What does this say about Pence and the GOP
Frank Crossword nearly everything we’ve suspected of them for years....
well....they are getting whatever they want out of him. he is allowed to praise putin and then gop/white-house-admin convinces him to say russia interfered. Wherever it suits them, they support him....and use him as a blunt tool against dems/liberals.
trump is as active as can be to distract us from the shock doctrine agenda. We think he's got the ball but he doesn't have the ball. The moneyed ones and Putin the most qualified fascist dictator have the ball. And they are a runaway train.
Rick Roybal .
Yeah , I think "they" know exactly which strings to pull.
Petulance, illiteracy , bombast ,egocentricity and megalomania. Choose your string and the puppet jumps.
Frank Crossword Republican voters and trump supporters exercise a willfull ignorance of their own best interests. It baffles me.
Thank you thank you thank you for this interview, hardly anyone is talking about Trump's mental pathology which is the basis for his irrational increasingly bizarre behavior
So this is the state of the art? Trump is President but he is not all powerful. Newsflash!
There is no comparison to what we are dealing with now. Your response is inadequate for this subject. You should re-evaluate your position on the President by using a sturdy reasoning without a comparison.
James Schrader: For fuck's sake, is that all you stupid Trumpsters have is "whataboutism" to defend him??? We need to deal with the person who is power right now and the damage he is doing, not deflect onto people who are no longer relevant.
James Schrader gosh another crazy trumper! Get a life!
Hey Futurist's Foresight Which response? Schrader or Devta?
When I think of the adoration Hitler received while in power from ordinary people, and see what is happening now... people I know and love who defend his every word... I am terrified.
Janet Colletti I’m just sad that there is so much hatred in this country. It’s the us vs them mentality that is filling people with so much rage. 😢
You shdnt be terrified. You shd listen to what they're trying to tell you. The Hitler comparison is ridiculous.
When I heard trump was running for president I could only think of a song called “the rise of evil” by sabaton out of Sweden, and I was seeing a repetition of history, and sadly I was right, I was hoping I was wrong, that all my fears weren’t going to come true, and most of them have not happened. However, he was backed by the klan, and the American born nazis but never distanced himself from those groups.
Sithius Daughter, Try to listen, you were not right. That's what most people think of Hillary, Mueller, Obama, deep state, "swamp" who are financing this inundation of negative messages, to cloud reality, infect the collective consciousness... at the same time not reporting anything that doesn't agree with their premises. Now that's evil.
Trump was never backed by kkk. www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/donald-trump-disavows-david-duke-kkk/index.html - sad but you CANNOT trust the media anymore. It DOES affect the mass consciousness, as anything you hear over and over does!.Til you think its real.
Hill really was. They always start a counter rumor to counter and cloud the truth. It's a tactic. Dirty politics at it's dirtiest.
(Watch to the END) th-cam.com/video/Pr6M9jVK48M/w-d-xo.html .. really disgusting what they are trying to pull.
Yet it ALWAYS backfires; townhall.com/columnists/joyoverbeck/2018/07/11/how-the-walkaway-campaign-is-drowning-the-blue-wave-democrats-n2499243
I wouldn't let this 'Dr.' take my temperature.
Impeach was predicted a long time ago. (Watch to the END)... th-cam.com/video/xZxv-0LxG_A/w-d-xo.html
Please try to clear your minds somehow any way you can for all our sakes... If you do, I promise you'll find this is right, however it sounds to you now.

It is absolutely terrifying. And their all out assault on reality never ceases. As you see here, they go on the internet and troll their campaign, not understanding that no one is buying their BS anymore. It's like Scientology. People know it's poison now and they aren't recruiting new members. Same with this Trump cult. But the damage to our democracy and the vulnerability from outside invaders will be a significant impact that we feel for generations.
This is right on the money!
Even more frightening now 2024!
David's interviewing skills are getting better on a continuing basis. Well done.
There were two very important people in his life 1) his father and 2) Roy Cohn. If you know these two then you know him. I have never cried when the president I voted for lost, but 2016 was a day I teared up. I already knew enough about him to know he was a narcissist, and a thug with plutocratic determination.
I also cried; I was afraid for humanity when that sicko was elected.
It was the first photo of Pence I saw, day after 16 Election, that inspired a fear.
Me as well. As a teenager to young adult I knew he was an awful person. I do not understand how or why people believe him. Frightening
Look at the state we’re in now high gas prices open borders 2 wars started under Biden.
This is an accurate description. Most people will not know how it is obtained. The situation is dire.
David Pugh And you don't have to be, a trick cyclist to check the traits of a psychopath and correlate them with Trump's traits.
It's obtained by common sense and being human - all what the psychologist in the above describes was visible like on a plate before Trump was elected. It was noticed by many people, inside and outside of the USA. IMO it's not the problem itself - the problem is that too many people do not mind.
