## Resource

The mental health of the American president is critical to the future of the country–and it’s clear to even a casual observer of Donald Trump that his patterns of speech, inability to state the truth on just about any subject, and the apparent joy he gets out of watching other people suffer–indicate that something strange is going on in the way he perceives the world.Psychiatrists are often reluctant to speculate diagnosing someone in the absence of a face-to-face clinical exam. And yet, it appears that Trump has taken several such exams–including brain scans and mental acuity tests–that he brags about, but never releases reports on. Which is why I have brought Frank George, Ph.D. onto the show today. George holds a PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of Colorado Boulder, and was formerly the Chief of Behavioral and Biochemical Genetics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He’s an expert on narcissistic personality disorder and writes a popular substack that focuses on Trump’s Mental state called “The Gaslight Report” which I highly recommend you take a look at.Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join
