A Nobel Peace Prize-winning psychiatrist says the warning he issued about Donald Trump months ago was too mild, calling him even "more dangerous."
Dr. Henry David Abraham was one of 36 physicians who signed an April 30 open letter demanding Trump's removal from office under the 25th Amendment, citing a "marked deterioration in cognitive functioning" and "severely impaired judgment and impulse control." That letter was entered into the Congressional Record.
Asked last week by SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah whether his assessment had changed since April, Abraham said: "Yeah, if anything, it's worse."
“I mean, if an airline pilot had half of the symptoms that the president of the United States has, we would not let him on an airplane, we certainly wouldn’t want to fly with him,” he added. “It doesn’t make sense, and yet, we have a system which enfolds the president’s health in a shroud of secrecy.”
Abraham, who shared in the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize as a member of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, voiced particular alarm about the nation's nuclear arsenal, warning that Trump could use a weapon "in a fit of pique or rage or confusion or poor impulse control."
He noted that Trump might get up at any hour and, on impulse, bring the Iran conflict to a close in "10 seconds" simply by grabbing the nuclear football.
The White House rejected it, with Spokesperson Davis Ingle saying Abraham "is a Trump Deranged l*ser engaging in armchair diagnosis for political purposes."
The dispute leaves millions of Americans watching a very public fight over whether the man with sole authority to order nuclear strikes is fit to hold that power.
