And I call bullshit right back. No one on this message board is qualified to make a diagnosis of Mr. Trump’s mental state, and if they were, medical ethics would prevent them from doing so on a patient they’ve never examined.

I don’t need a license to call him a narcissist, a sociopath, and a selfish asshole entirely lacking basic human empathy.

Get down off that high horse. Even the horse is rolling his eyes. It doesn’t take a _diagnosis_ to determine that trump is seriously mentally ill.
