Fox News psychologist Gina Loudon argued to Sean Hannity that Donald Trump is not only mentally up to the job but that he might be the most psychologically fit occupant of the Oval Office ever!
Loudon, who seems to have replaced Dr. Keith Ablow as the Fox News shrink most in need of one, visited the Hannity show last night after a senior Trump administration official anonymously published a devastating editorial in the New York Times about Trump’s unfitness for office,
Loudon used the occastion to flack both her book and Trump on the air.
LOUDON: My book actually uses science and real data and true psychological theory to explain why it is quite possible that this president is the most sound-minded person to ever occupy the White House.
Of course, nobody asked what science or data or “true psychological theory” she used. But her book’s description on Amazon does not exactly promise scientific rigor:
In Mad Politics, Fox News commentator, radio host, and psychological analyst Dr. Gina Loudon diagnoses the problem with America’s status quo politics. Loudon has unique insight into both the Trump campaign and the larger political landscape as a member of the president’s 2020 media advisory board, a former surrogate for his campaign, the wife of a former Senator from Missouri, the co-host of a national Television show, a seasoned psychological analyst on FOX News, CNN and others, and a twice pedigreed Master and Ph.D.
With authority and wit, Mad Politics exposes cultural patterns that have led to today’s political narcissism. She scans the psychological literature and illuminates a formula to answer the question: How can we restore a sound mind to the body politic? The answer, Loudon concludes, may be in joining Trump in a complete rejection of political correctness.
Nor does Loudon's tweet claiming she has more credibility than Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward. His latest book was already roiling the White House with its explosive details before the Times editorial was published.
My new book, #MadPolitics DESTROYS #Woodward’s drivel about @realDonaldTrump.

My book is based on solid scientific research, fact, & knowing President Trump & his family.
His book is based on gossip, inuendo, & partisan fantasy. #PickYOURPoison https://t.co/JZnGF2qChc
The Washington Post, which got an advance copy of the not-yet-released book, says it “paints a harrowing portrait of the Trump presidency, based on in-depth interviews with administration officials and other principals.” The book does not, I am pretty darned sure, psychoanalyze Trump.
Nevertheless, Loudon touted her superior psychological insight into Trump – without refuting any fact reported by Woodward:
LOUDON: Woodward doesn’t know the president. I don’t know how many graduate courses he’s taken in psychology … I know his family and I know the people around him. I’ve seen him relaxing … I’ve seen him in the White House and you know him. You know how focused he is, how much he’s enjoying his job … and how unaffected he is by them.
Watch Loudon’s crackpot assertions below, from the September 5, 2018 Hannity.
- Or is she simply promoting her book ?
Though the most hilarious thing is a Trumpster trying to make the argument a president with clinical narcissism is in America’s best interest. Typically real psychologists don’t promote mental illness as a good thing.
Last time I checked scientific inquiry is unbiased and evidence based. This woman crawled out of Trump’s ass to show up on “Hannity”.
If anyone needs to be examine it’s Crazy, Crooked Corrupted Dictator Trumpy.
Hannie Pie’s Trump world is falling apart before his eyes, and he can’t stop it. Staffers and White House officials have gone against that lunatic in the White House.
The Stop Hannity Express says Pie will suffer a major meltdown when another gem hits the streets. This gem is going to be huge. We say HUGE! And he can’t stop it.
Pie is not out of the woods. His name will pop up very soon, and this Long Island Omen will have to answer to The Heels about his actions.
Pie’s private conversations with certain people will become public knowledge-in time. If Pie wants to know who sold him down the Hudson River, he can ask Robert Mueller, the IRS and other federal authorities.
Pie thinks the Dictator will save his skin from future legal actions. Ahahahahaha!
It’s time for the masses to call all radio talk shows, local and national, with this script. You can change it to your liking. Or, use it for your editorials.
“Thanks for taking my call. I’m very concerned about the continued, chaotic fallout that plagues this Administration. It seems people in President Trump’s inner-circle have been either charged with a crime, or about to be charged. Even if they weren’t charged with a crime, the association with these former associates is too toxic for their families and friends. Paul Manafort’s daughter petition a court to have her last name changed to protect her financial future. Frankly, I don’t blame her.
The president still has his defenders on television and radio, and speak on his behalf on these networks and at fundraising galas that invite these folks.
This is my opinion, but nonprofit organizations should stay away from anyone defending this president and his administration. It’s too toxic right now and the risks of losing donors is too great for those organizations. Again, that’s my personal opinion."
NOTE TO JILLY
Listen to your friends. Protect your future.
