The Independent -- Donald Trump is a sociopath and I fear he's losing his mind, says former US Labor Secretary


‘We know he's a sociopath, but he seems to be growing worse’

Many in the mental health community, as well as politicians, journalist, and academics are increasingly questioning the state of President Trump’s mind and whether he is capable of continuing to be our President.

Political commentator George Will says President Trump is someone who is not able to "think and speak clearly,"and that it’s “up to the public to quarantine this presidency by insistently communicating to its elected representatives a steady, rational fear of this man whose combination of impulsivity and credulity render him uniquely unfit to take the nation into a military conflict."

A former US cabinet member has said he fears Donald Trump is “losing his mind” and argues it is time to consider his removal from office

Robert Reich, the author and chancellor’s professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkley, is the former Labor Secretary to President Bill Clinton. He argues that it is “now time to seriously consider the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which provides for removal of a president who is ‘unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office’.”

Trump’s deviant behavior is a problem. Many have called his mental problem to be outright dangerous for our country. But a Republican-led Congress will not take any action and that’s perhaps the most significant problem we have.
