About this listen

As this best seller predicted, Trump has only grown more erratic and dangerous as the pressures on him mount. This new edition includes new essays bringing the audiobook up to date - because this is still not normal.

Originally released in fall 2017, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump was a runaway best seller. Alarmed Americans and international onlookers wanted to know: What is wrong with him?

That question still plagues us. The Trump administration has proven as chaotic and destructive as its opponents feared, and the man at the center of it all remains a cipher.

Constrained by the APA’s “Goldwater rule”, which inhibits mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined, many of those qualified to weigh in on the issue have shied away from discussing it at all. The public has thus been left to wonder whether he is mad, bad, or both.

The prestigious mental health experts who have contributed to the revised and updated version of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump argue that their moral and civic "duty to warn" supersedes professional neutrality. Whatever affects him affects the nation: From the trauma people have experienced under the Trump administration to the cultlike characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and beyond. With eight new essays, this edition will cover the dangerous ramifications of Trump's unnatural state.

It’s not all in our heads. It’s in his.

This program is read by Alex Hyde-White, William Dufris, Hillary Huber, Rosa Maria Bramble, Nanette Gartrell, Leonard L. Glass, Prudence Gourguechon, Luba Kessler, Bandy X. Lee, James R.

Listen now before it's too late.

It's sad that this was released months ago, and it is even more accurate and important now than back then.

This must be heard whether Republican or Democrat

Whatever political background this must be heard by everyone to understand the state of uncertainty and craziness we are living in

Narration?

An excellent group of contributors with valid points. I found most sections would have benefitted from professional narration.

A bit of a wake up call for the Trump fans.

Kind of crazy that this man is leading the most powerful country in the world. Whether you support Trump or not, I believe this is one book that anyone who has a conscience and of sound mind and body, should take the time out of their day to read/listen to this book. I know the MAGA's like to talk about how the stock market and the economy have never been better but it's not just about the dollars in your pocket and a low unemployment rate. The fact his trigger happy finger is on the button to control the future of humanity is something we should all be concerned with. Listen to the professionals.

Holy $!-!/T they knew this 2 years ago?

Never did I imagine a Trump Presidency would be as bad as it has been. I never expected him to threaten those investigating him (re:the military and cops and bikers are on my side comment) But these professionals knew that the norms don't apply to him. That he is a baseless character incapable of remorse and living in his own reality of alt-facts. Many of the most outrageous things Trump has done are flat out predicted by the authors in this book. I would say this is required reading for anyone interested in the how, why and what's next for this Trump presidency.

I loved it!

For those with PTSD due to Trump.... This is your happy place. After the intros, then the first half of the book is like having your first coffee in the morning.