Leeloo Minai I'm 55 and I have been seeing this kind of crap brewing since RONALD 6 WILSON 6 REAGAN 6. OBVIOUSLY, WITH DADDY WARBUCKS 1 HERBERT, "W" AND NOW DUMBTY TRUMPTY ANTI-CHRIST, THEY ARE LITTERALLY WORSHIPING THE DEVIL AND DONT EVEN KNOW IT. GOD HELP US ALL!
@James Schrader: If she was elected, not much would probably change with respect to the previous years. Corruption, rich getting richer, so-so on the humanity front (by that I mean people not treated like cattle.) Overall pretty bad. Also: the situation would be immeasurably better than the current one (at least for the USA): USA would probably still be taken somewhat-seriously by the world. That train has passed by now: new leaders emerged.
James Schrader that was dumb.
This is one of the most insightful and professional interviews I have previewed. As a physician I highly recommend people watch it!
I cannot wait to vote. Goddamn EVERYBODY !!!!!! VOTE !! Let's take our country back......
Make America Great again by Impeaching trump or not voting for him again!!!!
Thank god we won back the House. I will never miss voting again in ANY election.
Yes, I am with you on that 💯
Yaaay lets get out and vote in rigged elections! Democracy is dead in the United States.
Fleck Smugbrother You have to vote Democrat not Republican
This is one of the most cohesive, thoughtful discussions I've heard on the subject. Thanks for posting this.
That was an excellent assessment of Trump's behavior. He *has* gotten so much worse since taking office and I fear how bad it could get. We must have that blue wave to save us from this monstrous man.
kristabella222 to hell with the Blue Wave, we need a frigging blue Tsunami!
kristabella222, like every other single bully from the playground to the top of government. If they have no boundaries they keep getting worse; pushing to see where the edge is.
kristabella222
Pray tell, regale us with your psychology background to make this assessment. For one, you have no starting point,ergo you have no case. All you have is highly dubious videos from negative sources. Interesting how you totally missed the pathology of Obama. So much for your supposed skill sets.
Mordalo how do you get the internet living in the Victorian era
Ryan Pudlowski
I don't see a point to answering that as you wouldn't comprehend it. For starters, get your eras correct.
All this craziness in one presidential figure and we still can't invoke the 25th Amendment. #BrokenPoliticalSystem
why not?
@@ilonkaknutson63 Because it would require the VP, half the Cabinet, half the House and two-thirds of the Senate to get him out. And then we get Pence...
Ken Jackson right? We need more directly democratic processes in America. I’m tired of relying on corrupt dipshits.
Moss Linden Two words! National Referendums!
We’re one of the only major democracies in the world without this option.
You have to also wonder about those that support and enable Trump.
Greg Raines That is the most shocking thing to me.
Exactly!
Wonder all you want, Greg. This drivel has an element of confirmation bias. Embarrassing blissful bias. The rebuttal to these assertions is simple. So simple.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality
www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/our-emotional-footprint/201512/the-appeal-demagogues
You mean like Ryan and McConnell? Simple. They're sociopaths.
I wish this interview could be broadcast on mainstream media so more ppl could see this. It is an important interview
Lili M you make an important point! James Paul Cella.
Lili M very, you are right
Lili M Imo it's a highly misleading interview. Of all the Dr's who would never say that, they find and use this one as a brainwash tool as it fits their agenda. Trump's successes, that they do not talk about, show how wrong it is. That could not happen if the diagnosis was even remotely true. You are all being had by media mind CONTROL. Watch videos on media mind control and cnn mind control techniques.
Great Interview Everyone Should Share This Video Everywhere
I knew it! I've said he had Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder! However, he's a full blown sociopath as well, basically...
Basically. He cares too much about how others see him, while not understanding why they see him that way. If he was a clinical sociopath he wouldn't be this thin-skinned.
RogueBishop89 - He's all 3. The thin skin comes from the Narcissism.
I didn't think he has Antisocial Personality Disorder. Maybe that's why he has distanced himself from historic allies and aligned with dictators.
I have had a Narcissist in my life who was every bit as mean, vindictive, devious, and sadistically destructive as Trump. Entitled, self absorbed, selfish, haughty, Arrogant, grandiose, thin-skinned, deluded, paranoid, neurotic. He also exhibits the dark triad traits of triangulation and Machiavellianism. He actually called me "a sick puppy", l "have a lot of darkness", all which are projections, he's telling on himself he knows he is a very sick individual...
Malignant Narcissists see the world as black and white. You are either with me or against me in a dog eat dog world. There's only so much attention and resources to go around. I'm not going to let anybody hurt me, I'm gonna get them first. If you hurt me, l will hit back and hurt you worse. I'm going to win at ANY COST. This is why they are so jealous, ruthless and competitive.
