Lee of the Yale School of Medicine. Two years later, a second edition came out, this time with 37 mental health experts. The first line reads: “Donald Trump is a profound danger to Americans and to the rest of the world.”


Repeated again and again throughout the book, the psychiatrists and mental health experts explain in great detail why, as Dr. Philip Zimbardo of Stamford University, wrote: “we believe that Donald Trump is the most dangerous man in the world”.
