telling the whole profession they weren't allowed to diagnose a public figure when Malignant Narcissism isn't diagnosed in a private clinical setting anyway--it is diagnosed from observation which we have all had plenty of opportunity to do in the case of Trump. They created a scenario where the people with the most expertise to assess Trump's mental state were the only people not allowed to speak up. While at the same time understanding that Malignant Narcissism is contagious--in that the people around such a person start to take on his behavior. When this person has access to vast media, that means an unprecedented number of people have been exposed. The Psychiatric profession has studied Malignant Narcissism and understands the trajectory of this condition, that it gets worse with power and with time, and yet they have imposed silence while an unsuspecting public was duped.

I'm not impressed with MSM but they have been reporting this as politics when it should have been science, and the scientists were awol.
