Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.

Mental healthcare professionals explained the psychopathology behind Trump’s mental unfitness and pathological behavior long before he had the nomination in 2016. A narcissistic nation ignored the experts (a pathology unto itself) and now suffers the consequences.
