they concluded Trump does not have the sound mental capacity to function in his role as president. Dr. James Merikangas, a psychiatrist from George Washington University, said the chanting at Trump's rallies were reminiscent of "Nuremberg rallies that Adolf Hilter had."

And tell me, exactly how many of these brain dead 'experts' actually talked to the President??? None I'd venture, so just go back to your little college professorships and STHU.

First the Dems send in the clowns; then the psychiatrists.
They are trying to hook up Hitler with the wrong person. Try the Odd Squad. The Hamasketeers.

Discredited followers of a discredited pseudoscience. Every psychiatrist in the world can easily be replaced by a pill.

Hussein the Horrible and Plugs the Pathetic incited rage and nausea in me but I controlled it. For 8 years I had to take it. So now it is time for the left wing worms to squirm. So squirm worm.

Our president's rally performances are entertainments, full of humor. I love 'em.

There is an old saying about shrinks that they themselves need to be evaluated every year. This freak shrink certainly fits the bill!

Apparently, Trump incites liberals and commies to violent behavior, not his "followers". Ask any teen or elderly individual wearing a MAGA hat.

I have done work for certain psychiatrists in the past. They didn’t strike me as being normal people, just off-kilter in their thinking. They’re not to be believed when making public pronouncements like this.

#7 makes the perfect point. It isn't the president's followers who engage in violence.
So, the Hitler reference fails completely. Surely the "mental health experts" are the usual leftist jerks.

Please, explain to me how homosexuality was considered an Axis I mental health disease in DSM-IV and just a few years later, in DSM-V homosexuality is the only normal sexual activity! Even heterosexuality carries a disease with it now! Any 'science' based on the social flavor of the day isn't science and neither is 'mental health'. 'Mental health' experts is a fancy name for snakeoil salesmen. As always, consider the source.

This is like telling the guy standing up against the mob’s protection money racket that he’s inciting violence because the mob will retaliate.

Reminds me of an old joke:
Man: "Doctor, My wife is crazy. She thinks she's a chicken"
Doctor: "Bring her to my office immediately so I can cure her!"
Man: "I would but we need the eggs."
Trump may be crazy but with the economy and markets at near record levels, unemployment and taxes low, policies that benefit working Americans, walls and raids that protect our borders from illegal immigrants, ending of stupid foreign wars and trade policies, and originalist judges that follow the Constitution we definitely need the "eggs". Apparently the only politicians they can support are those that hold canned, boring, and strictly truthful political rallies. Come to think of it, that sounds like psychiatric medical conventions.

Brings to mind Archie Bunker's counsel that anybody who goes to a psychiatrist needs to have his head examined.

Based on the history of school shooters with therapists and meds, I think the opposite may be true.

Mental health "experts" who would make this kind of board and detached "diagnosis" are not expert or professional. They are propagandists masquerading as scientists. They are far more dangerous than Trump is because they are mixing politics and their bias into their profession which makes their work useless.

Seems to me it is the Democrats are doing the violence just ask Steve Scalise. I don't recall the President inciting left wing or that assassination attempt of Republican Congressmen. I can't recall Republicans or any Conservatives doing anything remotely like what Leftists have done on a routine basis when it comes to violence. The Left manages to get violent without prompting from Donald Trump.

Yes,of course,Trump is the new Hitler.
Just for fun at a Trump rally the flags of all 50 states should parade pass him.
Then when the idiots shout Nuremberg rallies Trump can accuse dem of calling everyone's state flag Nazi.
Think of the fun when the dems in each state are asked if they think the state flag is Nazi?
How about it Nancy?

We FINALLY have a president that is not beholden to lobbyist or polls, and who strongly stands up to the lying media and the criminals in Congress. These actions by our president have rendered millions unhinged, psychologists among them. Ha ha. Now, someone do a research paper with facts in the footnotes to show the acts of violence from the last 3 years, by whom and against whom. We know what that will look like. But maybe we need a Ross Perot type to put it up on a billboard to show the dims and leftists and media.

It boggles the mind that these "expert psychiatrists" are actually counseling patients as to THEIR mental dysfunction. Have any of these so-called experts analyzed ANY the truly mental Democrat candidates?
Surely they would determine that Commie Bernie, "heels-up," and Sleepy, Creepy Joe are well-qualified to be POTUS.

These people should lose their licenses. It is a well known fact that psychiatrists are not supposed to analyze anyone they have not talked to personally. These people are a disgrace to their so called profession.
