Trump suffers from personality disorder: Former GOP senator
2017-10-28
[PRESSTV] A former US Republican senator, who is also a medical doctor, has said that President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
is suffering from a serious "personality disorder."

Tom Coburn, who served the US state of Oklahoma in the House of Representatives and then the Senate from 1995 to 2015, made the comment in an interview with the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

published on Thursday.

"We have a leader who has a personality disorder," Coburn said, without elaborating on his medical opinion.

The former Republican senator, however, said that the party is not going to stop supporting the billionaire businessman, because "[Trump's] done what he actually told the people he was going to do, and they're not going to abandon him."

Coburn’s remarks came fresh after a number of senior Republicans rebuked the US president, with Senator Jeff Flake
...Republican junior senator from Arizona, elected in 2012. Prior to that he was a U.S. Representative for twelve years...
launching a blistering attack on Trump, saying that his behavior was "dangerous to democracy."

"Reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior has become excused and countenanced as telling it like it is when it is actually just reckless, outrageous and undignified," Flake said. "And when such behavior emanates from the top of our government, it is something else. It is dangerous to a democracy."

#10  Psychotic behavior is so prevalent among Dem politicians, it's considered normal.

#6  Seems to me the same can be said that all the US presidents and former candidates are suffering from a serious "personality disorder".

Really, kind of a requirement to survive the presidential selection process.

What matter is how well they can do the job!

#5  Just about anyone who runs for public office could be diagnosed as having a personality disorder.
Why would a rational person go through the hassle?

This so-called "personality disorder" is called "being honest." Bad for politics, I know.

Either way, we prefer him to you. Think about that.

"It is dangerous to a democracy."

What is? Being honest, or doing what the majority wants?
