You’ll hear shocking video and audio evidence of Trump’s phonemic paraphasias, erratic speech patterns, deteriorating associative thinking, and other bipolar traits. We’ll also give you an update on George Conway’s efforts to exploit Trump’s vulnerabilities and psychological weaknesses with targeted attack ads.


Our guest David Cay Johnston contributes expert insights into Trump’s psychological state. He’ll also reveal how Trump’s tumultuous upbringing with a harsh father left him emotionally and psychologically affected and is now driven by an unending need to fill an internal void.


We’ll talk about how JD Vance is both revealing a deeper, systemic thinking in the MAGA base, and alienating voters with recent ugly, personal attacks. Dr.’s Gartner and Siegel also use examples of Trump’s low-energy rants and increasingly simplistic language to demonstrate a clear deterioration of Donald’s cognitive abilities.
