Watch the ad here:An open letter condemning Trump that had been signed by 233 professionals as of early Friday also will run as a print ad in The New York Times, the PAC said in a statement sent to HuffPost.The signatories “have an ethical duty to warn the public that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy,” they write. “His symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder—malignant narcissism—makes him deceitful, destructive, deluded, and dangerous. He is grossly unfit for leadership.”Advertisement

 Read the full letter here.“Clinicians have had years to observe Donald Trump, and his behavior has long been indicative of malignant narcissism,” clinical psychologist John Gartner, the lead signatory of letter, said in a statement sent to HuffPost.“We have a duty to warn the public about the grave danger posed by returning this man to power,” Gartner added. “Trump’s conduct recalls that of some of history’s most brutal dictators, and he has already demonstrated his willingness to wield state power to hurt his enemies without remorse. Let this be a warning.”Go Ad-Free — And Protect The Free PressThe next four years will change America forever.

“If it wasn’t clear by his erratic, self-obsessed behavior, his pathological lying, his lack of moral conscience, his assaults of women, and his blatant disregard for the safety of others, more than 200 experts agree that he is unfit for office,” he added. “Voters need to recognize the threat we face electing this deranged man.”The PAC said it was spending $500,000 on this campaign, its final push of the 2024 election. It has previously released videos showing Trump being condemned by his onetime allies and friends and placed mocking billboards near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Florida, home and his golf courses.RelatedDonald Trump2024 electionsGeorge ConwayCNN Data Reporter Makes John Berman’s ‘Hair Hurt’ With New Polling DetailMaggie Haberman ‘Struck’ By 1 Thing About Trump’s Closing MessageCritics Utterly Trash Trump After His Latest 'Fascist' Slur Against ImmigrantsPeople Can’t Believe Trump Phoned Into JD Vance’s Town Hall And Asked This Question Go to HomepageLEAVE A COMMENTSuggest a correction|Submit a tipAdvertisement
