Mental health expert explains the main reason Trump must be prosecuted
Two female Trump supporters (Screen cap).
Manhattan's district attorney has convened the grand jury that will determine if charges should be brought against former President Donald Trump. The Boston Globe editorial board has stated that Trump should be criminally prosecuted. These developments have caught the country's attention.


Donald Trump's presidency was an abysmal failure. Americans were constantly bombarded with misinformation, propaganda and gaslighting. We were traumatized by the sickness and death of the c****av***s p******c that he could have contained and defeated. Our crippled economy created widespread depression and anxiety. Trump's r****m, xenophobia, misogyny, nativism, w***e s*******y and violence were all disturbing forces. His grifting and bashing of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution revealed his shameless greed. His politicization of the Department of Justice for his own personal gain was corruption at its core. And his incitement of the i**********n of our democratic e******n on J*** 6 was illegal and the behavior of an authoritarian.

But Trump continues to exert a cult-like influence over millions of Americans who are dev**ed to him in a "collective narcissism." Trump's supporters view him as an all-knowing, charismatic leader who is going to lead them to the promised land of happiness by airing their grievances and marginalizing people of color, Muslims, and immigrants. In return, Trump relishes his supporters because they give him the praise, adulation and unconditional respect he so desires. They fill up his insatiable need for narcissistic supply. He secretly abhors his supporters but uses them to bolster his self-image of greatness and invincibility.

To be sure, Trump and his supporters have a bond that is intense and irrational. How to break their collective narcissism is the critical question we face.


The answer is that Donald Trump must be prosecuted and punished for his crimes, especially the ones committed during his presidency, such as obstruction of justice during the Mueller probe, efforts to tamper with Georgia's secretary of state, his incitement of the i**********n and perhaps even conscious disregard or worse for the more than 500,000 c****av***s deaths under his watch.

Trump supporters will be convinced of his menace if they see him being prosecuted and punished. Being held accountable will chip away at his cult-like reverence. A bright light needs to be cast on the sordid details of his reprehensible behavior. His fall from grace will be hastened if his supporters see him sentenced to incarceration.


Trump's reign of terror on the American public was fueled by his belief that he would not be punished for it — that he could break laws with impunity. This is exactly why his prosecution is so important. He must face firm consequences so that his supporters will finally understand and accept the objective t***h: Trump is a con man and greedy opportunist who unleashed his cruelty, corruption and anti-democratic leanings on all of us.

Not prosecuting and punishing Trump would send the unacceptable message that certain politicians who engage in wrongdoing are above the law. In our democracy, no one should be above the law. Politicians are our elected officials who must serve with honor, integrity, and the public's best interest at heart. We cannot condone corrupt politicians by sticking our heads in the sand or turning a blind eye. Democracy is weakened if our president's illegalities and misdeeds go unheeded.

Many other steps need to be taken to purge Trump from our political consciousness. Keeping him permanently off social media outlets is a necessity. Not nominating him to run again for the presidency is a given. And Congress needs to pass new laws that constrain future presidents from breaking norms and laws.

Once Trump begins to lose his supporters, his political clout will melt away. Perhaps then the Republican party will stop its complicity and new, fresh leadership can step forward. Our democracy works best in a two-party system. Unfortunately, the Republican party has been t***sformed into the ugly image of the former president. It will take outside forces — like the full and t***sparent prosecution of all charges — for the party to untether itself from the malignancy of Trump himself.

In strong democracies, it is not unheard of to hold politicians accountable for their crimes. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was tried in 2021 for crimes he committed during his 2007 p**********l campaign. He was found guilty. Another former French President, Jacques Chirac, was charged with crimes that occurred previously to his presidency, while he was mayor of Paris. In 2011, four years after leaving p**********l office, he was tried and found guilty of corruption.

Prosecution and punishment of Donald Trump is the key to unlocking his bond of collective narcissism with his supporters. Nothing short of that will convince millions of Americans of his dangerousness and unfit stature. This major step must happen if America is to move past the unprecedented burden of our criminal ex-president.

Not worth reading, NWR

I read opinions of a butt-hurt lefty.I don't see an official diagnosis from this dr. who has a reputation for openly bashing Presidents and others he doesn't "approve of". If we started prosecuting every Oath-breaking politician in this country, we'd have to fold it up. Whining and taking pot-shots. No content, just b***hing. Have your shrink diagnose the current "President" , and we'll compare the two. It won't be objective, but the dr.'s biases would be fun to pick apart.

Of course not. It cuts right through the trump fantasy and delusion.
If it’s wrong , then refute it. Don’t just stomp off mad at me. I’m not a mental health expert.

Opinion from an ELWNJ with an axe to grind is not worth reading. You are not a mental health expert but you sure need mental health treatment.

This post is sickening. All that you have explained is, all the other fault charges over the years that poor party has dreamed up has failed , and you are basically charging a man for doing a outstanding job , bringing out the hatred and jealousy from your party , due to the fact of jealousy from a non-politician individual , cleaning up the BS in the White House , and putting our country back on track, which is brought out the viciousness and hatred from your party. So now from the fear of this individual possibly regaining office, and once again , cleaning up the mess this administration has already trashed our country with their failed agendas , has got the Democratic party running in fear, due to the fact they know Donald Trump will take control if he chooses to do so. Your parties crooked, theifin, dishonest , plan is the only other option you have to possibly remove the man that has shook up your party , and expose them to the world for the c***ting scumbags they are. This goes to show your party will openly & dishonestly do wh**ever it takes without shame to hold on to the reins ,that you know you are slowly losing, and that Donald Trump's decision of re-entering the white house does hold the future of your party , and the Democrats are ate up with jealousy , and hatred , once again due to the fact of knowing he undeniably has the backing of the American people to take over and put America back in the right direction , if there is an America left when you're sickening administration is done sending our country down the river. This post shows that the Democratic party will do wh**ever means it takes to try to remove the most feared individual they have ever been up against , & are drumming up lies to make Donald Trump ineligible for office if he chooses to do so. Your all sickening , and d********g individuals that are willing to destroy our country , just to hold on to control . enjoy your control now , because it is short lived.

Finally a t***hful statement.

Milosia2 Loc: Cleveland Ohio

We’ve already had Our second opinions.
As far as trumps eligibility for office, what office ????
83% of the population does not want him back in office anywhere.
So then , what’s your point again ?

I’m sure this “expert” got his education from YouTube University.

83% of this country cannot agree on anything. I don't doubt 83% of l*****t/liberal/c*******t indoctrinated Democrats might not want him.

I can't imagine what is going to take the place of Trump in your minds, especially you & Kevina.

There's a paragraph missing right in the meat of the story.

I'll fix it for you.

Let me guess , you're going by the CNN polls ? Another FALSE fact . You know, and they rest of the American people knows , whether it be Democrat or Republicans , that Donald Trump is the most favored , and supported person , not politician , to ever have the number of supporters behind him , and the information you posted is in fact , a left leaning lie , like most of the other statements they use to back their failing party. And to answer your question , my point is , I recommend for you to cease making these FALSE claims , that can be easily proven to be incorrect , which make you & your party look foolish once again. That is my point
