We Do Have a Mental Illness Problem & It's in the White House

Trump, the NRA, and the Republican Party keep talking about mental illness as the core of our problem right now in America. And, indeed, we have a major mental illness problem in our country right now. It’s in the White House.

Our president is mentally ill, and until we recognize that, acknowledge that, and begin a national conversation about it there can be no solution.

Donald Trump lies, he continuously contradictions himself, and his erratic behavior are all symptoms of his severe mental illness.

Many of America‘s mental health professionals have recognized this, but a serious discussion of the president’s mental illness has not yet moved out of the realm of mental health professionals and into our mainstream discussions.

The Global Outbreak of Mental Illness

FRONTPAGE MAG: And you thought global warming was the biggest crisis the world faces.

On Tuesday, a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and “Infidel, you must die” stabbed four people, killing one, at a train station near Munich. Nonetheless, Bavarian security officials immediately denied that he “had an Islamic extremist motive.” Then what caused the attack? Bavaria’s state interior minister Joachim Herrmann said that the attacker had “mental disorders.”

There you are. Nothing to do with Islam here, folks. Don’t go jumping to conclusions that these stabbings had something to do with Islam just because he screamed “Allahu akbar” and “Infidel, you must die.” He was mentally ill. That’s all. » | Robert Spencer | Friday, May 13, 2016
