Subject: President Trump and Nuclear Weapons ✤ Please don’t Read if Psychology and Politics Disturbs You

While Chiron Publication’s primary focus continues to be publishing cutting edge Jungian authors, we have at times explored political themes and social issues of great concern. While most readers have been appreciative of Chiron’s role in this, we understand some see it differently. Please discard this announcement and accept our apologies if you are the latter.

Sunday morning, on the eve of the summit with North Korea, Chiron was able to release its latest book looking at the command and control of nuclear weapons and how the psychological state of the current (or any future) president might put the world’s safety in jeopardy.
Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the Mind of Donald Trump

Will President Trump destroy civilization or win the Nobel Peace Prize? Humankind’s survival feels like a jump ball that could go either way. We are perched on a precipice, and the reason we are looking into an abyss of nuclear annihilation is that the American president has unencumbered, unilateral control over the nuclear codes. One thing we know for sure is that the mind of Donald Trump is currently in control of our fate. Never before have the nuclear codes been in the hands of a man who many observers view as unstable and erratic. The twenty-four experts who contributed to this book analyze President Trump’s behavior hoping to provide insights into what may be the most urgent question of our time. What will Trump do with his “big button?”
