This is the equivalent of the "mentally ill lone wolf" rationales given for American mass shootings.
What possible difference would a psychological test make when an pre-existing felony conviction is not enough to keep him from voting, but also to actually sit as head of state?
What is happening in America simply doesn't happen without broad-based, implicit, systemic support at all the important decision-making junctures. In 2017, several of the highest-profile executive orders were slapped down in court within days. In 2025, the government is not even pretending to abide by court rulings on their EOs, and are detaining people without charge and revoking their visas without due process.
