President Donald Trump is unraveling further by the day, political expert David Rothkopf argues.
Appearing on The Daily Beast Podcast, Rothkopf said that the 79-year-old presidents waning mental faculties are no secret, and that some MAGA supporters are considering jumping off the Trump train altogether.
You know, weve got lots of stories in the news about Iran and about the Supreme Court and about elections and stuff like that. And then theres the James Comey thing, Rothkopf told host Joanna Coles. But the one thing about Trump thats happening every dayand youre putting your finger on it hereis hes fading. Hes failing. Hes fading physically. Hes fading mentally. He cant handle things.
He said in an interview, Id do Iran over again. I dont think he even remembers what he did in the first place. He doesnt know how to get out of what hes doing in Iran, the political analyst continued.
