On this week’s episode of the Signal we welcome back Bucks County’s Steve Nolan. Steve spent 30 years in the military and 25 years as a mental health professional. He is the author of the 2020 book American Carnage, An Officer’s Duty to Warn, and today Steve is here to warn us again about why Trump, who checks the boxes for Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder, is mentally unfit for the presidency, or even to be a private in the military.

Steve has published in numerous journals and his poetry was featured on National Public Radio, Morning Edition, upon his return from Afghanistan in 2007. He is also the author of the books Go Deep, and Base Camp.
