Through the lens of psychology, Dr. Siegal, and Dr. Gardner, consider Trump's apparent cognitive decline and personality disorder that plays into his constant lying and manipulation. Dr. Siegel emphasizes the feeling of betrayal experienced by long-standing allies, pointing out how Trump's erratic geopolitical engagements are sidestepping crucial, longstanding diplomatic protocols. And Dr. Gardner examines some of federal appointments that have dangerously concentrated executive power in the hands of conspiracy theorists and authoritarians. The hosts also analyze recent town hall meetings across the country, where constituents from both sides of the political spectrum have shown a growing anger with Trump’s mayhem and Musk's shadowy involvement in the federal government. This public sentiment, Dr. Gartner asserts, could absolutely sway Trump's approval ratings, which are currently in a rapid decline across multiple polls. We’ll take a look at the psychology of resilience, and discuss how mounting resistance, seen at these town halls and in protests all over America, offers a critical reminder of the power of persistence in the struggle for democracy. As always, we urge our listeners to remain vigilant and informed, to combat misinformation and stand up to tyranny.

We’ll dissect all of the unsettling events that signal a perilous slope towards authoritarianism. Our guest Barbara McQuaid, a renowned legal expert, joins the show to share her unique perspective on the ongoing constitutional battles and the fragility of our democracy. We’ll start with a stark reflection on Trump's methodical dismantling of our democracy and discuss the psyche behind Donald’s severe personality disorder and progressing signs of dementia. Dr.’s Gartner and Siegel highlight how Donald's constant lies can have an effect of hypnosis, which is a tactic regularly deployed by authoritarians to instill chaos and fear. The hosts liken Musk to a contemporary Darth Vader, who is asserting control over vast swathes of Trump’s empire. Donald’s "Hitlerian attack on democracy," as they posit, is only exacerbated by Musk's growing influence. Musk’s reckless spree through federal agencies with unchecked hypomania, they explain, is equally alarming to Trump's chaos. We’ll also take a look at the parallels between Musk and other destructive historical figures. The doctors caution our listeners to be aware of Elon’s sophisticated use of disinformation, which has too often proved to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Dr. Siegel, drawing on his unparalleled psychological insights, urges us to arm ourselves with consciousness and resilience. In this new world, Shrinking Trump continues to deliver messages of resilience and awareness, as we dissect the characters and narratives at play.

They get help from Prof. David Ost, political scientist and historian of political history in Eastern Europe. Aside from being a world-renowned expert on Solidarity in Poland, his forthcoming book is about the rise of the far-right and the return of fascism in the west.

Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel also analyze Elon Musk’s hypomanic energy, sleeplessness, and impulsiveness—that resonate with another hypomanic: Trump. They’ll compare historical figures with similar traits and underscore how this often-dangerous behavior is glamorized in American culture to represent creativity and leadership. The hosts unravel the complexities behind Musk's unprecedented influence, likening him to a modern-day Darth Vader alongside Trump as the emperor. This paints a vivid picture of a dangerous duo wielding disruptive power across the federal landscape. Our guest, David Ost, an expert in Eastern European politics, joins the show to explore how previous authoritarian regimes were toppled by unexpected resistance movements. Drawing lessons from the Polish Solidarity movement, Ost emphasizes the need for collective mobilization. And as always, through their unique lens, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel contextualize Trump’s increasingly volatile speeches and decisions as symptoms of cognitive decline—which has been exacerbated by his nearly unrestrained power. By dissecting the unyielding pace of these authoritarian advances, the psychologists relay a critical message: awareness and resilience are key.

