President Donald Trump would score 50 out of 30 on your leftist mental health assessment, punch it in its .........(nether regions), and send it back to the Sh**hole country it came from!

Our President is keeping all of his promises and he's MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

btw.....

President Trump just called. He said "you're welcome".

So he passed the MOCA. This is a screen for impairment of short-term memory and cognition, not an in-depth assessment. It is slightly surprising to me that he passed, but it is no revelation. This only shows that his short-term memory is relatively intact and he has no indications of gross neurological impairment. To really assess his capacity, he would need a neuropsychological exam, something that just will not happen.
Yes, the man certainly shows narcissistic features. And the MOCA sure doesn't screen for "stupid."

If you look back to old interviews of DJT he generally has the same opinions but articulates his points in relatively "stable" way. Now it's like a middle schooler arguing opinions and strays the conversation away from objective, measurable talking points

We all know Trump lacks conscious awareness of his diet and generally sedentary life style, which to be fair is hard when you are the POTUS. However this certainly has an influence on mental health and I think that is what we are seeing, someone that is mentally deteriorating. He just happens to be the most power man on the face of the earth...

@davidpakman, the thing is that the test is by no means an IQ test to identify the mentally gifted and political Savants among us. In contrast, it solely checks for mental problems. A score of about 22 is already indicative of mild cognitive impairment. Achieve 16 points and it is highly likely you suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

So anything less than 30 points would be very worrisome. I wrote about the test, and provide a link to the sheet, if anyone wants to check if they are fit for office themselves. The test itself is ridiculously easy, as you said in your video.

Mental health is subjective. Having mental health or mental illness is like being Pro-American or Anti-American. Having mental health is like adhering to religious dogma (often the pseudo medical quasi religion of psychiatry) and being accepted by society for it. Having a mental illness is like being Heretical. According to psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, in the past, people manufactured witches (who where sometimes literally burned at the stake), now we create mental patients. Szasz wrote about 35 books, consider reading some of them.

There was an op-ed piece in the NYT a few weeks ago 'Maybe Trump is not mentally ill, maybe he's just a jerk.' Whatever the case, he is a mean spirited narcissist and his policies are very dangerous for not only the US but the world.

Well technically it is a personality disorder which is still debated in the mental health community as to whether such disorders are mental illnesses.

They're actually the same thing, exactly.

"A mental disorder, also called a mental illness[2] or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder

Illness is common parlance, whilst disorder is the professional term.

It's also formally acknowledged in the DSM, so it's definitely not debated... unless you're talking about antivaxers types that think moonbeams cure stuff.

I'm not a professional. I've dealt with mental health issues for my whole life and have made it my business to try to understand as much as I can on the subject.

The only assessment that I ever make concerning other's mental health state is that they could probably benefit from some help. And that's as far as I'm willing to go with Trump, with one additional observation. I think that the whole world would benefit tremendously from Trump recieving a real, thorough, and honest assessment.

Since the cognitive assessment was made by the white house physician whose record is impeccable and he served under Obama without question, I don't see why anyone would question his results. Scarborough does question them, and that should inform you of motives to do so.

Some time in the early 70's the moron-imbecile-idiot classification disappeared, with moron having the highest IQ of the three, and all three falling under the umbrella of "feeble-mindedness". My vote goes for "imbecile" because he has not progressed beyond the age of six, except that he is a dirty old man.
As a mental health professional, I would not want to diagnose him so that he can't plead insanity or mental retardation and is fully held accountable. He is a lazy, stupid, ignorant, heartless, disgusting, lying bum who refuses to learn anything and to take responsibility for any of his actions, except for the ones that make him look good even if he has to pull them out of his ass. (By the way, have your noticed that his mouth looks like an anus when he speaks?) There is no diagnosis for that, except for the characterizations I have collected to date:
"The toddler in chief
Windbag-in-chief
Fucking moron
Demented man-child in clown makeup
Blowhard
Piece of shit
Idiot-in-chief
Drumpf
Tiny Thumb Diktator
Childish Poltroon
Der Gropinfuror
A bloody git
His Lowness
Goon
President Grabass
A fucking fool
Dumb as shit
Hopeless idiot
Idiot
Dope
President Spithead"
Pick your favorite flavor, it's a matter of personal taste (or lack thereof).
At any rate, he is an interesting, if repugnant, specimen. He belongs in a circus next to the bearded lady. Wait, the White House IS a circus, and he does have Kellyanne! She just has an alternative beard, that's all.
That's all for now, I'm off to barf...
