Joy Behar Asks Mary Trump to Diagnose President With Mental Disorder: ‘Is He Crazy?’

December 3rd, 2020 2:40 PM

The president’s Democrat donor niece and psychologist Mary Trump appeared on The View Thursday for another sympathetic softball interview where she was invited to diagnose her uncle and gossip about her estranged famous family, all to sell books. 

Conservative co-host Meghan McCain grilled Trump last July over her motives in writing her tell-all book on President Trump right before the election. But since McCain is currently on maternity leave, this time Mary Trump was given free rein to spew her unsubstantiated venom against her uncle by The View, and Republicans.

She was even asked to diagnose the president as “crazy” by co-host Joy Behar:

“You're a shrink, and I have a shrink question for you. I know you haven't had him on the couch, but in your opinion, is the guy crazy? Is he crazy?” Behar gushed. Of course the clearly political psychologist indulged Behar: "Yes. He has serious psychological disorders," she stated.

 

 

She added that Trump's mental disorders caused him to inflict pain upon America, through his immigration policies and COVID leadership, which was all "enabled by the GOP:"

He has serious psychological disorders which, you know, wouldn't have been of any interest to us if he had no power and if he didn't have the ability to inflict pain on other people. The biggest problem for us now is because of those undiagnosed and untreated disorders, and his appalling lack of empathy, I, you know, people are dying unnecessarily every day. Children were stripped from their parents and incarcerated for no reason. So, you know, the horrors that he's inflicted upon us with, again, the permission and enabling of the GOP makes the fact that he is as you say, crazy, all of our problems. 

Before this, the show hosts also repeatedly tried to get their guest to psychoanalyze the president for not conceding the election. “Where is his head at right now, and what are we seeing?” Sara Haines wondered. Sunny Hostin added, “Do you believe that President Trump really believes he won this, and is being cheated out of something, or is something else going on?”

Mary Trump claimed her uncle couldn't admit he lost so he has to keep "taking a wrecking ball to the United States government," which Joy Behar agreed with: "This as a saving grace for him, like to pretend he won, to get all this money and destroy the institutions!" she claimed. 

The liberal Trump was even invited to hawk her upcoming book, where she blames America failing to atone for it's racism and history of "genocide" as the reason why we got a President Trump and why America will suffer from a post-Trump "PTSD":

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: So Mary, you announced recently that you are going to be writing a second book about America's trauma. Can you tell us a little bit more about this? 

TRUMP: Yeah. You know, obviously we've all experienced the stress and trauma of COVID-19 whether it was just through the fear of it or the economic hardship that has hit us -- a lot of us, of course, disproportionately, just as the virus has affected certain vulnerable populations disproportionately. So I actually start with the history of this country. This country was born in trauma. The twin traumas of the genocide against native population, and the genocide of Africans. And the enslavement of African-Americans for four hundred years. And these are traumas we not only haven’t we atoned for, we have barely acknowledged them. By failing to hold people accountable by the horrors inflicted upon certain populations historically, we have become a country that is vulnerable to people like Donald. So I kind of take a broad view, but then I narrow my focus on the coming mental health crisis once we get through COVID-19.

SUNNY HOSTIN: Well, even though Trump has lost the election, he has in my view, transformed the GOP in so many ways. Do you think that he'll remain a vocal force in the political world? What do you think his next career move is after he leaves the White House? A TV channel? Is he going to want to cash in on all of this? 

MARY TRUMP: I think the problem is that he hasn't transformed the GOP as much as he's revealed its true nature. So I don't see the party changing any time soon which is a tragedy for all of us. So Donald absolutely will try to maintain control because that will give him -- continue to give him some measure of power. I don't -- I think he's much more likely to pursue something in the media though. That way he can have the spotlight trained on him at all times, and just narrow his focus to his most fanatical followers.

JOY BEHAR: You're a shrink, and I have a shrink question for you. I know you haven't had him on the couch, but in your opinion, is the guy crazy? Is he crazy? 

TRUMP: [chuckling] Well, that's a really technical term. So not entirely sure how to answer the question. Let's put it this way -- 

BEHAR: You know what I mean. 

TRUMP: I do. Yes. He has serious psychological disorders which, you know, wouldn't have been of any interest to us if he had no power and if he didn't have the ability to inflict pain on other people. The biggest problem for us now is because of those undiagnosed and untreated disorders, and his appalling lack of empathy, I, you know, people are dying unnecessarily every day. Children were stripped from their parents and incarcerated for no reason. So, you know, the horrors that he's inflicted upon us with, again, the permission and enabling of the GOP makes the fact that he is as you say, crazy, all of our problems. 

BEHAR: That’s right, that’s right. [co-hosts nodding in agreement]
