"Insane", "crazy", "totally fucking nuts"–Trump's mental capacity is the subject of much speculation, joke-making, and earnest concern. But how should the subject be approached by the media? On this week's show we explore the ethics of diagnosing mental health from afar, the conflation of mental health issues with moral turpitude, the negative effects of the media's nonstop stigmatizing of "insanity" and how to balance all of the above in the face of the unique threat of Trump. With guests s.e. smith and Dr. Dean Burnett.
