Bloody hell ............ At least two guys who even to a layman are obviously heavy hitters in the field of psychiatry have put their names to that letter, not only that but they have clearly set aside a self imposed ethical rule to go public, something I'm sure they didn't do lightly.

Its one thing having your average man in the street thinking the president of the USA is mentally unsound ..... but when folk who make a living treating mental health problems come out and say they are probably right that's a bit of a worry, to say the least

A highly mendacious narcissistic sociopath that cannot empathise. This is what's leading the free world.

Chatting to a couple of friends, both bright and knowledgable. earlier today about Trump and his recent Press Conference. They jumped down my throat when I referred to his ridiculous behaviour and insisted that he was the best thing to happen to the USA in years, Chaque a son gout, as they say.

The people who put him where he is will have loved his press conference the other day. He is doing exactly what he told them he would do.

Absolutely. I disagree with just about everything he says, but you can't deny he's being true to his word.

He's now referring to a non-existant attack on Sweden to help defend his views!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39020962

Apparently all that happened in Sweden on the night that Trump refers to is:

A man setting himself on fire at a plaza in central Stockholm
Famous singer Owe Thornqvist suffering technical problems in rehearsals for the aforementioned Melfest
A man killed in workplace accident
Road closures in northern Sweden due to "harsh weather"
Police car chase through central Stockholm of a suspected drunk driver

Will it be more lies to explain how he got it wrong?

You need to remember it was the Poles who first attacked Germany back in 39.

If he brings jobs to the rust belts of America he'll have done what he said he'd do. He wants to shut up about everything else.

He's quite rightfully getting slagged mercilessly in Sweden because of all the nonsense he was saying/implying. A mate of mine took the 2/1 about Trump getting impeached before his term runs out.

Maybe you should be asking why Ted heath wasn't impeached. Everybody fell asleep on that one.

Rumour is that Rosie O' Donnell is going to do Bannan!

I heard an interesting stat on the news another day from an American analyst: apparently during the election campaign Trump received 95% negative news coverage and Clinton received 90% positive. If true, and even if most of it was deserved, such a bias must be unprecedented in any western democracy.

Same guy had another stat that the media is even less trusted than Trump (45% vs 42% so it's close).

Trump likes the attention and it's good his polling so he won't change.

Sounds like a load of bull to me...for no other reason than the amount of negative press Hilary got on her email troubles.

Agreed. Those stats are mince. Bigly.

I recall when the press were giving Ed Milliband a particularly unfair tide, his poll ratings went up. I don't think the public like to see people picked on by the press.

Have just googled this, and yes they are BS, which strangely supports his other point that people don't trust the media: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/07/donald-trump-was-right-he-got-incredibly-negative-press-coverage/

There's a plot half way down that suggests he quoted the min/max for Trump's range (maybe from around the time the video on the bus came out). Not sure where Clinton's comes from.

Point remains that amount of negative coverage was unusual and maybe even unprecedented.

Maybe the case but maybe also the case that it was totally warranted!

Also he clearly set an antagonistic tone so almost set out to ensure his coverage was negative...he simply used that as further proof of how he was a the only candidate that could take on the vested interests.

Trump may actually be the first ever candidate that actively sought negative coverage to boost his campaign!

I agree, simply reporting facts is a negative news story for him and even Alistair Campbell couldn't spin some of the stuff he said any other way.

I wasn't suggesting it was unwarranted, just don't see the need to state my disapproval of him in every post. My point was that I have never seen the media and public so out of sync.

Totally agree. Trump is increasingly appearing as if he is attempting to undermine well established world order institutions such as NATO and the WTO among others. It's exactly this type of rabid nationalism and potential tearing up of supra national world order agreements that Putin seeks. Very dangerous times unless Trump is reined in or replaced.
