As experts in psychology, our hosts offer a unique perspective into the broken psyche of Donald Trump, and the implications of a NATO conference that had the whole world watching. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel reflect on the intense developments surrounding Trump’s collaboration with Elon Musk, leading to disruptions within NATO and unsettling repercussions for Ukraine. The duo, seasoned in clinical psychology, voice their concerns about the psychological undertones and the dangerous precedent set by these global shuffles. We’ll analyze Trump's alarming behavior, which stems from early signs of dementia and profound personality disorders. Dr. Siegel draws from his deep connections with Europe, and stresses the betrayal that must be felt by our longtime allies. Our hosts also dissect Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's remarks at the NATO conference, where he essentially forfeited America’s leverage against Russia. The broader national security concerns, hostile appointments, and strained international relationships we’re seeing symbolize a dark shift in America's global standing. Beyond the chaos, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel spotlight the rising resistance. Reminding us all of the importance of maintaining awareness and resilience, they encourage listeners to remain informed and engaged in these uncertain times.  Be sure to join us next week, as we continue our mission of Shrinking Trump.
