  • A Deep Look at Trump's Cognitive Cracks and Courtroom Hacks
    2025/07/04
    They’ve done it again. In our 57th episode of Shrinking Trump, clinical psychologists Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Siegel unpack everything you thought you knew about Trump—and then some. It’s been a whirlwind week, with the former president scoring courtroom wins that feel as hollow as they are dangerous, and our hosts cut straight to the heart of it: malignant narcissism, judicial manipulation, and a man unraveling before our eyes. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio Gartner and Siegel trace the arc of Trump’s authoritarian playbook, showing how stacking the courts with political loyalists has transformed judges from impartial referees into enablers of executive overreach. They dissect rulings that seem engineered to free him from ordinary checks and balances—decisions that leave you wondering if the next “emergency” declaration could come with a presidential rubber stamp in hand. But it isn’t just the law that’s breaking down. Our hosts turn an unflinching eye to Trump’s own mind and body, charting the telltale signs of cognitive and physical decline he can no longer hide. From his slurred syntax to that trademark right-leg bounce, every slip and stumble becomes evidence in their case: this is a leader whose capacity to govern is collapsing under the weight of his own frailties. Even the policies he champions bear the scars of his deranged worldview. Take his latest budget blueprint—an assault on Medicaid and social safety nets that will strip healthcare from millions, especially in the rural heartland that once cheered him on. Siegel doesn’t mince words: calling it “immoral” barely covers the human devastation it promises. These are cuts that won’t stay on paper—they’ll show up in empty medicine cabinets and closed clinic doors. Throughout the conversation, one theme reigns supreme: the relentless power of Trump’s lies. Gartner reminds us that every falsehood isn’t just self-aggrandizement, it’s a deliberate strategy to corrode trust in our institutions. The more he distorts reality, the easier it is for him to redraw the rules—and for us to forget what democracy even looks like. This isn’t armchair analysis; it’s a call to arms for your mind. Awareness is our first line of defense and Shrinking Trump hands you the psychological lens to see his tactics for what they are—and the political roadmap to resist.

  • Trump lies about the Iran strike while trying to “obliterate” the press!
    2025/06/27
    Clinical psychologists, John Gartner and Harry Segal, review the week in Trump – his pathological grandiosity, his irritable scolding, and his premature claim of victory. They discuss these and other events with a very special guest. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio When Donald Trump tore up the landmark Iran nuclear deal, he demolished the diplomatic foundations that once held Iran’s weapons ambitions in check—and in this conversation, we see exactly how his grandiose impulses, chronic dishonesty, and craving for adulation warped into dangerous saber-rattling. Gartner and Siegel trace how Trump’s narcissistic need to be hailed as a peacemaker morphed into headline-grabbing threats, all while nutty misstatements and public obscenities exposed a leader increasingly detached from reality. They warn that his authoritarian tendencies—manifested not only in ICE’s unchecked tactics at home but also in the looming prospect of military action abroad—represent a serious drift toward a police-state mentality. This episode isn’t armchair psychoanalysis; it’s a call to arms for all of us. The next bomb to fall will be the product of a fractured psyche, not just bluster. Gartner and Siegel insist that the only antidote to this unraveling is sustained democratic oversight, principled diplomacy, and relentless public engagement. Don’t miss their trenchant, unflinching analysis.

  • The Doctors Analyze a Nation at a Crossroads
    2025/06/20
    In this all-new episode, Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Anahita Dua joins psychologists Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Siegel to navigate today’s turbulent political landscape. Now on our 55th show, we pull no punches as we expose the full weight of Trump’s cognitive decline, malignant narcissism, and the dangerous impact these traits have on our democratic institutions. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio We’ll break down Trump’s escalating authoritarian impulses—illustrated by the recent deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. This isn’t a shock tactic; it’s the predictable outgrowth of his autocratic ambitions. By twisting the truth and firing off false narratives, Trump and his cronies are setting the stage for repressive, martial law–style measures. The psychologists make it clear: we must stay alert if we’re going to prevent this slide into tyranny. The conversation gets real as they draw stark parallels between historical dictatorships and Trump’s reckless leadership. We hear about his impulsive decisions, glaring cognitive lapses, and the chaotic, almost self-destructive nature of his policies. Their message is blunt: Trump’s chronic dishonesty and erratic behavior aren’t just quirks—they’re a fundamental threat to our democratic norms. Adding fuel to the fire, the episode features an eye-opening discussion with Dr. Aida Dua of Harvard Medical School. Dr. Dua lays it out: funding cuts aren’t just numbers on a balance sheet—they represent a deliberate effort to dismantle American scientific innovation and global leadership. Dr. Siegel explains how these cuts risk stifling the very breakthroughs that keep our nation on the cutting edge of medicine and technology. Wrapping up, we take a close look at the public’s response to Trump’s warped governance. The roaring success of the “No Kings” rallies show a growing, collective cry for real democracy. Even amid the oppressive actions of ICE agents and the shocking assassination of a Minnesota politician, the steadfast resolve of peaceful protestors gives these psychologists—and all of us—a glimmer of cautious hope. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel don’t just analyze the mess—they issue a powerful call to action. They urge you to stay informed, be relentless in your scrutiny, and never back down from defending what’s right. After all, if you have a platform, you have a responsibility to wield it in the fight against toxic leadership. Don’t miss this riveting episode of Shrinking Trump as we expose the psychological underpinnings of one of the most dangerous political eras in our history.
