Psychiatrist: Trump admin officials contacted me because president was ‘scaring’ them

Officials from the Trump administration reportedly contacted a Yale University psychiatrist last year because President Trump was "scaring" them.

Dr. Bandy Lee told Salon and the New York Daily News on Thursday that two White House officials flagged Trump's behavior last October.

"[They] said that Trump was 'scaring' them, that he was 'unraveling,'" Lee, who wrote the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told Salon.

ADVERTISEMENT "Not wishing to confuse the role I chose, as an educator of the public, and a potential treatment role, I referred them to the local emergency room without inquiring much further," Lee added to Salon.

Lee also wrote an op-ed declaring that Trump is a "dangerous leader."

Lee repeated to the Daily News that she did not mention this development before because she "did not want to confuse my role an an educator to the public."

"I thought I would be more effective by retaining my public role than getting involved in either the treatment of those who were feeling scared or in the actual intervention with the President," she added.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Better to have a President who is feared than loved.

I never called anyone in the previous 8 years. And that assclown gave us plenty to be concerned about.

He needs to fire the lot of them and bring in competent business people.

These are probably all government-trained snowflakes, leftovers from previous administrations, who are not used to have to do actual work.

Can you imagine the reaction of the MSM-Democrats if some psychiatrist had run to the MSM with this story during the Obama administration?

Of course, they never would have printed it. Maybe the National Enquirer.

Oh for God’s sakes . . . sure, “they” are going to call someone @ Yale of all places

Who then just happens to break confidentiality, if indeed this happened (doubtful) and tattles to Salon

And at THIS TIME NO LESS

How convenient!!

And since Dr Blabbermouth wants to sing to Salon, then why not just come out and say WHO “THEY” are?

Name names, Dr. Or surrender your license, as you are the mentally unstable one

Right.......Boobamba showed signs of mental disturbances over and over again.

Most disturbing was when he did the “I love you” act with the wife.

I suspect lots of emotionally unstable people go to psychiatrists and blame their self-inflicted problems on their boss and other people in their life.

The Hill should be embarrassed, but they are incapable of embarrassment/shame.

I don’t believe one word of this garbage!

Who truly was mentally ill

Any one who surrounded himself with equally mentally ill, evil “dangerous” people like Jarrett, Holder, Lynch, et al

And had Unsecure HilLIAR as SOS

This is agitprop. Lies. Pathetic lies.

Good way to sell a book though...

I would imagine a lot of America was scared for the previous eight years. But, not being snowflakes, they persevered until they could vote.
