DESCRIPTION:Join BigTentUSA on Thursday\, July 9 at 7:00 p.m. ET for a special live conversation on our Substack featuring Mary Trump\, an American psychologist and author\, moderated by Jessica Yellin\, the founder of News Not Noise\, and former CNN White House Correspondent. \nDrawing on Mary Trump’s deep understanding of Trump’s psychological dynamics and Jessica Yellin’s reporting on national politics\, this discussion will dig into why Trump appears increasingly desperate around the election and the ecosystem of enablers surrounding him—from cowards and power-seekers to true believers and manipulators. \nTogether\, they’ll unpack how these psychodynamics translate into real-world decisions\, attacks on institutions\, and threats to democratic norms. \nIt’s our first Substack Live!
