An unprecedented report for unprecedented times, Profile of a Nation: Trump’s Mind, America’s Soul is a unique and timely accomplishment by one of America’s leading intellectuals. Dr. Bandy Lee’s previous New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, opened the door to understanding the Trump presidency from a mental health perspective and has been published in many countries and languages. This new book goes beyond Donald Trump to explaining the followers who elevated him and the nation that tolerated him as president. Why does Donald Trump have such a hold on his followers? Why must he provoke violence? What is going on in the minds of those who support and follow him, after so many scandals, failed policies, and even a deadly insurrection? What caused his ascendancy, and how can we prevent another one? Dr. Lee’s epic new book is “the missing piece” that answers these questions with accessible language. She was the first to call out Donald Trump’s psychological dangers in a major way at the start of his presidency. Written over the summer of 2020, she explains why, after almost 200,000 coronavirus deaths and economic devastation, he is still a candidate for reelection and correctly predicts that he would not concede an election loss, would declare it a fraud, and would not let go of power unless severe limits are set on him from without. She outlines what citizens can do at this critical time to help the nation heal and prevent another Trump travesty. With 20 years of experience treating violent offenders and advising on violence prevention programming for prisons, communities, and governments, Dr. Lee is uniquely well positioned with a considerable track record of accuracy. She has also blown the whistle on the American Psychiatric Association’s misuse of the now-infamous “Goldwater rule” to silence mental health professionals under the Trump presidency. The muzzling of intellectuals and journalists, she has warned, is the first sign of tyranny. Melding the techniques of CIA profiling with established methods of public health, this report represents an attempt to meet mental health professionals’ responsibility to society. At this critical time all seriously concerned Americans need to be aware of Dr. Lee’s conclusions and recommendations.

We were warned!

It was the most important work when it was released and it’s the most important work, today! I read it then and I will listen to it again and again, until the principles are deep down in my soul.

An Analysis That could have saved the Nation

S we find ourselves as American Citizens at the Bleakest and most dangerous point since the Late 1960’s. This Timing did not arise out of thin Air. Its presence could and should have been foreseen by the Failures of Institutions respected and trusted throughout American Society. Institutions representing the Lifeblood of Civil, Professional, Economic, and Political Existence.

The Author focuses on just one of these failures, that of the Disgustingly self-imposed muzzling of the Psychiatric and Psychological Professional Class to recognize the obvious Danger of the Rise to Political Power and Influence of an easily diagnosed Criminal Narcissistic Sociopath, Donald J. Trump. History will document that the malfeasance was widespread: Systemic Economic Inequality, Corporate Greed, Media Manipulation and Dishonesty, Ethical, and Educational Failures. All contributed to the Current Debacle. But this book shines the Light on one of the most critical Guardrails that Citizens should have been able to Trust to stand firmly in their Standards and Professional Quality.

We expect that Firemen know who and what causes Fires, that Police understand the threat of Crime, and Doctors can see the Roots of Sickness. But here we have the most serious threat to the survival of Democracy here and possibly The World, carefully documented through rigorous research, and thousands of Professionals refusing to sound the Alarm for Decades.

Even though Profile of a Nation addresses Pre-2020 Events, nothing has changed or improved in 2024 except to get worse. I just wish that these Truths had been exposed before Nov. 5, 2024. At least we can hear them now. I would have preferred Human Narration, but I still appreciate the Facts expressed: Five Stars. *****

Trump‘s mine America soul

Evils of Trump. How easily uneducated people can’t be brainwashed and used. And they continuously vote against themselves under despicable presidency they deplorable will suffer the most..

So True and so disappointing

I’m hopeful and optimistic, with the understanding that things will get much worse before they can even began to get better.

Irresponsible at best.

Lee speaks of morals and ethics yet the source for their information is utterly and clearly biased and Lee wrote this book merely to make money for if Lee was really concerned about the country and the world Lee would have banged down doors to get the warning out. Money is as far as Lees morals and ethics go. This is character assassination for profit.
