On Monday morning, the day before Election Day, the woman who is the president of the World Mental Health Coalition and a frequent guest on CNN and MSNBC where she comments on mental health, compared President Trump to Nazi Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, ranting that Hitler was better for various reasons, including that he “improved the daily life of his followers.”

Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine and the co-author of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” tweeted, “Donald Trump is not an Adolf Hitler. At least Hitler improved the daily life of his followers, had discipline, and required more of himself to gain the respect of his followers. Even with the same pathology, there are varying degrees of competence.”
