WASHINGTON — As a pioneering psychological profiler for the Central Intelligence Agency and later as a consultant, Dr. Jerrold Post plumbed the lives, leadership styles and, at times, the mental illness of foreign heads around the globe. Over decades, his expertise and instincts were greatly in demand, especially at the White House. (Snip) In writing “Dangerous Charisma: The Political Psychology of Donald Trump and His Followers,” Post risked violating the American Psychiatric Association’s “Goldwater Rule,” which forbids the diagnosis of public figures without full evaluation and consent. “He was a Life Fellow of the APA, but he said if they

I think most people agree that psychiatrists are not supposed to diagnose people without seeing them and talking with them personally. Obviously this guy suffered from TDS to such a degree that he violated medical ethics in calling our President "Dangerous." He has met his Maker, the only One who counts. Not much wiggle room there.

Never heard of him before reading his obit. He died consumed with leftist hatred. I won't shed a tear, but maybe his family will.

He will be missed by the deep state and the left, which is actually the same. But he will surely not be missed by all Americans

Psychological profiling = crystal ball. The research or evidence does not support it. I'm suspicious about this. The guy was very old, not well, and apparently, hated Trump. Who wrote the book for him? That's all the thing with lefties - getting someone to write it and then they take the credit.
Although, Fed. Rule of Civ. pro. 704, does dances around it giving discretion to the judges.
Consider the George Metesky (sp?) Fit the profile to the buttoned up double breasted suit. Mad Bomber case. There are plenty of examples.
Next.

Anything for a buck. Either that or he was delusional himself. Or both.

Well I don’t trust that the CIA shrink that just died because there was an anti America agenda being followed. He is answering for this to his Maker now. He probably caught Covid hanging with the wrong crowd in the Swamp.

Maybe a nice guy but also a fraud. Where is his book on Barack Hussein Obama, the illegal alien resident of the White House who was way in over his head and caused untold damage to America? More damage than foreign leaders ever thought of doing.

Headline wants you to think there's a causal relationship between the two, his labelling of Trump and his death.

FTA: In his last effort to psychologically profile a leader, Post trained his expertise on Donald Trump.
Sounds like Post didn’t even know the definition of Psychology: ‘the study of the soul.’
Sad for him, God knows.

If you read the original article to the end, it's apparent he didn't "die of COVID-19." This guy was seriously ill, with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. COVID-19 was the little push that finished him. It could have been pneumonia, the flu, or even a bad cold. This should have been "died WITH COVID-19."

If I learn of his final resting place, I will be happy to take a dump on it.
This man was pure evil in an evil organization.
Dying from the China Flu is appropriate, however, as the CIA likely conspired with the ChiComs to release the virus to stop Trump. Too bad it wasn't a .45 caliber flu.
