Over the weekend, President Donald Trump ordered up the National Guard to deal with violence that broke out in Los Angeles amid protests of Trump's immigration policies. This has angered California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is suing to stop it. But then Trump expressly told reporters that he might send the Marines into California. He also openly endorsed the idea that federal law enforcement should arrest Newsom based on zero legal basis. Taken together, those moves show Trump's perpetual threat to unleash troops on Americans getting much darker and more unnerving. We talked to former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade, author of the book Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America. She explains why Trump's moves are increasingly lawless, how this is all posing a severe test to our system, and ponders whether we're passing that test—or failing it.

We'll dissect all of the unsettling events that signal a perilous slope towards authoritarianism. Our guest Barbara McQuaid, a renowned legal expert, joins the show to share her unique perspective on the ongoing constitutional battles and the fragility of our democracy. We'll start with a stark reflection on Trump's methodical dismantling of our democracy and discuss the psyche behind Donald's severe personality disorder and progressing signs of dementia. Dr.'s Gartner and Siegel highlight how Donald's constant lies can have an effect of hypnosis, which is a tactic regularly deployed by authoritarians to instill chaos and fear. The hosts liken Musk to a contemporary Darth Vader, who is asserting control over vast swathes of Trump's empire. Donald's "Hitlerian attack on democracy," as they posit, is only exacerbated by Musk's growing influence.  Musk's reckless spree through federal agencies with unchecked hypomania, they explain, is equally alarming to Trump's chaos. We'll also take a look at the parallels between Musk and other destructive historical figures.  The doctors caution our listeners to be aware of Elon's sophisticated use of disinformation, which has too often proved to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Dr. Siegel, drawing on his unparalleled psychological insights, urges us to arm ourselves with consciousness and resilience.   In this new world, Shrinking Trump continues to deliver messages of resilience and awareness, as we dissect the characters and narratives at play.
