Psychotherapist Dr. John Gartner is among those warning that President Donald Trump may be mentally unstable.
The POTUS’ health has been questioned repeatedly by critics since his return to the White House at the start of last year. Trump has never shied away from saying or doing controversial things, but his detractors believe his increasingly erratic behavior may be caused by impaired mental faculties.
Indeed, it has even been suggested that Trump could be suffering from dementia, though such speculation is of course so far without evidence to support it.
Psychotherapist Dr. John Gartner, the founder of Duty To Warn, has gone on record with his view that Trump’s decisions could result in mass casualties.
Duty To Warn is an organization made up of mental health professionals and laypersons who say it is their duty to warn the public when they believe danger is present.
In this case, Dr. Gartner told SiriusXM radio that he believes Trump has dementia, and that the condition is causing deterioration of his frontal lobe. Gartner emphasized that someone in this condition should not have access to the US military arsenal.
Shockingly, he then predicted that Trump could end up killing “more people than Hitler”.
“What I want people to understand is that there’s a confluence here between him losing his mind and all of us being at risk to die,” Dr. Gartner said.
SiriusXM radio host Dean Obeidallah asked him to elaborate on his theory, to which Dr. Gartner described President Trump as “manically grandiose.”
“I don’t know if we have time to put this on the show, but he posted another picture of himself as Jesus,” Gartner said.
“Another one. It kind of looks like the Statue of Liberty, but he’s got a crown of thorns and it’s clearly his face.
“And he says, ‘I’ve suffered even more than Jesus.’ So, in other words, he has to be God. He has to be above everyone. He’s even better. Not only is he saying, ‘I’m Jesus,’ he’s saying, ‘I’m actually better than Jesus.’”
Dr. Gartner said: “You know, ‘I’m the best president. I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. And every building should be named after me. My face should be on the $100 bill.’ He’s posted a tweet of that.”
The psychotherapist also pointed out that Trump has repeatedly tried to compare himself to some of history’s most famous military conquerors. “Here’s where it’s apocalyptic,” Gartner said.
“He’s in The Atlantic, they’ve talked about the fact that he is ‘the most powerful man in human history,’ and he’s comparing himself to Caesar, to Napoleon, and to Alexander the Great. Well, what do those three leaders have in common?
“They were worldwide military conquerors.”
He added that Trump is in command of “a military arsenal a thousand times more powerful than anything those men commanded,” concluding: “Okay, then if you put two and two together, I’m predicting that Donald Trump will kill more people than Hitler.”
