Trump is a Broken Man Who's Breaking America - Thom Hartmann
History teaches us that when self-centered national leaders arent constrained by their own people, the results are usually tragic. During his first presidency, Trump had largely surrounded himself with normal adults who succeeded in moderating his behavior and restraining his worst impulses.
This time, however, hes succeeded in surrounding himself with people just as pathetically child-like, morally and developmentally, as he is. Theyll lie, cheat, or bully on his behalf, as weve recently seen with the public statements of many of his most senior officials.
As weve seen with their attacks on and arrests of a state judge, member of Congress, U.S. Senator, and Newarks Mayor, among others, when a troubled man like Trump succeeds in surrounding himself with other people who share his developmental stunting and has disposed of the adults in the room the results can be horrific. - Aired on 07/02/2025.