The only time an NPD individual stands down in the presence of some he/she perceives to be superior. Trump at that joint press conference with Putin proves my point. Trump was uncharacteristically deferential, submissive to Putin (clearly the Alpha male he wants to be associated with and learn from: can an old dog learn new tricks?). Makes me want to vomit.
I am looking into what Richard Branson has to say about Trump with this one meeting they had together. Spoiler alert: it's not good at all. www.nbcnews.com/storyline/2016-presidential-debates/trump-vindictive-dangerous-rather-sad-says-virgin-s-branson-n672516
We don't need a doctor to know that Agent Orange is losing what was left of his mind. We know he's nuts, most of the world knows he's nuts.
well the KIND of " NUTS " is what we are discussing , to be more specific
The Rest Of The World ALREADY Knew Before We Did And That's The Problem.
Agent orange- I've not heard that one yet! I call him DUMPTY TRUMPTY...... SAT ON A W A L L! WE'RE BAD!?!!
Courage Karnga .... and one amazing fact is that 'the world' -whatever, whoever the world is- is watching and doing nothing! Today it's the separation of children from their parents; what will it be tomorrow? A nuke?
Courage Karnga As a son of a Vietnam vet and being a person with disabilities stemming most likely from the exposure of Agent Orange, I definitely appreciate that truth and yet the symbolism.
Thank you Doctor, I appreciate your insightful critique.
The good doctor made a very telling point in comparing the Trump of the 1980’s to the Trump of today, the decline in his verbal skills and thus cognitive capacities is very marked. The guy was stupid to start with, now he has dementia as well as a range of other psychological conditions....is America going to do something about this shocking mess?
And now what does this say about the mental health or condition of his most fervent followers? I have the misfortune of working with a few
I remember reading something saying it's mostly just right wing athoritatian personally types. Colloquially you might call them "Sheep" they score high in tests about "obedience to authority" for example.
Eddie the Head, I read about this also. I couldn't remember the term. Yes it absolutely describes Trump followers. These types are generally manipulated by fear.
Never mind about the guy's mental state, it's the economy - Trumptards
Ah, Trumptards? Things tend to get real bad under guys like Trump. You may have short term gain, followed by long term pain.
yettobseen as an outsider looking in, it tells me that something is fundamentally wrong with society to produce so many messed up, angry and illogical people. The really sad thing is that where America leads, the world follows. 😕
yettobseen sorry to hear that. Stay strong!
Dear Mr Pakman and Dr Gartner, Excellent interview.
That was very informative, Thank you for having Dr. Gartner.
Extremely eloquent insightful discussion about what has been clear as daylight to millions of us since the beginning of this swirling nightmare.
Thank you for warning us. Most of us aren’t as knowledgeable about mental health but we know something is really wrong with the President and as a leader of the free world he is a big fat zero. We are praying for a miracle
A very interesting description of Trump's behaviour, thanks to both David Pakman and Dr Gartner, good questions and good answer.
This presidency should teach us a lesson that our system is flawed. No one person should have that much power. That one mad man could end human civilization its just so absurd. There should be a revamped checks and balances system including multiple psychiatric evaluations both during and prior to becoming president.
M Lucas he doesn't but our Senators and representatives aren't doing anything. Republicans control both houses and they let Trump do whatever he want. Stupid voters voted these people in. I hope for a Blue Wave but I'm not counting on it.
M Lucas yes! and they need to stop giving one party all the power! make both partys have equal power to make government work better! that might stop one party manipulating the other.
Stop having "debates" and make candidates play a few rounds of "Jeopardy" instead.
Republicanism.
I am a psych nurse. I agree with the good doctor. And it is very disturbing that Congress takes no action to remove this man from office. The damage to our country and to the planet, especially our relationship to the world is in grave danger. And unfortunarely, this man"s condition has a very poor prognosis and is unlikely to ever be responsive to any kind of treatment. He is not fit for office in the most dangerous of ways. That complacency of Congress is disturbing and it scares me as an individual of any health care plan they would come up with for the every day man. Duty to Warn is a term I am familiar with. We can tell enough from the way Trump does business to conclude he is a danger. A sit down interview with the psychiatrist might be nice,but is not essential in this case case.
I too am a retired mental health nurse and I’m in complete agreement with this evaluation. He is a malignant narcissist and extremely dangerous because he now has so much power. So scary. Our only hope- Mr. Mueller and VOTE!!
Our country is doing better than ever now! we were heading straight down the drain if he had not won. His Presidency is considered one of the most successful starts and that's with all the obstruction./ Imagine if they'd only remove themselves and stop being subversive, dishonest, in the way..And still peace in Korea and massive numbers of sex trafficking arrests.

Deborah Watkins The Goldwater rule was during a time when you rarely saw the person. Clips from television and newspapers. Mental Health practitioners couldn't make a diagnosis at that point in time. Trump is EVERYWHERE. You can observe his behavior and words. I'm not a mental health professional but I am quite familiar with the DSM. He is a cluster of personality disorders. Malignant narcissism with sociopathic tendencies and delusions of grandeur. Paranoia. Anger problems. A private citizen would have a 72 hour psych hold.
