Full Speeches of Our Eminent National Security Panelists, on the Importance of Fitness

Michael Smith and Stephen Xenakis Speak as Retired Military General and Admiral

According to new reporting, retired General and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley warned, that Donald Trump is a “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this country.”  He sounds like he has read our book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.  I call “fascism” not a political ideology but “mental pathology in politics.”  Many credit us with bringing the word, “danger”, into public discourse.  Indeed, Milley was recently seen holding a copy of our book! (his colleague forwarded me a photograph).

Of course, it is now widespread knowledge, especially since the recent New York Times article, that retired General and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly secretly bought and made extensive use of our book, as a sort of “owner’s manual” on Donald Trump.  And he may even have averted nuclear war with North Korea as a result!

Milley had his own concerns that: “Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election.”  He even secretly called his then-counterpart in the Chinese government to prevent Donald Trump from launching a nuclear war or an attack on China.  Upon finding this out, Donald Trump wrote in social media that it amounted to “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!”

Without the bravery of those like Milley and Kelly, a fascist, dangerous man may have literally destroyed the world.  But more containment is necessary.  Donald Trump has had as many as seven phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin, his psychological ally with a real possibility of using nuclear weapons.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has openly boasted of his ability to manipulate Trump, and now they may together blow up the world to stay out of jail.

Alexandre Dumas-fils said: “The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”  It is the same with fitness; unfitness knows no limits, and may double down and attack if challenged.  The limits must come from without.

Therefore, it is extremely important to detect unfitness early, and when we “see something, say something,” as Gen. Dr. Stephen Xenakis underscored at the Conference as a retired U.S. Army brigadier general, Medical Corps officer, and psychiatrist.

It is even more important to understand the character traits that underlie a commander-in-chief’s ability to lead, Adm. Michael Smith outlined at the Conference.  This is why Smith, a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral and founder of National Security Leaders for Biden, spearheaded a letter that more than 700 national security leaders signed and the New York Times published.
