Trump's Health Exam - Bad News!

[Charles]

And you are?

Created by God (if you ask the Christians).

Disorders are illnesses dumbass. They are diseases of the mind. Abnormalities. Mental Illness.

Well yes, you are (drum roll) correct in a general sense. I was using 'mental illness' in the sense generally used in psychiatry to refer to Psychotic Disorders ...e.g. Schizo-Affective Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder, Schizophrenia etc...as opposed to Personality Disorders as previously linked. Hence, one wouldn't say Trump is psychotic, whereas he clearly suffers from a Personality Disorder, probably of the Narcissistic type.

Who's the we've OBP? You mean all of you religious conservatives who are always calling each other out for using insults. Now where did you put that irony meter?

I've read this once, thought about it for a day, and read it again, and I have no idea what point you think you're making here. We've derided YOU for calling others idiots. However, that's not because we think insults are wrong, but because we find it to be highly ironic due to your perceived lack of intelligence. I don't typically call you an idiot because there's seldom need to state the obvious.

You and JimL literally called him a sociopath!

[Mountain Man]

Why are they so reluctant to admit that they genuinely believe Trump is mentally ill? They obviously think it, so why won't they own up to it? It's baffling.

Just a thought...you're this confident in your diagnosis of Trump as having a personality disorder? Speaking as someone who myself has a personality disorder, this just seems odd. I honestly wouldn't know the first thing about identifying such a thing in other people.

There are millions of sociopaths walking around Sparko, most all of them I would imagine, like Trump, are republicans considering the republican agenda/philosophy, but that doesn't mean they are insane, demented, or mentally ill, they know what they're doing, it just means that they are narcisistic, anti-social, selfish, uncaring human beings.

It's apparently the same set of skills that allows them to confidently declare that Trump has heart disease despite the fact that his own physician who examined him personally explicitly said that he doesn't have heart disease.

Google it.

[Zymologist]

Google it.

Very informative response, thank you.

[Mountain Man]

Very informative response, thank you.

I hope next time Jimmy goes to the doctor with a complaint, the doctor says, "Hold on while I Google it."

It would serve him right.

[Zymologist]

Apparently Google has everything I need to diagnose someone with a personality disorder. The things you learn!

A doctor doesn't need to learn what he already knows.

It has much of what you need. Information is what you're looking for, correct?

[Cow Poke]

A smart doctor realizes he doesn't know everything.
