Fox Business host Stuart Varney blasted Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump the morning after his rambling two-hour interview with billionaire Elon Musk.
"There's a rising tide of criticism of Donald Trump from his own supporters and from some of his fellow Republicans," Varney said on Tuesday morning. "It reminds me of the quiet, low-voice criticisms of President Biden's cognitive ability before he was pushed out of his re-election campaign."
"Nobody went out in public to get him to withdraw until it was obvious he couldn't win," he continued.
Varney pointed to recent columns published by The Hill and The Wall Street Journal that said Trump was struggling to control his impulses.
"The article goes through a litany of problems," Varney said of The Hill's piece. "Trump goes off on tangents, like fighting over crowd size."
"He's attacked allies like Georgia Governor Brian Kemp," he noted. "In short, The Hill says he lacks discipline. He can't deliver a coherent message."
The Fox Business host observed that a Wall Street Journal columnist accused Trump of looking like a loser.
"By my calculation, about one-third of Mr. Trump's remarks fell into three categories: false, obtuse, or lunatic," Varney said, reading from the column.
However, Varney said the "most intense" criticism of Trump was about his "language and demeanor."
"He used foul language to describe Kamala Harris," he explained. "How on earth will he win the vital women's vote when he uses words they hate?"

And Trump refused to heed calls to "knock it off," Varney asserted.
"There's no way he could be removed from the ticket," he observed. "Trump could do the job of president, but can he win? There's a growing chorus saying, he won't win if he can't stay on message, can't focus on policy, and refuses to change his language on women."
"It's now an election he has to fight to win, and he's brought this on himself," the host concluded.
