During an MSNBC panel on recent proclamations from Donald Trump that have left observers baffled, "The Weekend" co-host Jonathan Capehart expressed dismay that there is not more attention being paid to the president's state of mind.
With former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA) commenting on Trump's nonsensical tariff claims, Capehart couldn't contain himself and exclaimed, "I wrote down this note immediately: why are we not talking about his mental acuity? How?"
Co-host and former GOP speechwriter Elise Jordan offered, "The last interview he did with [NBC's] Kristen Welker, he did not look as sharp and he looked, at least at a minimum, tired. At worst case, he is not as sharp as he used to be."

Comstock then jumped in with, "I mean he's talking about how it's great that those, right the [container] ships coming over are empty, that means we're saving money, it is literally economically illiterate."
"His own people –– look at Steve Moore, Heritage Foundation, a guy who opposes tariffs has been saying to people behind the scenes, actually, he's been saying it on Fox News, this is insane," she added. "
"You can tell –– Ken Griffin who gave money, huge money to Republicans last year, including Trump, has said this has made us 20 percent poorer in a month done permanent damage to the American brand and this isn't going to be something we can turn around from now. You know, and what he [Trump] does is he burns down the house and then he comes in and says, 'Oh, the market went up.' Well, no."
A representative of the investment firm Citadel LLC, of which Griffin is CEO, clarified that he has given money to the GOP but not directly to Trump's campaign.
