When Donald Trump tore up the landmark Iran nuclear deal, he demolished the diplomatic foundations that once held Iran’s weapons ambitions in check—and in this conversation, we see exactly how his grandiose impulses, chronic dishonesty, and craving for adulation warped into dangerous saber-rattling.


Gartner and Siegel trace how Trump’s narcissistic need to be hailed as a peacemaker morphed into headline-grabbing threats, all while nutty misstatements and public obscenities exposed a leader increasingly detached from reality. They warn that his authoritarian tendencies—manifested not only in ICE’s unchecked tactics at home but also in the looming prospect of military action abroad—represent a serious drift toward a police-state mentality.


This episode isn’t armchair psychoanalysis; it’s a call to arms for all of us. The next bomb to fall will be the product of a fractured psyche, not just bluster. Gartner and Siegel insist that the only antidote to this unraveling is sustained democratic oversight, principled diplomacy, and relentless public engagement.


Don’t miss their trenchant, unflinching analysis. Subscribe to Shrinking Trump now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, or iHeartRadio—and join us as we unravel the psychological and political forces reshaping our world.
