Trump OUTSOURCES 'Demented' Brain to Elon Musk - "Shrinking Trump" - Meidas Touch
In this week’s episode of Shrinking Trump, Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Siegel welcome Laurie Winer, co-founder of the LA Review of Books, acclaimed author, and former LA Times reviewer.
Winer explores the dangers of an administration built on lies, drawing disturbing parallels to historical regimes. She examines how cronyism and misinformation pave the way for authoritarianism, discussing figures like Kash Patel and Stephen Cheng while analyzing Elon Musk’s unsettling influence as Trump’s closest advisor. - 01/06/2025.
