6. As a retired MH professional who has had to have clients involuntarily committed...

I have to say Bandy Lee has lost it, jumped the shark, etc.

She was fine in outlining Trump's unstable mental health, but when she started "translating" his tweets and letters, and suggesting Pelosi could have him committed, she has crossed the line of credibility. Not that Trump's conduct doesn't warrant a mental health exam, but to suggest Pelosi could trigger an involuntary assessment is preposterous.

I wonder if Lee is speaking out for attention, or is expressing her own unresolved distress at Trump's continued crimes (something which most of us only express privately or anonymously)?

In any case, as a mental health professional who has had to take the serious step of having clients committed, I can no longer take her seriously.

P.s. Did you mean to post this in the video section?
