Commentary: Is President Trump Causing Toxic Stress? [www.scattergoodethics.org]

A researcher and psychologist from Philadelphia pose the question, is President Trump causing toxic stress?

The presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public.” And with that Jon Stewart, former host of the Daily Show and comic genius, touched on an overlooked but very serious public health question.

Is Donald Trump, with his daily Twitter harangues, impulsive and outrageous executive orders, and all around nastiness harming the health of individuals?

Have people become more anxious, edgy, angry, and generally negative because of him? And, if so, at what point should we be concerned from a public health perspective?

The question that's been on my mind is: what is Trump's ACE score? And Bannon's? I ask this in all seriousness.
