Trump Is Fading and His Staff Knows It: Political Guru [View all]

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 president’s waning mental faculties are no secret, and that some MAGA supporters are considering jumping off the Trump train altogether.

“You know, we’ve got lots of stories in the news about Iran and about the Supreme Court and about elections and stuff like that. And then there’s the James Comey thing,” Rothkopf told host Joanna Coles. “But the one thing about Trump that’s happening every day—and you’re putting your finger on it here—is he’s fading. He’s failing. He’s fading physically. He’s fading mentally. He can’t handle things.”

“He said in an interview, ‘I’d do Iran over again.’ I don’t think he even remembers what he did in the first place. He doesn’t know how to get out of what he’s doing in Iran,” the political analyst continued.
