Dr. Bandy Lee says the obvious. It is time for Donald Trump to have a complete, MANDATORY psychiatric exam, now before world war III starts.
I am tired of the excuses. I am tired of hearing the "what about ism's". I.e. Obama and Clinton together would not have gone to this extent. And what is worse is that this was done with full collusion with Netanayhu of Israel (fighting like Trump to avoid the consequences of criminality), and with Vladimir Putin of Russia (whom gained power in 2000 after having terror bombed his own capital city, Moscow, and then falsely accusing people in Gronzy of orchestrating the attack).
It is time that Trump be forced to have a psychiatric examination, before he starts world war III.
Bandy Lee, to her credit has stated the obvious. Trump must be compelled to have a full psychiatric exam and to have the results, over the protest of traitors bought and paid for by the Russian federation, spoken to the House and Senate, hopefully jointly.
The consequence of doing nothing will be the first trillion USD war in human history, and it is preventable, if Trump is hospitalized.

Lee told Salon this week that the president’s decision to order the drone killing of a top Iranian general was further evidence that Pelosi should do more to rein in Trump. The Pentagon said on Thursday that Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and widely considered the second-most powerful official in Iran. Democrats quickly warned that the escalation threatens to plunge the U.S. into a full-blown war with Iran.
“This is exactly the kind of dangerous event we foresaw as Donald Trump’s response to the impeachment proceedings, just as his pulling troops from northern Syria was a direct response to the announcement of an impeachment inquiry,” Lee told Salon. “This was why more than 800 mental health professionals petitioned Congress to consult with us, since, without intervention, this kind of crisis was a matter of time, not just a possibility.”
Lee said Trump’s actions were “exactly what someone who lacks mental capacity would do.”
“In other words, he is extremely drawn to actions that would help him appear as if he has mental capacity, such as a ‘presidential strike’ against an enemy, while avoiding the proper procedures, such as briefing with Congress, that might expose his lack of capacity,” she said. “What we do not expect from someone who lacks mental capacity is rational, reality-based decision making that is non-impulsive, non-reckless, and cognizant of consequences.”
Lee also noted that Trump had repeatedly accused former President Barack Obama of planning to attack Iran in order to help his re-election.
“Since he is incapable of putting himself in another person’s shoes, he projects his own thoughts entirely onto others,” she said. “Hence, we can deduce that what he has said about Mr. Obama has nothing to do with the former president but has only to do with the way he himself thinks.”

I wish to hear the excuses from McConnell and from Graham, two cowardly Trump defenders as to why this is not to be followed up on.
I wish that those who back Trump, so they can enrich themselves, temporarily, realize that by enabling Trump, they are endangering the entire planet.
Both Bush II, and Obama took a pass on the killing of Solimani, for the obvious reasons, and Bush II did it even though several hundred US soldiers allegedly died due to military action taken by Solimani,in southern Iraq .
All Trump cares about is being in PUTIN's good graces. It is as clear as daylight. And those cowards in the GOP senate Cohort, whom would vote to exonerate Trump need to get it, that enabling Trump is endangering the entire international order.
Killing of adversaries, in executive positions, as what was done to Solimani, was discussed in the 1970s by the Church committee and was clearly stated as opening a door where every hit squad in the world could have license as to killing of our own leaders in retaliation. The lid to Pandora's box was slammed shut, in the 1970s by the Church committee.
If our own leaders get murdered in retaliation due to this idiot move by Trump, you know whom to blame. The sick apologists whom back Trump and Putin, no matter what.
