To the editor: Your article on former President Trump’s incoherence states, “Earlier than Biden and Trump, the media tended to deal with the psychological health of would-be presidents gingerly.”
Going again all the way in which to 1960, I can not recall any presidential candidate with such blatant psychological pathologies on full show as proven by Trump. In contrast to the times of 1964 and Barry Goldwater, psychiatrists and psychologists at present have greater than eight years of simply accessible materials on Trump, together with speeches, public habits, social media posts, information stories and interviews with quite a few individuals who have labored intently with the previous president. His 1000’s of lies have been documented and counted.
The precise prognosis is much less essential than the primary challenge, which is psychological health for workplace. Quite a few psychological well being consultants who’ve intently watched him says there are gigantic pink flags.
Ought to People take note of all the warnings issued by medical consultants, or ought to they simply roll the cube and hope that perhaps Trump is a “sheer genius”? What might go fallacious?

To the editor: Ultimately a revered mainstream newspaper has the center to report on the elephant within the room.
Most newspapers have “sane-washed” Trump’s inane and disjointed ramblings to make them seem coherent. However the truth is these performances are more and more weird and delusional.
Whether or not it is a signal of psychological sickness or just senility is unclear. In both case, Trump is completely unfit to steer the nation.
