The Solipsistic Reality of President Trump: A Discussion with Dr. Robert Jay Lifton

This past February of 2019, I interviewed Dr. Robert Jay Lifton about his thoughts about the current political situation in America. It is always a privilege. I have been fortunate enough to interview him a few times before. (Listed at end). Recently, he gave me permission to republish his Eight Criteria of Thought Reform. In his seminal work, he concisely explains mind control, brainwashing, and thought reform. I also posted a blog about Dr. Paul Martin’s expert report on Raniere’s NXIVM in which he used Dr. Lifton’s criteria. He is a psychiatrist, an author, an expert, and an activist, to name just a few.
