Dear Elliott, thank you for having the courage to use your platform in this way. I wholeheartedly agree with you and anticipate a train wreck for our country if he is elected. If he is, we must not grow tired, but continue to resist.

Dear Elliott, Thank you for your thoughts and review of history. I am only sorry that you didn't send this message out earlier. Today is Election Day and too many people may have voted before reading your cogent thoughts on the ramifications of their vote. Note that I agree with your position and cast my vote via mail more than 2 weeks ago! I can't understand how people can be "undecided" after so many years of bluster.

Elliott, thank you so much for sharing these timely words. I hope and pray the American people pay attention to hateful rhetoric and recognize it for what it is. I pray people’s eyes are opened to see truth. Appreciate you, your brave words, and your contributions.

It may be dangerous to speak out but we can’t remain silent and say that we would have opposed Hitler and his actions. . This is the plea I posted several weeks ago with that thought in mind.

Many of you know I coach executives and CEOs and I get to work with incredible leaders but I also get hired for last chance cases to determine if someone is coachable and can be changed. Sometimes those leaders just have deep wounds and deep defenses. I can coach them. In other cases, the leader suffers from narcissistic personality disorder or some other issue that is not coachable. In my analysis I can say that Trump is not a healthy leader and is uncoachable.

I’m not asking people to vote for Harris. As a psychologist I’m asking people to not put someone into power who is psychologically unhealthy.

As a psychologist he is a classic narcissist but at a very scary level. His mental framework is “I’m OK, You are Not Ok” but for Trump “You” is not a few people as it is with many narcissist. It is everyone that is not him.

He cannot speak without demeaning others. Even those who are friends. As soon as they disagree with him, they are whatever demeaning label he throws at them.

Trump has told us numerous times that anyone who is not rich is a “loser” and not worth his time. He is not the supporter of the average American. We know that behind closed doors he demeans his followers. No one is immune.

He only wants your vote so he doesn’t go to jail. Trump is acting completely from fear because he knows if he doesn’t get elected he will be held accountable. He is desperate to be President to pardon himself. He does not care about you or anyone but himself.

I just ask you to listen to his speeches and track how many minutes are spent bragging about how great he is. Track how much time is spent on berating anyone who does not agree with him. Notice how that bullying is getting worse and darker.

Please do research on the economy, immigration and the other areas that concern you. Will we address these issues with a leader motived by what is best for the whole or what is best for the one?
