The committee will be behind several ads aimed at questioning Donald Trump's mental health and whether he is capable of being president of the country.

– Even an outsider can see that Trump is displaying a lifelong pattern of not functioning in accordance with social norms and rules through lying, reckless disregard for the safety of others, irritability, impulsivity, irresponsibility, and lack of remorse, the letter said.

Silence about health condition

Staff around Trump, including himself, have been withholding information about the health situation since 2015.

When he was a presidential candidate in 2015, he refused to reveal his health record.

Instead, a letter signed by his personal physician was published stating that Trump would be the healthiest person ever.

When Trump was hospitalized with COVID-19 in 2020, and in July of this year when he was shot, there was no statement about his health.

Now, ahead of the November 5 presidential election, Trump has failed to release public documents about his health — even though this was something he talked about earlier in the campaign.

– Unethical

The group of psychologists and psychiatrists who signed the letter acknowledge that it is unethical to diagnose people who have not been personally examined, known as the “Goldwater Rule.”

The Goldwater Rule dates back to 1964 when Barry Goldwater, a former US Senator, was described as a psychotic and schizophrenic and compared to previously deceased leaders such as Hitler, Castro and Stalin by several psychiatrists through an investigation in Fact magazine.

Goldwater sued the magazine and was awarded $75,000 in damages.

However, they say that the diagnostic system they used has been updated and that the diagnostic system is based on observing behavioral criteria.

– For many years, we have all observed thousands of hours of Trump's behavior, in addition to the observations of dozens of people who interacted with him personally, they wrote in the letter.

Trump's rival in the presidential election, Kamala Harris, has previously described the former president as “increasingly unstable and out of control” and a fascist.