By inundating the public and political institutions with a relentless stream of outrageous initiatives, Trump's administration seeks to destabilize any opponents, leaving them grasping for time and unable to respond effectively. We’ll draw parallels to past regimes and examine how Trump’s deliberate psychological warfare creates an atmosphere of chaos and fear. Professor John Bone of the University of Aberdeen joins the show to explain how chronic stress can impair our cognitive functions and make us more susceptible to emotions like fear and anger. This psychological state, Bone argues, is intentionally cultivated by Trump’s malignant narcissism—his drive for power unrestrained by norms or legal constraints. We’ll also take a look at what role economic insecurities and cultural nostalgia plays in determining whether someone is more or less susceptible to Trump-style populism. Amidst the chaos, our hosts remind us that resilience lies in understanding these psychological dynamics and finding ways to counteract them. They emphasize the critical role of media and political figures to resist the reigning disinformation and fear. And they’ll better equip us all to handle the road ahead.

Drawing on their deep expertise, they bring clarity to the chaos. Hafiz Rashid, a journalist from the New Republic, joins the show to provide extremely valuable insights into the media's role, and the potential dangers ahead for journalists willing to hold the administration accountable. We’ll dive right into the troubling start of Donald Trump's new term, which our hosts describe as akin to the rise of a Russian-style oligarchy. Through the unique lens of these top clinical psychologists, we’ll reflect on Trump's inauguration, where tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg set the backdrop. We’ll also point out how his inauguration speech, rife with aggressive language, reflects his worsening malignant narcissism. Described as a harbinger of a new “oligarchic” age in America, they analyze Trump’s obvious allegiance to the billionaire class in his speech. Our hosts don’t hold back when it comes to Elon Musk’s bizarre behavior this week, including his alleged Nazi salute. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel dissect the psychological dimensions of these kinds of displays of power, and unchecked grandiosity. We’ll also talk about the incredulous blanket pardons given to the violent Jan 6 insurrectionists, and discuss how Trump’s meme coin is nothing more than a means to “cash in” on his presidency.

We’ll analyze how this impacts his decision making and discuss the worrying implications of Pete Hegseth's nomination process-where intimidation has pressured senators to overlook crucial background checks, and silence potential witnesses. Dr. Ditty provides us with unique guidance for managing the stress and anxiety that accompany these challenging political times. An expert in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Diddy prescribes powerful tools to help us maintain our balance amidst such uncertainty. Like some of our previous guests, he also stresses the need for radical acceptance to empower individuals—which means acknowledging reality, without passively resigning to it. And we’ll examine the ugly phenomenon of Trump’s world of fiction, where corporate media has let his disinformation and lies ultimately shape the narrative. Like every one of our episodes, this is a call to action. We are urging listeners to remain vigilant and courageous amidst the coming storm. As society grapples with the normalization of ethically questionable behaviors, maintaining a firm grasp on truth, and our anxiety, becomes more important than ever.

We’ll talk about how Donald’s grandiose expansionist fantasies, which reflect a delusional mind prone to destruction, may impact international relations. The Dr.’s also highlight broader issues of corporate complicity that we face, as the Press continues to normalize Trump’s behavior, and social media outlets like Facebook are bending to his influence. This has shown to be particularly problematic as corporate media fails to challenge Trump’s irrational and dangerous military threats against Greenland, and the Panama Canal. Therapist and long-term Buddhist practitioner Dr. Pilar Jennings joins the show to offer insight on maintaining your inner peace amid so much external chaos.

We’ll also continue to assess MAGA’s sweeping effects on democracy, the press, and the emotional health of America’s public.

Months later, our focus has widened to consider the implications of Trump's return to the White House. As a country seemingly on the brink of drastic changes, together we’ll ponder what these shifts mean for democracy, civil service, and the psychological wellbeing of Americans. In this all-new episode, our hosts reflect on the growing concerns about Trump’s threats to democracy and explore historical parallels that speak to the dangers of silence and inaction in the face of tyranny. Harry and John also shed light on the precarious situation facing federal employees who are grappling with the threat of political purges. And we’ll have a tense discussion about Biden using pardons to protect folks who have unjustly been targeted by Trump’s personal political vendettas. As social morals are overshadowed by political agendas, we’ll explore strategies for maintaining sanity, such as embracing radical impermanence and pursuing personal morality. Dr. Gartner opens up about his own moments of profound sadness, while Dr. Siegel explains how he alternates between denial and engagement.
