Shrinking Trump: Performance, Pathology, and the Presidency (1 of 3)
Manage episode 510058530 series 2801733
SHOW-NOTES
Something disturbing is happening in real time, and mental health experts are sounding urgent alarms. The most powerful person in the world is showing clear signs of cognitive breakdown – creating words that don't exist, telling impossible stories as cherished memories, choosing advisors based on how they look rather than what they know. But here's what makes this truly dangerous: millions of people are adopting these same dysfunctional patterns as their own.
This episode reveals the psychology behind the chaos. We trace how decades of professional wrestling taught Trump that performance matters more than truth, how his brain is measurably deteriorating in ways experts can document, and how he systematically eliminates anyone competent enough to challenge him. Most importantly, we show how one person's psychological dysfunction is spreading like a virus through American Culture - and why our traditional ways of responding are making it worse.
What happens when someone with dementia and a personality type psychologists call "the quintessence of evil" controls nuclear weapons? We're finding out. Understanding these patterns doesn't require expertise - just the courage to see what's right in front of us before it's too late.
