Three Professors Send Obama Letter Demanding Neuropsychiatric Evaluation of Trump

Sounds like grasping straws to stop Donald Trump from becoming President by two professors from Harvard and one from University of California-San Francisco:

“Professional standards do not permit us to venture a diagnosis for a public figure whom we have not evaluated personally,” they write. “Nevertheless, his widely reported symptoms of mental instability — including grandiosity, impulsivity, hypersensitivity to slights or criticism, and an apparent inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality — lead us to question his fitness for the immense responsibilities of the office.”

The profs —  Judith Herman, Nanette Gartrell, and Dee Mosbacher — “strongly recommend” Mr. Trump get a “full medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation” before assuming his duties as president.
