This book was published in 2018, and edited by John Gartner, Steven Buser, and Leonard Cruz. It is just as important, perhaps even more important, today as it was was on the day the first copy rolled off the presses. I will repeat myself from an earlier post about a book called "How Democracies Die" by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. As any intelligent, well read, politically aware American knows instinctively, this book would not have been written if TRAITOR Trump had never occupied the White House. I have to admit that I have not read the entire book but have read key chapters and independent, unbiased reviews of the book. This has been necessary due to both the speed with which we are approaching the most important election in American History again, just as we have been in the two previous election cycles and, because I have far too many books to important books to read and write about before the date of the election on November 5, 2024.
This is a unique book because it was written in separate but existentially connected chapters by the authors, a cross section of mental health professionals and nuclear weapons and military experts. This method of having several chapters written by different experts on the topic at hand was also utilized by Dr. Bandy X. Lee, M. D.; M. Div. when she edited the very important book, "The Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump". These could not be more important books at any time other than today with the 2024 presidential election coming just six days from now. Any well written and well reviewed which attempts to warn the American electorate of the dangers presented by TRAITOR Trump, his owner Vladimir Putin, and those who support his TREASON, is an important book today. I am certain that there are several others which I have not been able to read and write about and, perhaps, even some of which I have not learned which are equally important if they share these authors' common goals of warning the electorate, protecting the country, and educating the reader about the dangers TRAITOR Trump presents every day he walks free.
John Gartner is a doctoral level psychologist who previously taught at Johns Hopkins University. Leonard Cruz, M. D. is the co-founder of the Asheville Jung Center and a practicing psychiatrist. The third co-editor, Steven Buser, M. D., is also a co-founder of the Asheville Jung Center and a practicing psychiatrist They pulled together a fine group of military and psychiatric experts to co-author the book. Major General (Ret.) William L. Enyart, a former Illinois congressman, and a graduate of the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government. Gordon Humphrey was a United States Senator from 1979 to 1990. He served on the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. These individuals are just a few of the more than two dozen highly qualified authors of the chapters/articles in the book. Collectively and individually, they are people whose opinions should be sought at times of potential nuclear crisis in America and the world.
Now, let's look at just a few examples of what they have to say about the danger TRAITOR Trump presents to the country and the world. Chapter 4 of the book is written by David Reiss, M. D., and entitled "If Trump Were a Policeman I Would Have to Take Away His Gun". The second sentence of his article tells you nearly everything you need to know about TRAITOR Trump which the anxiety producing title does not. "If I were being asked to evalute Trump's fitness for duty as commander in chief there are behaviors that would trouble me." But Dr. Reiss goes even further when he says this: "If Donald Trump were a police officer who had been referred to me for a Fitness-for-Duty evaluation...my recommendation would be removal of the officer from any position of responsibility pending a complete evaluation."
Chapter 5 from Major General (Ret.) Enyart is just as blunt in its title: "If Trump was entering the Military, he would not recieve a Security Clearance." He is even more blunt in the article in which he discusses the possibility that TRAITOR Trump could be or could have been the target of a Russian "honey pot trap", an offer of free sex from a beautiful woman who would be working with or for Russian intelligence agents, a common practice in their tool box. I quote from the article: "President Trump has shown a remarkable lack of judgment." I quote further: "Knowing Trump's well-publicized sexual behavior, it seems unlikely that he could refuse such a tantalizing offer [an offer of sex, a honey pot trap]. "...if Donald Trump were undergoing a standard security clearance investigation, any credible suspicion of such kompromat would be enough to sink his application. Period."
Chapter 17, written by Bard Larsen, has an equally provocative title, "Is Donald Trump A Fascist?". It concludes with this sentence "...America will have to reinforce the democratic institutions and repair the divided society and broken public discourse Trump has sought to destroy." While Larsen does not flly answer the key question he presents in his title, he also did not have the amount of information on his topic in 2018 when the book was published. Bard Larsen had never heard former Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley say in a recorded interview with Bob Woodward that “No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump. Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”
This book is a bit dated. TRAITOR Trump had not said and done many of the things at the time the book was published that he has said and done in the intervening six years. He had not been convicted of 34 felonies or indicted, but yet untried, for 60 more. He had not ordered police to tear gas non-violent protestors in front of the White House. He had not stated publicly that he "would only be a dictator on the first day". Yet, the group of outstanding psychiatric and military personnel who wrote this book had already found enough evidence to say in print that TRAITOR Trump was unfit to hold any position of responsibility, not an acceptable candidate for a security clearance and, definitely, not a fit candidate to be the commander in chief. Read the book no matter what happens on November 5, 2024. Regardless of what happens in the election, TRAITOR Trump will always be a threat to America, American Democracy, and the entire world so long as he walks free. And, God forbid, if he wins that election, no one in the world will be safe until he is held responsible for both the crimes he has committed in the past, and for any crimes he will commit in the future.
