Westen, an emeritus professor of psychology from Emory University, is known for his work on the psychological aspects of political campaigns and decision-making. Westen shares his brilliant insights on Trump’s cognitive deterioration and discusses Democrats' strategies in dealing with Donald’s behavior.


Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel analyze recent indicators of Trump's decline, which have escalated from subtle abnormalities to outright chaos. They dissect his latest episodes of disjointed speech patterns, bizarre off-topic rants, and an inability to maintain a coherent narrative. And we’ll underscore how the media has left a vacuum for independent journalists to fill by refusing to cover these issues properly. 


Using specific examples, we’ll assess the degradation of Trump's language skills into simplified syntax and disjointed thoughts—which stands in stark contrast to his previous style. We’ll also take a look back at our hosts' early warnings about Trump, which were largely dismissed by the media and public. They lay out in stunning detail how Donald’s signs of early dementia and severe personality disorder, which experts like John have been calling out since 2016, have now become undeniable.


In this episode we’ll also present a strong contrast of Trump’s implosion with Kamala Harris’s composure and competence. Against Trump’s incoherence, Harris has emerged as a beacon of clarity, authenticity, and vigor - giving rise to her support among independent voters.


Our hosts discuss the latest legal troubles for Donald, and highlight how his inability to accept the 2020 election results are symptoms of his narcissism and rapid cognitive decline. We’ll talk about all of the recent prominent figures that have acknowledged Trump's dangers, and we’ll explore some of the wild possibilities of the post-election landscape.


We only have a couple episodes left before the election, so be sure to join us next week for another highly entertaining and insightful episode.

Each week, psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal sit down for a session focused on a singular, complex subject: the mind of Donald Trump. In their Shrinking Trump podcast, produced by Really American Media, they apply their clinical expertise to publicly available behavior and speech, methodically documenting signs of cognitive decline and exploring the ramifications of his diagnosed malignant narcissism. They are joined by a roster of expert guests from various fields, turning each episode into a nuanced discussion that goes beyond standard political commentary. Dr. Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins psychiatry professor and founder of the Duty To Warn association, brings a particular urgency to these conversations, framing them within a broader ethical context. This isn't about partisan politics; it's a forensic psychological examination of a figure who has profoundly impacted the national landscape. Tuning in, you'll hear a careful, evidence-based analysis that breaks down rhetoric and action through a clinical lens, offering listeners a distinct perspective found in few other news and politics podcasts. The dialogue is direct, informed, and dedicated to understanding the psychological drivers behind the headlines, providing a deeper framework for interpreting ongoing events.
