Living in America circa 2019 is unlike any other time in our nation's history. Much of the credit for that status belongs to the current President of the dis-United States, Donald Trump. The former real estate manager and reality show kingpin are the most talked about person on this earth, but he's also the most divisive. Tens of millions of people see Trump and deem him to be a malignant being with no discernible positive qualities. And yet, he was able to garner enough votes to install himself in the White House, from people who see a "strong" individual who "says what's on his mind." Trump reigns in a manner and style which guarantees blanket press coverage and constant scrutiny and attention. But all that coverage hasn't allowed the masses to figure out truly what makes Trump tick…nor has it bridged the gulf of division which separates fathers and daughters, neighbors, co-workers, which has resulted in society as fractured, arguably, as any American person living now has experienced. It can be argued that the collective mental health of our country is as bad or worse than it's ever been. That's where this podcast comes in. "Shrinking Trump" looks at the fascinating creature who is a catalyst for incredible angst and also loyalty bordering on worship, through a different lens—through the filter of mental health. With the aid and input of mental health professionals, the best and brightest psychiatrists, psychologists and students of psyches, "Shrinking Trump" will work to better understand the dizzying conduct of Donald Trump, decipher why he makes some of the decisions he does, and also collect coping mechanisms to allow us to minimize stress, anger, and other emotions which can serve to undermine our own mental health.
