Damn. Trump MAGA lost us another resource: "Shrinking Trump" podcast with two psychologists,

Dr. John Gartner (founder of "Duty to Warn" and consultant on multiple media outlets), and Dr. Harry Segal. They have had this weekly podcast for more than a year, but family, friends, and others beseeched them to end the podcast as "eyes were beginning to be trained on them..."

They had a number of guests and did not merely talk about Trump's psychological and physical disorders, but also how they impact his behavior (and our loss of democracy). They did not shy from the truth (although Gartner was more the pessimist and Segal the "attempted" cup-half-full persona. They both had a sense of humor, though, and will be missed. Sigh...

Their last and all previous podcasts can still be streamed here (at least for now):
