Im planning to watch it today. Its likely nothing new because I know a WHOLE lot of shrinks, and know people who know Lance Dodes and John Gardner. Theyve had an interesting few years because the Goldwater Rule, not diagnosing people en absentia, is taken very seriously. Psychiatry has a scary history of abusing people who are troublesome. But dont think psychiatrists, psychologists, analysts, therapists, havent been aware from Day One that 45 is a dangerous man. Psychology is complex, and there are co-morbidities at play. Malignant Narcissism plus cognitive decline is a terrible combination. Filters crumble. Tendencies concretize. Paranoia ramps up. People like to think 45 is stupid, but hes notor he wasnt. He was always an entitled asshole and a narcissist to the core but he has declined terribly. And we need to be very aware where were headed if he gets to continue.

I was sorry that Bandy X Lee wasn't in it, but other than that, a home run. The George Conway scenes were very moving. The other surprise is that Anthony Scaramucci is pretty intelligent.
