Dr. Jerrold Post is the founding director of the CIA’s Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior. As the CIA’s head psychological profiler, he served under five American presidents of both political parties. Following his 21 years of service with the CIA, Post became a professor of psychiatry, political psychology and international affairs at George Washington University.
Post is the author of 14 books. His latest (co-written with Stephanie Doucette) is “Dangerous Charisma: The Political Psychology of Donald Trump and His Followers.”
In our conversation, Post explored how Donald Trump’s “dangerous charisma” fuels his authoritarian movement and his control over his followers. He also discussed the way that Trump and his followers are tied together in a powerful pathological knot of collective need and desire, whether Trump will leave office peacefully and how Trump’s malignant narcissism informs his political decision-making and relationships with foreign leaders. Post also addressed one of the key questions of the Trump presidency: Why is he so obsessed with Barack Obama?

You really and I do mean really need to brush up or maybe even discover the history of the CIA. I feel a bit embarrassed for you! Here's just a tiny example: JFK intended to break into a thousand pieces and cast it into the wind! He started by firing Allan Dulles. Future proves past, once again, Dulles was the head of the Warren Commision...you know...the magic bullet theory people!
Speaking of JFK's assassination. Q: why did Jackie climb onto the trunk of the car?
ps Remember the treasury agent running to get to her? Have you ever tried to catch a car on foot before....
