Right there we know we don't need to read that book.Loudon, Republican commentator and author, recently wrote a book called “Mad Politics: Keeping Your Sanity in a World Gone Crazy,” which claims to use science and psychological theory to explain why Trump is the “most sound-minded” president, The Daily Beast reported Thursday.
The Hill
How nice.The jacket of her new book states that she has two masters’ degrees “as well as a Ph.D in psychology.”
[...]
She has a Ph.D in “human and organization systems” from an online school called Fielding Graduate University.
The course is not a psychology degree nor does it provide Loudon with a license to practice psychology.
[...]
The publishing company, Regnery, told the outlet that they were responsible for the misleading statements on the book jacket, including referring to Loudon as “America’s favorite psychological expert.”
“The jacket copy was written by Regnery, not Gina,” Alyssa Cordova, senior director of publicity at Regnery Publishing, said in an email to The Daily Beast. “As Human and Organizational Systems is a field of psychology, we simplified that simply as ‘psychology.’ We will be updating with the specific degree description on future printings and online marketing copy to avoid further confusion.”
Actually, what Gina is, is...
"Literally." I don't think he knows what that word means.Loudon is a member of Trump’s 2020 campaign Media Advisory Board and a frequent Trump surrogate on national television.
[...]
"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,” she said.
“Literally, liberals’ heads are going to explode at what you said,” Hannity responded.
Surprised?Hannity wrote the foreword for Loudon’s book.
Are we supposed to believe that Trump actually took a Myers-Briggs test and she has the results??? Because, if not (and I'm sure it's "not"), she has no business essentially taking it for him and then proclaiming the results as his. Some "doctor" she turns out to be.[Loudon] concludes that Trump’s Myers-Briggs type is ENTJ and points to a description on Personalities.com that dubs this combination “the commander.”
“The ENTJ has mad presidential skills!” she enthuses.
The Daily Beast
Oh, wait: she actually admits she doesn't have any such thing:
LOL. Well there's a surprise.“Though I have spoken with the president socially, I have never had any sort of clinical access to him, nor have I had any access to any inventories he may have taken, nor have I ever interviewed him in a clinical capacity. In fact, I don’t even do clinical work. I am a researcher and I have done counseling, but I only do so far [sic] charities today."
[...]
Loudon earned her bachelor’s degree at William Woods University. She attended Saint Louis University from 1992 to 1997 and received a Master of Arts in Education in January 1998, a spokeswoman for Saint Louis University said.
On her website, Loudon claims her master’s was taken away due to unspecified “political reasons,” then reinstated. Saint Louis University said it could not comment further without her permission.
[...]
Asked whether Loudon saw and signed off on the jacket copy before publication, as is customary in publishing, [Regnery] did not respond.
[...]
The text on the front flap refers to her as “America’s favorite psychological expert,” and one of the blurbs inside gushes that she “has the depth of a credentialed psychoanalyst.”
Inside the book, Loudon—a member of Trump’s 2020 campaign Media Advisory Board—admits she does not have clinical training. “My gut instincts, which have nothing to do with my professional training, are pretty solid,” she writes.
[...]
Many have called Trump a narcissist, but Loudon says that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
“The term ‘narcissism’ is overused and under-defined,” she writes, adding that a test she took in graduate school put her on the narcissist spectrum.
Be best.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
