We’ll examine the pathology of Trump's deteriorating speech patterns, worsening personality disorders, and weird obsessions, and contrast it against the psychological and emotional strength displayed by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. And you’ll hear the latest update on how the Lincoln Project and George Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC are exposing Trump’s cognitive deterioration by provoking his wild responses to carefully placed attack ads.
Dr. Michaelis walks us through the impact that social media and Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior has on the national psyche and emotional connections in our communities. He’ll also work together with John and Harry to compare Trump's past and present speech patterns, which reveal a shocking deterioration of his language skills and associative thinking.
We’ll also talk about Barack Obama’s DNC speech, and reflect on the genuine power of emotional connections in building psychological health.
So listen in as our esteemed psychologists, Dr.’s Gartner and Segal set the stage for another entertaining and in-depth analysis of the latest evidence of Trump’s cognitive decline.
