The Mask Is Slipping: Mary Trump, Norm Ornstein and David Rothkopf on Donald's Dangerous Decline

Mary Trump joins David Rothkopf and Norm Ornstein on DSR Network's Words Matter for a candid, unflinching conversation about Donald's accelerating decline, both cognitive and physical, and what it means for the rest of us. 

Mary breaks down the perfect storm: longstanding untreated psychiatric disorders, age-related physical deterioration, and a man who has spent his entire life hiding who he really is and can no longer pull it off. The mask is slipping, and as Mary warns, that makes him more dangerous, not less. A nihilist who can't imagine the world surviving him, Donald won't go down alone if he goes down at all. Serious conversation, sharp insight, and yes, more than a few laughs along the way.
