Mother Jones writes about 'the vindication of Bandy Lee,' the professor who wanted Trump put in psychiatric hold

This Mother Jones article is a week old, but we saw “Bandy Lee” come across our timeline and knew we had to look into it.

Bandy X. Lee is one of those names that’s hard to forget; she was on the speed-dial of every mainstream journalist as the authority on President Donald Trump’s mental health, even though she’d never met him let alone talked to him or examined him. She edited a book called “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” which seems awfully unethical for 27 mental health experts to do from watching TV or reading tweets.

Back in January 2018, Lee “briefed” some Democrats on the Hill where she again pleaded for Trump to be restrained for 72 hours and evaluated, with the only problem being that physically restraining him “will really look like a coup, and while we are trying to prevent violence, we don’t wish to incite it through, say, an insurrection.” Lee was a regular guest on Brian Stelter’s “Reliable Sources,” which makes sense considering the weeks Stelter put into questioning Trump’s mental fitness to be president.

Mother Jones says Lee has been vindicated.

Joshua Kendall writes:

[Trump’s] belligerent behavior meant more to Lee than it might to a casual viewer. As part of her clinical work in prison settings, she had evaluated and treated hundreds of violent offenders, including leaders of prison gangs. A native New Yorker, she had assumed that Trump “was just a shady businessman,” Lee told me, but “I suddenly realized that he had a lot in common” with those patients. “Trump was engaging in the predatory manipulation of his vulnerable followers.” In some cases, gang leaders might “ask their members to engage in violence and then issue bogus promises of protection. Like Trump, these leaders also often project extreme self-confidence, and that appeals to their followers, who tend to feel a deep emotional need for protection, connection, and identity.”

The article goes on to repeat the Charlottesville hoax, that Trump had called neo-Nazis “very fine people.” Anyone still pushing that line — and that includes President Joe Biden — is not to be taken seriously.

“Firey but mostly peaceful.”

Mental health professionals were not immune from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump broke a lot of people, who unfortunately sought help from mental health professionals like Lee who shared their delusions.

What’s Lee’s take on Joe “Red Speech” Biden?
