In today’s session, renowned clinical Psychologist Dr. Diane Pomerantz shares her touching personal experience and expert insights into confronting gaslighting from a narcissist, drawing parallels to the national consciousness under Trump.


Our hosts discuss a brand new phenomenon called 'Kamala Mania' and contrast the VP’s warm charismatic appeal with Trump's demeaning and unpredictable behavior. We’ll also talk about how Harris’s momentum has made Trump paranoid, triggering his racist and misogynistic attacks and highlighting the psychological weaknesses in his reactive nature. 


And George Conway joins the show to share how he has been provoking and destabilizing Trump through targeted ads in safe zones like Mar-A-Lago. In fact, Trump has already reacted just as George predicted - by sending off a rambling post about Conway on Truth social. “Trump has no long game,” Dr. Segal said.  “He responds to everything in the moment. So of course George was right about it.” 


Dr. Gartner diagnoses the seismic shift of Donald Trump’s persona from a strongman to “The Diaper Candidate” now that he is up against a younger, vibrant opponent. We’ll also discuss the major impact Kamala Harris’s candidacy is having on the political landscape and explore all the brilliant ways she is redefining Trump. 


Finally, our hosts will examine clips of Trump’s most bizarre statements and antics from the past week to highlight the ways in which Donald is demonstrating signs of cognitive decline. “Our goal is to help this public think in more clinically sophisticated ways,” Dr. Gartner said. “And we're going to keep pointing out the ways in which Trump is paranoid, malevolent, petty, and fragile.” 


So be sure to tune in again next week for another awesome episode of Shrinking Trump.
