YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump, his buddy Putin, and his association with the Kremlin are back in the headlines -- and this time, their alignment is explicit. As reports emerge that Trump’s latest national security strategy mirrors Kremlin priorities, questions about foreign influence, cognitive decline, and escalating authoritarian power are no longer fringe concerns. Join cult expert and The Cult of Trump author Dr. Steven Hassan for a LIVE current-events Q&A on Tuesday, December 10, 2025 at 2pm ET, breaking down what this moment means for democracy, global stability, and the psychology of power.
Back in 2019, Dr. Hassan warned that Vladimir Putin and the Russian state were exerting undue influence over Donald Trump, a warning many dismissed at the time. Now, as Europe and U.S. allies react to Trump’s Russia-aligned national security document, those warnings look disturbingly prescient. At the same time, growing concern over Trump’s cognitive decline, his erratic decision-making, and authoritarian escalation has moved into mainstream discussion.
This week we will connect breaking news, cult dynamics, authoritarian psychology, and propaganda, helping viewers make sense in these increasingly dark and confusing times.
In this livestream, Dr. Hassan will discuss:
- Trump’s national security strategy and why it aligns with Kremlin interests
- Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the long-term influence Dr. Hassan outlined in The Cult of Trump
- Rising concerns about Trump’s dementia and cognitive decline in positions of power
- Marjorie Taylor Greene and the normalization of extremist rhetoric
- The resignation of a U.S. admiral connected to Pete Hegseth and instability inside defense leadership
- How cult tactics, propaganda, and fear are used to justify dangerous political and military escalation
