Kathleen Hascall: Forget tax returns, I want to see Trump’s psych exam

As a 77-year-old widow, I have seen a lot in this world. I will likely be gone before the ramifications of a Donald Trump presidential win would affect me, but it’s the young people who are following this pied-piper con-man. It is their children and grandchildren who will suffer. Maybe growing up in their time, entertainment is all important. Think people! Look ahead!

The most important thing we should ask of our candidates is not for a copy of their tax returns or health records, but a psychiatric evaluation! That would eliminate Donald immediately.