Totally agree with you
William Webber Exactly. The doctor should diagnose Hillary the entire dnc caught in their lies, the ever thinning smokescree over the child trafficking.... what kind of people finance Iran without even feeling like they needed our consent to send our cash? Iran's arms have our serial numbers on them. Then use a doctor to legitimize, to perform character assassination.
Whatever you want to say about his mentality, he's making the commonsense decisions that play out just as he says;. 4.1 gdp...
No, this is media created fiction. That's why walking away and commie msm ratings are the lowest on tv. My mom had multiple psyche degrees. This is just another attempt to undermine trying to make it sound legit.. The prob is the left is evil enough to use violent means after this setup.. JFK
Well I watched part of his New Hampshire rally last night. It was just a repeat of all other rallies he has done for years. Very boring.
Trump's NOT HAPPY till everyone else is NOT HAPPY.
So when a person runs for the highest office in the land, their mental stability is not checked first, have I got that right?
jd2616 ...but most paranoid nut jobs can go out and buy a hundred guns? We need better mental health care!!
@@Circlewisewoman01 What about strict gun-laws? Would solve one big problem at once. And if you contradict my point - go and have your mental health checked.
Nor all the crimes he has been convicted of the greatest and leader of the free world has no eligibility requirements such as education, experience or love all humanity. This is what happens when people do not vote. The constution and job requirements needs to be revised to the 20th century.
This is so good and truthful!
This video is 6 years old. If it would be truthful he wouldn't be able to finish a sentence. Or maybe you think "urgently deteriorating" means having the wit and sense of a man 50 years his junior.
That's why he forced his cabinet members to take a loyalty oath.
Dr Gartner does a great job of outlining Trumps pathology.
For any thinking and mentally healthy person this was pretty obvious the second he got off the escalator, and actually before if you knew of Trump before his campaign.
David I wish you would also bring on a psychologist to discuss the pathology of his supporters who see so little and deny so much of his actual behaviour. It's borderline cult member to me.
David V - GREAT IDEA! If we can get enough people to email David, your idea would probably happen.
They thinkg he's going to help them keep more money in their pockets just like when Daddy Warbucks Herbert Walker did when he told them to "READ MY LIPS" AND HE RAISED TAXES ON THOSE DUMBASSES ANY WAYS-the LIERS!

DUMPTY trumpty sat on a WALL....... we know the rest of the story. God help us.
Speaking colloquially as a layperson, it's obvious that Trump is CRAZY. However, it must be noted that the aspects of psychology and psychiatry that deal with mental illness are quintessential pseudoscience. They way in which "illnesses" are defined in the DSM -- for example, the so-called "personality disorders" -- are extremely arbitrary and fuzzy, and do not begin to approach the standards of hard science (like physics) or real medicine; rather, the level of scientific rigor is more along the lines of (or just a hair better than) Aristotle or Freud (= not good).
Trump never fooled me. I saw through him decades ago. It mystifies me how many people can't or aren't willing to see the obvious, to the detriment of our nation.
To understand social phenomenon the correct expert is a Sociologist not a Psychologist. The 'Base' group often referred to 'Trump loyalists' have come together as a group because of Trump. Now, 'belonging' to something that sets them apart, on the 'winning team' has become a powerful thing in their lives. Trump called them the 'forgotten' people' that Politicians had ignored for so long and that resonated in how they felt about themselves. They were angry and bitter about the way they had been left behind as the Country shifted from industry to technology, corrupt Bankers were bailed out and the government took the money from the services those people needed, and wealth was concentrated in an elite and undeserving few.
Historically this stuff is as old as the hills, every dictator has found a narrative that caught the imagination of the mob and thrived on division and hate. Those that fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. So... what happens next... what does history tell us about dictators? They are defeated and the mob drags them out into the street and kills them. But just before that, something happens, that makes that possible, a growing resistance movement, the Dictator is compromised as his secrets/scandal become public, and the Dictator seems to be weakening/failing/loosing.
Dr Gartner see things clearly and he is exactly right about Trump.
Interestingly enough after viewing this video I jumped over to an older video about the Presidential debate between Trump and Jebb Bush where apparently Trump had made a remark about Jebb's wife and that Jebb must like immigrants because he married one. So -- he can make this statement ( with a straight face ) about someone else when he himself at this time and also another marriage, was and is married to an immigrant, and refuses to apologize. So when you view this it's difficult to see whether it's merely clever political maneuvering, or a deep psychosis, but you also have to wonder if one doesn't often lead to the other.. and how far down the rabbit hole this guy is.
Well put.
Edward Ames Castellano
Jeb Bush's wife is Latina and rump's wife is white. Remember, he wants people from countries like Norway.
