KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump has been called a sociopath by a psychoanalyst
  • The POTUS was criticized for not having empathy for Americans affected by the coronavirus
  • Donald Trump's poor mental health deteriorated amid the pandemic 

Donald Trump was recently criticized by a psychoanalyst based on how he has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.

While speaking with Salon, Dr. Justin Frank, who has written books about presidents, lambasted the POTUS. He claimed that Melania Trump’s husband’s poor mental health has only gotten worse, and he also called the president a sociopath.

“Donald Trump’s poor mental health has only gotten worse. Unfortunately, the presidency, with its unique burdens and responsibilities, has not forced Trump to become a better person and to rise to the occasion. Instead, he has been caught in the undertow of a public downward spiral,” the publication said.

The psychoanalyst also claimed that the POTUS has no feelings or care and concern and he doesn’t also have empathy for other human beings. Frank also claimed that Trump doesn’t have the capacity to feel guilt or remorse that’s why he hasn’t taken any responsibility for recent events.

Frank also criticized those who are supporting Trump because they seem to look at him as an infallible deity. They also tend to obey his commands even if this means that they are putting their lives at risk.

“Donald Trump could see dead bodies lying in the street from the coronavirus and step over them. Trump would say to himself, ‘Why are all of these people lying around? How did that happen?’ Trump would never think that he had anything to do with all of the deaths,” Frank said.

On his Twitter account, the POTUS continues to praise himself for what he has done for Americans amid the outbreak thus far. However, his critics couldn’t disagree more with the president.

“You’re lying, hypocritical, bigoted, degenerate, son of a Klansman. You were just calling it the Chinese virus and blaming them for the carnage around the world. You’re not fooling anyone. You’re still a racist,” Twitter user @TalbertSwan said.

“Did you happen to mention that the US has more known cases of #coronavirus than any other country on the planet? I wonder why that is? All your words, buddy #werenumberone,” Twitter user @SallyDeal4 said.
