Dr. John Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins assistant professor, warned President Donald Trump is the sickest individual he has encountered in 40 years of clinical practice, displaying extreme symptoms suggesting dementia combined with malignant narcissism and sadism.

During a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles, Dr. Gartner argued Trump is grooming the American public to accept nuclear war, driven by desires to become history's most destructive military leader.

Dr. Gartner drew comparisons between Trump and Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, illustrating his military conqueror fantasies. He also highlighted one of Trump's 2025 social media posts, when the President referenced Napoleon, "he who saves his country does not violate any law."

Gartner stated Trump's deteriorating domestic position — collapsing poll numbers, economic troubles and potential congressional losses — incentivizes him to exercise commander-in-chief power destructively.

Trump's disinhibition from dementia amplifies narcissistic and sadistic impulses, according to Gartner, who believes Trump "gets incredible gratification from destroying things and hurting people."

A law enforcement K-9 sniffed out a live explosive device inside a package at a Cleveland Homeland Security office complex.

Seven buildings at 925 Keynote Circle in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio, were evacuated Monday after the dog alerted investigators to a box containing the explosive, according to sources who spoke with the Fox 8 I-Team. No injuries were reported.

The building houses a Department of Homeland Security office among its tenants. Brooklyn Heights Fire Chief Mike Lasky told Fox 8 the package was discovered during a routine inspection.

The finding comes as DHS has documented a dramatic spike in violence against its personnel. The agency reported a 1,347% increase in assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during the first year of the Trump administration, along with an 8,000% increase in death threats.

That tension has turned deadly in the other direction, too. ICE agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens — Renee Good, 37, on Jan. 7, during an enforcement operation, and Alex Pretti, 37, on Jan. 24, during a protest against ICE raids — in Minneapolis, according to NBC News. Videos and witness accounts raised questions about the administration's accounts of both shootings.

No suspect has been named in the Cleveland incident.

The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are leading the investigation.

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) got a bit of good news on Monday as an Alaska elections official formally disqualified a candidate who had filed to run against him named Dan Sullivan.

However, the Battle of the Dans may not quite be over.

The decision, by Alaska Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher, was already signaled late last week, but came down officially on Monday with a letter to the challenger Dan Sullivan, obtained by The Alaska Landmine.

"On review of the complaints and other information in the Division's possession, I conclude that your declaration of candidacy was not properly filed with the Division because it was not filed in order to declare an actual good-faith candidacy for the office of United States Senator, but was instead filed with a purpose to confuse or mislead and to thereby compromise the ballot's fairness or neutrality," wrote Beecher.

Among the pieces of evidence to support this, Beecher wrote, is that the candidate filed to run under a variant of his name that he has never used in voting or elections before; that he filed to run under the Republican Party despite no history of affiliation with it; and that his campaign website uses a color scheme suspiciously similar to the incumbent senator's campaign website. Beecher further noted that the candidate has ties to a consultant who has supported Democratic candidates.

The matter may not be fully resolved, noted The Alaska Landmine, as "Decoy Dan could decide to take the matter to the courts."

This comes after the incumbent senator raged to Punchbowl News about what he saw as an effort to confuse voters and nefariously split the vote against him.

“He’s not in it to win it. He’s in it to rig it,” said Sullivan. “I mean, you can’t make this [expletive] up, right?”