@@alisn1derlan220 He wants people from Scandinavia and goes with Czechoslovakia and Slovenia. Seems like a poor man´s choice.
Walter Rudich 😂I love that comment! And the one above too. I’m embarrassed to admit being American!!! The comments on this column are so dead on correct it breaks my heart to see how the world now sees us because of this awful man. I’m praying USA wakes the hell up before 2020 but his ‘base’ simply doesn’t care what he says and does! It’s madness. My best friend doesn’t even speak to her MOM anymore over him. And it’s her Mom that loves trump! It’s coming to a civil war here if something isn’t done quickly! Pray for us world, we really need it. He and his people ARE NOT THE MAJORITY HERE. We normal folks are frantic and heartbroken by what he’s done. And will continue to do until 2020 or Mueller’s report can remove him from office. 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
@@sandytonkin2004
I see all of this too and it's frightening- - all of it.
Excellent show. Knowledgeable, articulate and qualified speaker breaks down what is seen in Trump very clearly.
Just watched this again. Still holds up.👍💯
What an excellent interview. Thank you both!

Wonderful! This is a very informative interview, and your guest "hits the nail on the the head"! I wish that all Trump supporters would let this 'sink in' for just a moment... rather than jumping on the defensive.
Keep up the great reporting and interviews, Dave.
This good doctor speaks the absolute truth! There must be still more sane people than not who understand that trump and his republican enablers have been leading the nation and the world to a very dark place.
This all sounds very accurate. I enjoy looking through the DSM, having world leaders (and leaders of the country) in mind. It's easier to beat when you understand.
I knew Trump was disturbed, but never have I heard it articulated to this extent. Scarey
I've been waiting for a video like this for the last 18 months, this was extremely interesting, helpful and necessary, Thank you for posting.
People will hear this from a profesional and still say there's nothing wrong with him.
he is not a professional. no professional would ever talk about someones mental heath without seeing them one on one. these are the rules for a reason and any dumb ass saying otherwise is not a professional.
Goobzor very true that being a psychologist you can't diagnose w/o seeing one on one. But, the fact that he is saying what almost everyone else who was giving their input on DTs mental health was saying kinda just confirms what we all knew.
Bjay _jw Not true. Firstly a professional is someone who makes a living in their line of expertise - he does. Also you obviously didn’t bother listen to what he was saying as he said modern diagnostics techniques uses observations from other people as well as one to one.
Anyone can watch one of Trumps rants and see that something isn’t right, anyone at least who isn’t so fanatical in their support for him that they are too blind to see what the rest of the world can. I’m not sure what scares me more, Trump or his fanatical supporters. He is only as dangerous as those who obediently follow him and carry out his bidding no matter wrong, cruel or dangerous to the rest of us.
This isn’t just about you, you know. This man is in charge of the most powerful military in the world and I and others want to know if there is a chance there is something mentally wrong with him and hope there are enough decent people left in America who would be willing to take action.
Frank Anderson i agree with the both of you. That's what I was saying to the other guy. He happened to correct me by saying that profesional psychologists aren't supposed to give a firm diagnosis w/o either seeing them in person, or like you said, with observations of the client by other people like family or friends.
Also I don't know where in my any of my previous comments I said anything was about me. All I said was that there's obviously something wrong with Trump and I'm suprised when people try to deny it. But I guess maybe you meant to respond to the other guy?
+Goobzor they aren't supposed to give diagnosis without an interview due to _liability_ , not from a clinical basis. The whole field of forensic psychology is based on previous behaviour with our without interviewing the subject. They don't have to _catch_ a psychopath to know a perp is one.
The problem is that almost all politicians can be painted with this brush
25th amendment needs to be enforced. Problem solved.
Raquel Alhaqab
Not while Congress / Senate / Vice President don't go that route.
Let's get November to the blue side for Congress and Senate, then that amendment can be tackled.
Raquel Alhaqab-Read the Twenty Fifth Amendment, it's not that easy to impeach a president, and they have to have a signed letter that he can't handle his duties from him. What do you think the chances of that happening are.
.
Donna Johnson It'd be easy to impeach him. His multiple emoluments violations are impeachable. He says he handed the business over to his kids but he still profits from them and his kids also work in the whitehouse.
As a person who (unfortunately) has experienced abuse from narcissists all my life. I can confirm Trump really fills all the standards on that one.
In a relationship with any narc they display an unyielding perspective on the world, and anything that doesn't fit into that view must be false. I was always taken aback when I was accused of being a liar (with no history of lies) just because I presented ideas or events to the contrary of the Nacrs beliefs. I see this now displayed in Trump with the whole "fake news" thing.
To me the signs are very clear for people who know what to look for. This is just one example.
Hey, you're talking about my brother here! Wow.
Nora Liliannita me too, I recognise them
Why is no one paying attention to this. If, God forbid, he was in my family (that's gross to imagine,) I would find a neurologist immediately.
