Joe Capitalist
Racism is a disease
Gov. Sununu (R) on Trump: "He's f----ing crazy".
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, who was the highest ranking general in the administration, about the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol:
"[He] was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies," Woodward and Costa write.
The book also cites this from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, in a call to Trump on the eve of Joe Biden's inauguration: "I don't know what's happened to you in the last two months. ... You're not the same as you were for the last four years."
If anything, the intervening months have seen Trump go deeper into his election fraud fantasies -- growing more and more disconnected from actual facts. Just last week, Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to release negative information he may have about Hunter Biden, the son of the current President.
In short: While Sununu was, ostensibly, joking, it's not really a laughing matter. There are lots and lots of Republicans -- including many who are publicly supportive of Trump -- who privately wonder about his mental state and what it means for the party going forward. We should all be worried about what it means for the country going forward.
