Trump, Narcissism an His Inevitable Fall — Letters that should have been in the new york times

To the editor

While Jennifer Senior (NYT 10/11/19) persuasively argues that President Trump suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder, it is his impaired judgement that makes him unfit for office and a distorted sense of reality that he attempts to forcibly impose on the public that can be crazy making for those who see through him.

The challenges of the Presidency are infinitely more complex than running a real estate business. It’s obvious he’s been in over his head from day one when he lied about the size of the inauguration crowd. He has been a wrecking ball to our country, the international order and the environment. As the damage grows day by day the reality of his unfitness will overwhelm his lies and conspiracy theories.

I don’t know when President Trump will fall but his fall is inevitable. Sadly, mental health professionals who spoke out early on were ignored or denigrated rather than taken seriously. We’re all paying the price.