Then they came for the Latin Americans,and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Latin American.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

well, this kind of things going on for years and you idiot didn't know about it cause nobody told you. now you hate trump and listen to the idiot doctor who doesn't know shit either.
ask clinton, ask bush, ask obama, why they did the same thing but never told you anything. stay where you are, be ignorant
Julie Horan The Republican Party does not have the stomach for deposing a “member” of their party. Republicans control both the House and Senate. I do not feel any allegiance to either party. Our only hope is the midterm elections. Vote the Republicans out; it is all we can do at this point. EVERYONE must get to the polls. Except for the delusional supporters of Trump, of course. Please stay home.
Thank you 🙏🏼 ! This interview should be seen by everyone
Great interview. Questions were asked and answered very articulately and clearly, and without resorting to hyperbole. Thank you for posting.
Chilling....
David, this was very informative. Thank you. Respect. Shared.
Great job AGAIN, David. Thx.:)
The stable genius isn't so stable, after all
Sally Daniel Or much of a genius. Ignoramus comes to mind.
nor so genius
Daniel Sanchez More an ignoranus. An idiot and asshole combined!
Anyone who has to declare himself to be stable, genius, the greatest etc etc, does it because he's the complete opposite of what he declares.
I grew up with a dad like this. He was convinced he was a genius and the rest of the world is wrong. He beat his own dog to death, and didn't express any remorse, with the justification that he was trying to sleep and the dog barked. My dad physically and sexually abused me, again with no remorse. He somehow had the whole family rallying behind him. Relatives either denied the abuse or would blame me for it. It was impossible to convince the police I was telling the truth. I was abused almost to the point of losing my mind, being told what I thought happened didn't really happened. I started questioning my own sanity. I luckily managed to run away as a teenager. He did die of cancer almost 20 years ago, so he's no longer in my life. But my family still speak of him as if he was the greatest. My mom is the only one who will admit there was something mentally wrong with him, but then would claim that he meant to be a good person. With Trump being president, it just reminds me of my dad. But worse, because he's the president.
Desktop Kitty what a harrowing story. thank you for sharing
i really hope you're as ok as you can be now and somewhere safe. it's so sad, isn't it when death is the only thing that can release someone and/ot others around them. i can relate painfully well. wishing you the best of health.
my sincerest condolences,
at least that bastard (i apologize to all bastards) had a really shitty death...
may his soul rot in niflheim
and as always the victim gets the blame,
disgusting how people deny the truth in the face of real suffering,
sadly i've heard that kind of story far too often,
be it parents, pastors or teachers... abuse of authority and power is just sickening...
asa og vana
celtic tree thank you
Desktop Kitty I'm so sorry! 💔 I have PTSD from trauma & my heart aches for you & the invalidating reactions to your trials & pain.
So much love to you.
💗💗💗💗
Paul Donvito I'm so sorry that you can relate, & for everything you went through. So much love for you too xo

Trump must never hold office again....for the sake of America.
I bet you hated those lower taxes, higher wages, safer streets, cheaper gas, safer world etc etc. If you hate success then move to Cuba.
Howard Stern actually said before Trump announced he was running, that,” He didn’t believe Trump could mentally hold up if he were President, because Trump wants EVERYBODY to like him.”
Thank you, David :o)
Multiple conditions: malignant narcissism, paranoia, social apathy, sadism ..... UGH! I'll go back to the original work of Erich Fromm; it's worthwhile reading before the next nuke sends the world's light on a loooong vacation.
that's what I thought why is he still the president?chicken shit rebublicans. get him out of there and them and penance with him. terri
*sociopathy
(It's worse than social apathy.)
Prolly won't be an actual nuke from us - saying Iran has them will just serve as the excuse to start the war. So that's where to look for signs of the light getting snuffed out.
Simply said, he’s as crazy as a shit house rat.
You just described every Democrat.
In retrospect this diagnosis is chillingly accurate.
Urgently deteriorating? Accurate? Trump is doing 3 hour podcasts and 2 hour rallies in the same day. I don't know what you constitute as mental deterioration but it seems to me that he's doing way better than Biden and Kamala, who can't finish sentences.
@flameguy3416 joke's on you mate. I'm Australian so I don't really give a sh*t what lunatic you guys pick.
David, you should make this interview with Dr. Gartner available to every media out-there, web, cable, paper, etc and to every GOP senators.
Sad truth is the GOP already know who he is! They turn a blind eye cuz they're making $$$ off of this danger to our future...
What an excellent assessment and expert use of DSM.
I think the Analysis should be more pointed towards his Supporters & the fact that they either cannot see or deny what is SO obvious. How they can support & rally behind a Person CLEARLY suffering from mental disturbances, these demonstrated on a daily basis if not hourly. Why?!
DharmaOfDog
I totally agree with your analysis of the ignorance of his supporters! But this was a report on Trump. Maybe David could have him come back and analyze his supporters and give warning! If it would do any good! But I get what you’re saying!
