Someday, if we survive as a species, the data points on the through line will become glaringly obvious.

That will take you to the youtube.com channel. Then click on the bold print description of the video. Scroll down till you see transcript and click on it.

Can't copy the transcription or I would have. But this is how you can see all future transcripts too.

In this video, she says:
“There should be no remaining doubt. Donald Trump is exhibiting destructive, escalating, and world endangering mental instability. This is no longer a psychological theory, but an imminent threat to our fundamental survival, and to the safety of the entire globe.”

There’s more, and it’s worth the seven minutes it takes to watch the entire video.

Aside from being fearless, the good doctor has credentials:
“Bandy Xenobia Lee is an American psychiatrist whose scholarly work includes a textbook on violence. She is a specialist in public health approaches to violence prevention who consulted with the World Health Organization and initiated reforms at New York's Rikers Island Correctional Facility.”

... and the psychiatric profession is always cautiously circumspect when it comes to remote diagnoses, especially of public figures. But let there be NO doubt that Trump's mental house of cards is collapsing, and that, given his pathological selfishness, he will not hesitate to pursue the absolute destruction of anyone, and anything that he perceives as a threat to his self-anointed right to the total domination of America, and indeed, the entire world. This is not hyperbole; this is as real as heart attack, and we fail to take it seriously at our mortal peril.
The man is a psychotic monster incapable of self-reflection, and therefore, incapable of accepting the possibility that he is wrong about ANYTHING! Our children deserve better than the poisonous world that Trump envisions. If we simply clutch our pearls and do nothing, they will despise us until our dying days, and we will deserve it.
The likes of Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, and the entire Republican Party are complicit in this insanity, never to be forgiven for their treachery, and they must be stopped.

It’s impossible not to feel a certain amount of despair when I think of how long she and her colleagues have been ignored. Even now, I can’t understand why her latest plea isn’t being shouted from the ramparts.
