      I posted the first comment to Jennifer Rubin’s newsletter. Trump’s decline: His interviews and lies get worse (I added the spiral background)  Here’s what I wrote: There’s a line between being unable to “handle reality” and being able to discern what is real from what isn’t real. Trump may be engaging in wishful thinking and avoidance…

        Yesterday I wrote about Trump’s psychopathology: Does Trump have a mental illness and if he does does this make him dangerous and unfit for office?  Today I will focus on what most readers of this blog consider to be his vile odious personality. Having what at least half of the country considers to be a…

          It seems terribly late to ask the questions in the title. After all, not only have I been speculating about this in my writing since 2017, but so have numerous mental health professionals. There was even a book titled “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” which Wikipedia describes as “a book edited by Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist,…

        • Does Trump even know he’s pronouncing Kamala’s name “Commie-la?”. By Hal Brown, MSW

            Here’s an excerpt: Krugman concludes: Trump and MAGA seem to be responding by throwing lots of stuff at the wall and hoping some of it sticks. However, the kind of character attacks that worked against Hillary Clinton and, in a different way, against Biden don’t seem to be gaining traction. I almost felt sorry for…

          • The stressed out biggest brain is getting smaller. This is not a surpise. Trump is human, after all. By Hal Brown, MSW

              It’s possible, even likely, that Trump’s brain has actually shrunk or atrophied due to his advancing age. This is a normal process. It doesn’t necessarily meant that his ability to make rational decisions has been impaired.It is also possible that his brain has shrunk due to early dementia. Whether or not this has happened the…

            • Now that it’s been reported that Trump calls Kamala the B-word in private, should she add another word and embrace it? By Hal Brown, MSW

                I read about about this  Experts say Trump’s vulgar insult for Harris ‘not going to help him win more women voters’ (RawStory) HUFFPOST put it on the top of their website Click above for more articlesI thought I’d pose a question about whether Kamala should turn this misogynistic insult back against Trump. I have no…

              • Thanks to Stormy Daniels Super Mario Kart mushroom character Toad haunts the deep recesses of Trump’s mind, by Hal Brown, MSW

                  When I saw the HUFFPOST front page article below this is what I thought of. What can I say? I was a Freudian psychotherapist for 40 years. I’ve been reminded that everyone doesn’t want to waste “head space” with knowing about this and some people don’t know why the Super Mario Kart video game mushroom is…

                • The “Battle of the Dolls” which could have predicted who the next president would be probably won’t happen, by Hal Brown, MSW

                    2024 election,

                    I noticed yesterday that a Trump with an injured ear bobblehead doll was being offered for sale. They didn’t show how the actual doll would look so two cheezy mockups were published. As I was planning to write about the injured ear bobblehead this story came up:  It was reported back in 2017 here: I…

                         Of all the photos from the Helsinki Summit meeting (some of them are here) Trump, if he was the democracy loving patriot he wants people to believe he is, it would be one like the photo on top rather than the photo on the bottom he’d have wanted to have seen in the media. That photo was…