We should all be weary of anyone who tells you to only believe him and no one else. To not believe your eyes or ears.
Wow David really excellent work on this one.
I really enjoy the information you put out David. Thank you!
Thank you David for bringing this out in the open it makes sense and it's right describing rump
Finally somebody speaks clearly about the obvious, and not blocking himself with the outdated idea that diagnosis needs a face to face interview with the patient. The problem is, opinions like this are not going to be published but in niches like this. The broader public will not get this to see.
There is a Book written by 27 Mental Health experts that explains all of what Dr. Gartner said and more - that book is "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" available in libraries and Book Stores, including Amazon.
Nancy Stowell Books and Dr's are desperate mind control - we have results and that's what matters, it cancels out the media negativity.
Good interview!
Trump is not well! He reminds me of someone from a retirement home.
You remind me of someone fro a brothel !!
I'm in a retirement home.
Mate, that's not right, he's waaaaaay worse!
Safiya Roble...he looks like someone from a retirement home...
That's mean thing to say about people in a retirement home.
A private in the military is better vetted than presidents it seems. You give the nuclear code to someone who wouldn't pass a psychological screening. May Gd help us all.
Urgently you say? So he must be fully comatose by now, since this was 6 years ago, right? Right?
It's time for guillotines. It's time to raise the boards. We can't take this orange buffoon anymore.
macro deth he is in God's hands now. HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT, WE THE PEOPLE CAN'T SEAM TO STOP HIM!?!! GOD CAN DRAW LEVIATHAN OUT With A HOOK! Help us, God!
People didn't even tried to stop him ... they're ony talking.
Geather 1 or 2 million people and walk to the White House and the congress then sit there for days. Pressure them days after days in the streets, make them scared of the people, of their will, make them scared of the democracy power.
Americans didn't even tried to stop him.
Oh my ...
...
Yeah, that's what i said, they did nothing ... *facepalm*

After reading these comments, it seems like many people do not have a basic understanding of what malignant narcissism, sociopathy, or any of the other conditions that were mentioned, actually mean. It takes a certain type of psychosis to become a politician, CEO, celebrity, etc. Most seem to be Narcissistic or Sociopathic in one way or another. You have to be to get to the top. There are different ends of the spectrum. Some have additional mental instabilities, like Trump. That's where you're not understanding. He is a complex case with many levels to it. He's high on the spectrum and is dangerous because of it. The delusions, paranoia, conspiracies, lies, grandiosity, ego, temper, lack of control, and on and on. He's a ticking time bomb. This Psychiatrist is 100% correct. He's not the first mental health professional who has stated this either. The numbers are growing everyday. Trump followers, please listen. We are trying to reach you, somehow before It's too late.
"Psychiatrist: …" It should be plural. Actually I don't know a psychiatrist who doesn't question Trump's mental health; and being myself a shrink I know a few.
P L E A S E UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, go out and vote this november! Show your true colours! save yourselves, save the world before the damage is greater!
This guy is accurate. Trump is the epitome of the mad King.
Its crazy that we have been through this before with leaders like Hitler. How can we repeat the same thing
Dr. Gartner, Thank you so much for validating the truth, which many people have suspected. It is so frightening to think that so called
“ intelligent people “ actually support him. I, for one, have spent many sleepless nights worrying about our country. I have been likening his attitude and behavior to Hitler for quite awhile. Please spread this important message! I don’t think a lot of people truly understand the severity of his problems. God bless you for reinforcing the truth. Most of us to not have the credentials you so admirably worked for. I hope you are the answer to our prayers that those who have turned a blind eye will wake up and save our country. God bless you and keep you safe, healthy and happy and, above all please get this message out to all voters!
Has anyone disconnected the red button yet?
I agree with the psychiatrist. We have to be worried at all levels....seriously I hope his 'senate and congress' hear this.
we need more of this discussion... Trump is simply nuts and there is no telling where that takes us.....
This is great information, timely, and accurate. I'm not a psychiatrist but have studied abnormal behavior and the DSM. I've also researched some of trump's earlier interviews and it is clear he is loosing his grip. I completely agree with your findings. Just watch trumps interviews from the 90's and even earlier. His speech has deteriorated and his ability to form coherent and complete sentences is failing.
Very good interview- sobering stuff
LOCK HIM UP!!
The electoral college should have stopped this. That was their job, and they failed. The USA is too big, and economies too interconnected (and too many currencies pegged to USD), for any major international player _not_ to vet their leaders for fitness to do the job. Physical disabilities, depending on just what they are, can be more easily worked with with the help of some adaptive devices, for example, and should not be viewed as a sign of weakness. Regardless of your opinion of her politics, Rep. Tammy Duckworth is an example of someone who works hard while having a pretty significant disability, and despite the way she got that disability being pretty badass (I think most know the story behind how she became an amputee), it wouldn't make her weak if the backstory was more mundane... she still carries on, works hard, and even juggles her duties with new motherhood.
