    TRUMP’s Cognitive Decline is on Full Display

    Your favorite shrinks, John Gartner and Harry Segal, look at Trump's meandering tour of the Cabinet Room while sounding the alarm on his encroachment on democracy. And as an added bonus, Harry actually sings!

We’re calling this one “The Deterioration of Dominance,” because it lays bare how eroded norms and unchecked authority have collided with signs of cognitive decline—an alarming combination for any democracy. First, our hosts sketch Trump’s psychological profile, zeroing in on malignant narcissism: his profound empathy deficit, his penchant for punishing perceived enemies, and the criminality that shadows so many of his maneuvers. Drawing on interviews, public statements, and the latest behavioral research, Gartner and Siegel show how these traits drive everything from impulsive tweetstorms to chaotic decision-making. A centerpiece of today’s discussion is foreign policy. The pair dissect Trump’s erratic handling of US arms shipments to Ukraine—including the explosive revelation that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused deliveries without consulting the president. Rather than a sober strategic decision, Trump’s response—through contradictory statements and off-the-record leaks—becomes a lesson in image management gone awry. We also map the unsettling echoes of authoritarian playbooks inside America. From heavily militarized ICE raids to executive overreach on birthright citizenship, Gartner and Siegel trace how the normalization of fear and secrecy undermines civil liberties and chills judicial independence. This isn’t mere theory; it’s a blueprint of how incremental abuses can hollow out institutions. Throughout the episode, parallels between Trump’s grandiose self-view and Vladimir Putin’s real-world power plays drive home the stakes. Can minor policy disruptions ever serve global stability, or are they simply cover for an emboldened strongman fantasy? Our hosts debate the risks—and the slim paths to push back. Above all, “The Deterioration of Dominance” is a call to vigilance. Understanding Trump’s psychological drivers isn’t just psychoanalysis—it’s a roadmap for resisting the drift toward authoritarianism. If you believe democratic processes matter, this is a must-hear.

  • A Deep Look at Trump's Cognitive Cracks and Courtroom Hacks

    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!

    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.
