"We saw early signs of dementia as exhibited by his strange gait,” Dr. Segal said, “by his phonemic paraphasia's, that is his inability to complete saying certain words, and also by a kind of decline in the complexity of his language and thinking."
In this show, our clinical psychiatrist experts will dissect Trump’s “mental disintegration” as can be seen from his increasingly erratic speech, absurd connections, and inability to control his emotions.
We’ll talk about the work being done by George Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC, which is triggering Trump by exposing his dangerous cognitive decline and playing on his narcissism with targeted ads buys. And it’s working. “It provoked a reaction; it got him angry,” Dr. Gartner said. “We're manipulating him with these commercials in a way that forces him to reveal himself, that forces him to be off balance and to actually demonstrate the very pathology that we've been trying to articulate and talk about on this show.”
John and Harry diagnose the psychological impact that the Harris Walz campaigns’ true emotional connection has had on the political discourse. And you’ll hear an examination of how Trump's personality disorders lead to his many impulsive and destructive reactions.
Thanks so much for listening. We’ll be back next week for another appointment to share the latest of Trump's alarming behavior and cognitive decline.
