Psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee: "Trump is an urgent threat . . . and we must no longer hesitate to act"

President Donald Trump clashed with Democrats all week, culminating in the President’s threat to refuse to work with them on infrastructure if they don’t end the Congressional investigations into misconduct by the President and his associates. Raw Story spoke with Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a renowned expert on violence and forensic psychiatrist at Yale School of Medicine, about the president’s angry and petulant reaction to Congressional oversight. Lee has been a consultant to the World Health Organization since 2002 and is author of the authoritative textbook, “Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures.” She is also the president of the World Mental Health Coalition and editor of the New York Times bestseller, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” She and her coauthors recently prepared a damning mental health analysis of the Mueller report. Raw Story: On Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi accused Donald Trump of conducting a cover-up, prompting the President to declare that he refuses to work with Democrats on issues like infrastructure if they continue to investigate him. If you haven’t gotten to the subsequent stage, it is easy to see how it can be misinterpreted: “law and order” people will be more bothered by irregularities than injustice and see the social contract people as bad for society, whereas the “might makes right” people will see those who obey the law to be foolish for not pursuing maximal self-interest.
