Our last @PsychoPAC24 ad is this extended video of a few of Trump’s sexual-assault victims recounting their chillingly similar experiences. It includes Stacey Williams, who spoke out just days ago. Suffice it to say, their courage is inspiring. 1/7 It’s a fitting finale, not only because their descriptions of @realDonaldTrump’s abusive behavior so crystallize his
malignant narcissism, but because history will record that in 2024 the women’s vote saved our democracy and put a woman in the Oval Office for the first time. 2/7

So at @PsychoPAC24 this morning, we did a thing.

I’m going to be posting about it during the course of the day. Not all at once, mind you. But you may want to follow along, and get others to. Particularly those of you in the media.

For now the 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 time since we launched @PsychoPAC24 with a video in which I explained how our object was to educate the public and the media about @realDonaldTrump’s Cluster B personality disorders (Narcissistic and Antisocial) under the DSM-5, and about how these personality disorders explain, predict, and allow us and others to trigger, his aberrant behavior, Trump has referred to himself in a rally as having a “personality defect.”

I do think we’ve given this man some psychological insight about himself. @PsychoPAC24 should send him a bill.

(The first time he used the phrase “personality defect l” was just under a month and a half ago, in Asheville.) 👉

Hi. It’s time for everyone to play “Help @PsychoPAC24 Design a Video That Will Get Under a Certain Psychopath’s Skin.”

Anyone five or older can play.

First, if you had to choose videos to illustrate Donald Trump’s colossal incompetence, what would you choose?

Example: my favorite would be him suggesting that people be injected with household disinfectant as a covid remedy.

What other clips would you suggest?

As I’m sure many of you have, I’ve been thinking a lot about the electoral choice we have in 2020 with more focus over the past few days, and I keep returning to a conclusion I reached a while back, but felt was not realistic enough as a scenario to be worth expressing. And that is that, for the good of the country and their own good, both of the major-party presidential candidates should retire.

Absolutely agree with @Delavegalaw, @MichaelCohen212, and @meiselasb. I was in the courtroom that day, and I found that moment to be a good one for the defense, but felt it was only a small one and essentially the only good moment during a rather long, meandering, and ineffective cross-examination.

I was astonished—shocked, in fact—when I learned that television viewers, particularly on @CNN, had been misled into believing that the defense had dealt some kind of death blow to the prosecution’s case.

Some of the mainstream media coverage of the case has been downright bizarre, and remains so. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Here’s what I said about that day right after court, at 5:04 pm EDT on May 16, 2024. I’m not patting myself on the back for being right; I’m just expressing mystification about how many others could have been so wrong.

Chris defends the Goldwater rule in his “deep dive.” It has been the subject of severe criticism among many mental health professionals. Their informed criticisms are far more persuasive than Chris’s cursory defense. I attach a (small) sampling of their articles: researchgate.net/profile/Donald…

Every bit as funny as, “It’s past your jail time, Donald.” Dealing with Trump is actually easy. He’s not normal. So you don’t treat him as normal.

You treat him like the nut job he actually is. But you do it with humor.

Yep. Even if Cohen had advanced the money in October 2016 on his own without any expectation of repayment by Trump—a ludicrous lie—Cohen would have committed a campaign finance violation (which is why he pleaded guilty to one). Hicks’s testimony establishes beyond any question that Trump knew about that illegal and undisclosed contribution, and knew that his reimbursement of Cohen was not a payment for legal services.

“Former President Donald J. Trump’s new shared fund-raising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs a portion of donations to the political account he has used to pay his legal bills before any money goes to the party itself.” “The order in which entities will receive funds from big donors through what is known as the Trump 47 Committee was disclosed in the fine print of an invitation to a big dinner next month in Palm Beach, Fla., where top donors are asked to contribute up to $814,600 per person to attend.”

“There is ‘overwhelming’ evidence that Donald Trump is suffering from dementia, a leading psychiatrist has claimed, amid speculation about the state of the former president's mental health.” “Dr. Lance Dodes, a supervising analyst emeritus of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and retired Harvard Medical School professor, was among those recently quoted by Duty To Warn, which describes itself as an association of mental health professionals concerned about Trump.”

“Donald Trump’s … over-the-top rhetoric is not new and, for more than 400 licensed medical professionals, it’s not the most troubling aspect of Trump’s public performances.
 
“They see evidence that the former president, at 77, is suffering from ‘probable dementia’ so they have signed their names … to an online statement asserting that grave concern.” “In a long series of testimonials, doctors and other professionals cite Trump’s use of incorrect words or jumbled words, suggesting a condition known as paraphasia, a common indicator of dementia.”

There’s some commentary on here saying we should disregard Trump’s “bloodbath” remarks last night because he was talking about potential harms to the auto industry.

That is misguided. 1/x Trump may well have been referring to a “bloodbath” in that industry. He’s sufficiently incoherent that, as is so often the case with him, it’s hard to tell one way other what exactly he’s talking about at any given moment. 2/x

For years many people—big, strong men, with tears in their eyes—have been saying to me, sir, you should do a podcast. It would be a tremendous podcast, like no one has ever seen. (1/5) And my reaction has always been, “Aren’t there too many podcasts in the world? How many podcasts can our small, fragile planet handle? Shouldn’t we be trying to conserve our resources for other far more important things, like Corgi TikTok videos?” (2/4)

“When you pick apart the many subsidiary legal issues swirling in Trump’s certiorari blender, they dissolve one by one.

Hi @JeffClarkUS there are at least 50 nonstops from DC airports to Atlanta tomorrow and 51 on Thursday.

Hope this helps.

No need to thank me.

I know you’re rushed enough as it is.
