Mental health expert explains the main reason Trump must be prosecuted

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.

This post pointing out that Mr. Trump must be prosecuted , is nothing more than a last resort example that the Democratic party is showing that they are low enough , & willing to resort to , if needed , to remove the most feared man to the Democratic party that they have ever had to deal with , & that he will once again , if he chooses to , shut their out of control , failing leadership down & put it back in the hands of the well minded republican leadership . And for this reason , they are willing to stoop to a level of starting to drum up lies to bring up false charges , if need be , to once again , give them a way to remove a candidate that they know will remove their failing party from the white house , if he does decide to run again in 2024. What a down right evil & spiteful administration we have been plagued with .

You stated that 75 million people supported Mr. Trump in 2020 , but that doesn't prove that the country loves him . Now that is a flat out stupid , foolish comment to post. The only v**e's left for him to get , if the whole country loves him according to your post would be all the DEMOCRATS v**es, which he did not receive , which I'm sure he will be getting MANY of the Democratic v**e's next e******n , if he chooses to run again. It's evident , even large numbers of your own party are already questioning their support for the failing leadership that the country has been plagued with , and is currently witnessing . I am already certain , by the next e******n , many of the Democratic party supporters will jump off the sinking ship that they have been supporting , and hope that all the damage done by thier FAILED administration , can be corrected , and bring America up off it's knees .

Conscious disregard for the 500,000 deaths? Don't you remember him promoting hydroxycloraquine? Try blaming the MSM for untold thousands of victims that could have been saved if they weren't too busy bashing him to do a little investigative journalism. The rest of the rant is just skewered opinion so I'll let it go as that. But the unnecessary deaths were criminal and someone should be held responsible. The CDC and WHO were so eager to v******te the INTIRE world that they played right along when they new the t***h the whole time.
