The Much More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 50 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew

by Bandy X. Lee

The 2017 instant New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, was extremely accurate in its predictions of danger. The updated and expanded version, The Dangerous Case of Donald 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, further warned that, unless contained, the dangers would spread exponentially. Many more psychiatrists and mental health experts have since joined the effort to warn and inform the public, leading to The More Dangerous Case of Donald 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew, now expanded to the current volume, The Much More Dangerous Case of Donald 50 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew. World-renowned authors lead the volume in asserting their obligation to speak under the Declaration of Geneva, which decries doctors’ silence in the face of destructive regimes. They describe a man who showed increasing cognitive deficits, scored extremely high on a dangerousness risk assessment, and could not pass a basic fitness test because of his pattern of psychological deficits and dysfunctions. His worsening impairments, while holding the most powerful position on the planet, pose many existential dangers for humankind.

[Kevin Stephens · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reading this was a deja vu experience, possibly because I have read so many books about Donald Trump that have referenced or excerpted previous editions of this book. This is especially true of The Cult of Trump by Steven Hassan, who is a contributor here. In general, I think I liked knowing this book existed more than I liked reading it, although I do wish more public voices spoke in such blunt terms. The pieces here tend to be cursory, repetitive, and for some reason the whole volume is riddled with editing errors (AI as proofreader is suspected). For anyone new to the subject of Trump's psychoses and disorders, this might be a good introduction, but if like me you've gone spelunking into these caverns before, you can skip this one.

Some time in the future, a progeny of this time will ask "Why didn't they listen? The signs were obvious and yet they did nothing."
