None of these psychiatrists have examined him and it is quite unethical to diagnose someone without examining the person.

Very true and their comments are an absolute disgrace.

Early in my career, I could see the American Psychiatric Association, at their annual meetings, was going far left.

They're ignoring the Goldwater Rule: "The Goldwater rule is the informal name given to Section 7 in the American Psychiatric Association's Principles of Medical Ethics, which states it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures they have not examined in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements. It is named after presidential candidate Barry Goldwater."

Of course, the end justifies the means preempts the Goldwater Rule with currents leftists.

What’s funny is the fake news media and Democrats sound insane ranting about a non-existent Russian conspiracy to allegedly tamper with our electoral processes to get Trump elected.

No, our psychiatric professors won’t venture an opinion about that state of mind. Instead of calling them on it, Trump is the one with a few screws loose.

Yup, definite lefty projection going on here.
