Donald Trump is “showing a lot of signs” of dangerous mental impairment and may be a threat to the survival of American society, a leading Yale psychiatrist has claimed.
一位耶鲁大学的精神科领先学者称，唐纳德·特朗普“表现出许多患有危险性精神损伤症的征兆”，可能危及美国社会的存亡。
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Yale University’s Dr Bandy Lee said she had seen a “marked surge” in violence among her own patients since the day of Mr Trump’s election, blaming his strong rhetoric.耶鲁大学的Brandy Lee教授接受了《独立报》的公开采访，她称，自从特朗普当选总统之日起，她的病人普遍表现出“显著上升”的暴力倾向，这都归咎于特朗普的“强硬说辞”。The lecturer, a former Harvard research fellow and chief resident at Massachusetts general hospital, was defending experts at an event she organised after they called the President “dangerous” and “delusional”.
这位教授是哈佛大学的前研究学者，麻省综合医院的住院总医师。日前她发起了一项活动，与数名专家一起力图证明特朗普具有“危险倾向”和“妄想症”。The claim led one Republican politician to accuse them of “throwing ethical standards out the window because they cannot accept the election results”.针对他们的言论，一位共和党的官员指责他们“由于不能接受选举的结果，就将道德准则抛到了九霄云外。”But Dr Lee insisted she and the panellists had people’s safety foremost in mind and that their judgement was not politically-motivated.可是Lee教授称，自己和众同志学者首先考虑的是人民的安全，他们的判断并不是出于政治原因。Asked whether she had similar fears under Barack Obama’s presidency, she said: “No. None of us had this level of concern.”当被问及“巴拉克·奥巴马当选总统时是否有同样的焦虑”时，她说，“没有。我们都没有考虑过这个层面的问题”。
