Bizarre new behavior from President Donald Trump has planted fresh new worries among White House insiders, according to a report Thursday.
Some who described changes to Salon’s Brian Karem are concerned that Trump is quickly losing ability to put in the hours needed for his position — and that his mental acuity has taken a significant downturn.
“Maybe Trump has fallen off a mental cliff,” wrote Karem, adding “even some in his administration [are] worried about his physical and mental health.”
Among warning flags are the fact that the president has apparently stopped working on Mondays. The information came from a White House source who told Karem, “I’d lose my job if I talked about this publicly. Or worse.”
He confided that Trump hasn’t shown up in the Oval Office on a Monday for the past month. He’s also been playing golf in Virginia, avoiding his usual trips to his clubs in Florida and New Jersey.
“That’s because he doesn’t have to be gone from the White House as long,” the source told Karem. “I don’t think he’s in good physical health.”
Other causes for concern voiced to the writer by two people inside Trump’s circle included, “His recent lackluster public appearances, his gait, his apparent befuddlement, his propensity to govern via Truth Social postings, his sloppy attire and his lack of engagement at the White House with others.”
“His sanity looks long gone,” Karem surmised. “And that doesn’t bode well for the country since there’s absolutely no chance the sycophants in his cabinet will invoke the 25th Amendment.”
