Donald Trump’s erratic behavior, threats and weird shaking
of his hands has doctors and scientists confused.
Is he mentally ill or acting like a chimpanzee?
Whatever it is suggests a problem says Dr. Jill Stein, a
third party presidential candidate who is an internist trained Harvard.
“You know, I don't pretend to be able to do TV diagnosis,
but I think the guy has a problem,” said the 66-year-old candidate, who is
averaging somewhere between 2 and 5 percent in most national and state polls,
enough (Clinton people say) to put a scare into the Democrat in
too-close-to-call states. “The guy has a lot of problems -- physical, mental,
emotional, cognitive,” Stein said of Trump.
“It's hard to, you know, to think too hard about anything
Donald Trump says because he will change his mind in the next hour, if not the
next day, or whatever,” she added. “Today, suddenly, after five years, he
became convinced that it's not an issue. Yesterday it was an issue. It will
probably become an issue again for him. You know, the guy may have a memory
problem. Who knows what it is? But he's incapable of having a consistent
thought or policy,” said Stein.
In fact, one of Trump’s closest advisers, Roger Stone, said
Trump is still not sure President Obama was born in the U.S.
“In many
ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of
male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” primate specialist
Dr. Jane Goodall said. “In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise
in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the
ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”
Goodall added, “the more vigorous and imaginative the
display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the
longer he is likely to maintain that position.”
Tony Schwartz, co-author of Trump’s book The Art of the
Deal, said his lack of attention will hurt him debates.
problems and simply cannot take in complex information — he
will be unable to practice for these debates,” Schwartz told the New York Times.
“Trump will bring nothing but his bluster to the debates. He’ll use sixth-grade
language, he will repeat himself many times, he won’t complete sentences, and
he won’t say anything of substance.”