As a person with multiple mental disorders and a major physical disability, myself, I empathize with my fellow disabled people, and I do caution the general population that there are regular people with severe personality and other disorders who need treatment and some understanding that they can't entirely control their thoughts and behaviours. That said: if it can't be treated sufficiently so as to allow that person the functionality and ability to responsibly carry out their duties, then they have _no_ business in an institutional position of power over the general welfare of one person, let alone _millions_ of them. Personally, I would not put _myself_ in such a position of power, nowhere near it, because the emotional pressure would _definitely_ send my anxiety sky-high and my depression to the lowest depths, regardless of medication (it can only do so much), and because I care too much about the welfare of others to put them through that. People need a mentally competent leader, political leadership affords too much power to make this about an individual's right to hold any position.
BCPR well said. But you are in treatment and it seems from all of the leaks that the president doesn't even know he has a problem. So the issues are that much worse and have no easy remedy.
Oh, I know. Trump doesn't realize, nor will he accept, that he has mental disorders and is in cognitive decline. He's waaaaaay beyond any treatment sufficient to make him a functional leader.
I speak more about the future beyond Trump... how things need to change, to ensure that someone with that much political power is competent to carry out their duties. I expect that when we're all past this horrible nightmare and the Dems regain control, there will be several changes to the law, to make it harder for this nightmare to recur. There _needs_ to be ironclad checks and balances which absolutely _cannot_ be foiled by any person or party's attempts to circumvent them. The ignorant masses (a gullible, malleable pool of voters intentionally deprived of a quality public education by the establishment, mainly the GOP, to make it easier to gain their trust and their votes) simply _aren't_ equipped to recognize that there is something seriously wrong, here, nor can they predict or comprehend the economic and diplomatic ramifications of his actions. They just have faith that this demagogue knows what he's doing... and to some extent I do feel bad for them, because all of it, even their tribalism, is largely a product of decades of social engineering.
BCPR I think you're right. I've been trying to get my head around how so many Americans just repeat his lies word for word...not subtle things but facts that could easily be checked such as having the lowest unemployment rate in history. Even the business news junkies should be horrified at getting that wrong...but they're not. Congress passed a resolution telling him to stop lying about how NATO was funded and...crickets...
I know part of his allure is that he tells people their lot in life is not their fault. For most that's true but in this case he is blaming others for the issues. Maybe they always blamed the "others" like immigrants, women or liberals but he certainly has upped the game in this respect.
In Canada this wouldn't have happened...not that he would have been elected in the first place but we do have a way to remove a leader or the government if they get too far out of line ie. A non confidence vote which is not a big deal like impeachment is. It seems odd that that's the only remedy in the US. I don't think your president would ever have submitted to a psychiatric test. He still hasn't produced his tax returns but something does have to be done. It's like you're looking into the abyss.
No, in Canada this wouldn't have happened. We have stricter campaign finance laws, and much shorter election campaigns. The USA really needs to get money out of politics, and hackable technology, as well. Money =/= speech, as money is currency, and you can't buy the shit you buy with money, with speech. Power and wealth will, inevitably, corrupt... because humanity will always have a few amongst us who'd rather be selfish and cruel, than benevolent. BTW, hello fellow countryman! 😉
BCPR haha hello fellow Canadian. Yes I agree. When your election take a 2 years instead of 6 weeks inevitably money becomes more important. As PM Mulroney used to say "You dance with the one that brung you". Lobbyists and donors become more important than voters when you don't have enough money to put up the next TV ad.
This man should have NEVER gotten in office!
A really interesting interview with someone who gave an excellent summary of range of reasons (as a medical professional) why we should all be concerned about Trump and his mental state. Very worrying times !
When the autopsy of trumps brain is performed, they will be astounded to find that half of it has been eaten by rats, the other half will be made of strawberry flavoured jelly! 😆😆🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yeah he is definitely a professional he knows what he talking about 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
*I would be ashamed to be tricked into voting for someone who is soooo stupid. Even a 10 year old child can tell tell when he's lying.*
Narcissheimer's
ha, yes. I have been screaming this 'term' about him since before the election but usually nobody notices.
This has to be added to the DSM!!
karen goldner IKR!!!
AND NOW!!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S DAVID!!!!
Excellent piece - though it doesn't take an expert to surmise that the cheese slid off that cheeseburger long ago!
This guy trump needs to be put in his place.
Careful friends...remember 45 is an elected official so...lets say a life spent in ridicule, jokes being made in his name as well as financial ruin (again!) is much better.
@Dark Dan: you mean like a padded cell?
This is a sick man!!!
5:18 I've been saying this for 3 years, he used to be polished, somewhat smooth, now he is just a bunch of chaos and rambling.
