I don’t think this segment was intended to be funny, but it’s pretty hilarious. CNN’s Don Lemon talks to Dr. Allen Frances, the Chair of the DSM IV [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders] Task Force, who says that it’s unfair to mentally ill people that critics of Donald Trump are calling him mentally ill.
I mean, he makes a good point, and it’s funny too. Check it out:

At one point the good doctor says that he got a lot of letters from mentally ill people who were thanking him for defending them from being compared to Donald Trump.
That’s fantastic.
