How Trump's Malignant Narcissism is Changing America

Donald Trump’s latest claims about January 6, his 2028 election bid, new tariffs, the War in Iran, and a series of controversial White House actions are raising urgent questions about authoritarian leadership, political psychology, propaganda, and the future of American democracy. Join Dr. Steven Hassan LIVE as he examines this week's biggest headlines through the psychological lens of authoritarian control and malignant narcissism. In this livestream, Dr. Steven Hassan, author of The Cult of Trump and creator of the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control, examines a remarkable week of breaking news involving Donald Trump. Drawing on decades of experience helping people recover from cults, Dr. Hassan breaks down patterns of propaganda, reality distortion, and psychological manipulation can help us predict and unpack what is coming next from the Trump administration in these unprecedented times. Dr. Hassan will discuss how narcissistic behaviors provide us with a framework for understanding how Trump's grandiosity, paranoia, aggression, and the need for absolute loyalty have shaped the MAGA movement, impacting countless government offices and structures since his inauguration. This week's discussion will examine several major stories dominating the headlines, including court rulings, escalating international tensions, historical revisionism surrounding January 6, renewed claims about the 2028 presidential election, tariff battles following Supreme Court decisions, and the growing role of propaganda in shaping public perception. Dr. Hassan will explore: - Trump's continued claims about winning the 2020 election and comments about a possible 2028 campaign - The White House's ever-evolving narrative surrounding January 6 and how historical revisionism is exploited by authoritarian governments - Recent court rulings involving the Trump administration and what they reveal about executive power - New tariffs, the Supreme Court, and questions surrounding constitutional limits on presidential authority - Escalating rhetoric surrounding Iran and the psychology of perpetual crisis - How propaganda, information control, and reality distortion keep followers entangled - Why malignant narcissism is used by many mental health experts as a framework to understand authoritarian leadership - How the BITE Model helps explain political influence, loyalty, and belief systems - What these developments could mean for American democracy heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond As political polarization deepens and trust in our political institutions continues to erode, understanding the psychology behind authoritarian influence has never been more important. Join Dr. Hassan for a thoughtful discussion that separates facts from propaganda while helping viewers recognize the warning signs of coercive leadership. 📅 LIVE Wednesday, August 5th, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern | 11:00 AM Pacific 🔴 Join us LIVE to ask questions, share your perspective, and be part of this important conversation! 👉 Like, subscribe, and share to support informed discussions on cults, authoritarianism, political psychology, and democracy.

Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"

Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Holy shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter

Republican senators got to do their performative yelling at Fauci for the cameras. The cult got to get all worked up into a lather. The Republican senators will now send out fundraising emails on it. The rubes will throw them some cash. Next.

We destroyed Irans military then had to go back to fighting the non existent military but had to stop because we were using too many expensive missiles attacking the not-military because we weren’t flying over the country with no military because their non military was still a threat to our planes.

The asshole that owns the Dodgers also owns the Lakers. Oh, and he’s also under federal investigation for a 16 billion dollar fraud scheme. Will that ring be enough for a pardon?
