One psychiatrist, Yale Psychiatry Professor Bandy X. Lee, thinks Trump's words and actions are indicators that he should at least be examined by professionals.
When the President labels specific enitities in America as "Enemies of the People", I think we are facing a serious situation. Far too many Americans continue to believe a man who lies at an average rate of 15 times every day. Of course, his minions and acolytes and worshipful followers will claim the Lying Lamestream Media is just making up their stories about his lies.
Yale psych prof explains Trump’s pathology—and why he’s more dangerous than ever
A study found that his Twitter usage widely instigates hate crimes, and Mr. Trump’s vengeful words against those in the House could further contribute to a culture of division and violence in the United States.
ABC News reported 17 court cases that traced defendants’ violence, threats or alleged assaults directly to Mr. Trump. The greater the pressure, the more his mental challenges will cause him to take unpredictable and potentially extreme and dangerous actions as president, and as long as he is in his office, he of course has a lot of power to do damage. There should no longer be any doubt about this propensity, and lawmakers and the public should not take it lightly, either.

In what ways have Trump’s unique pathologies played into the chaos?
His dangers are no longer probable but demonstrable: his attraction to cruel and violent policies; his effectiveness in inciting violence; his stripping of moderating forces; his pursuit of a position of power without appropriate qualifications; and his shaping of the national and international culture after his own mental state—all fit the pattern of well-known, dangerous personality structures.
Since there is no rational strategy underneath it all, granting him what he wishes was bound to cause him to deteriorate and to cause devastation to the nation—we have not yet seen the end. That is why we mental health professionals have been warning against this presidency as a part of our societal responsibility.
