Brendan Cole reports that Rep. Madeleine Dean told Speaker Johnson:
"The president is unhinged. He is unwell."
Mike Johnson replied:
"A lot of folks on your side are too, I don’t control him."
Which sounds pretty much like an admission from a leading member of Trump's administration that, yes, the man is mentally unwell and unfit….
"The silver lining is that every high-ranking officer stationed everywhere in the world now knows, without a doubt, two crucial facts they may only have suspected before Quantico:
1. Hegseth plans to bend the rules to deliver maximum 'lethality,' regardless of domestic and international law; and
2. Trump is mentally unfit to serve as Commander in Chief."

“It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that’s some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there’s some sort of internal war going on in the United States is just, frankly, inane and I’m concerned for his health.”

"Trump’s tentative grasp on reality is so obvious that Speaker Mike Johnson avoided commenting on Trump’s performance by claiming that he did not watch it. ...
Mike Johnson may not have watched Trump’s remarks in their entirety, but he saw video clips—as did most people in America."

"Trump’s political allies are so embarrassed by his deranged comments that they are denying knowledge of a major policy speech by the president to all senior leaders of the military.
Speaker Johnson’s denial is not credible. It is evidence that those around Trump recognize his mental deterioration and are attempting to conceal it—thereby highlighting the urgency of their fears."
"An anonymous US defense official mentioned the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment in an interview with The Intercept in which he expressed alarm at Trump’s stated desire to use the military against his domestic military opponents.
'This is truly disturbing,' the defense official said. 'He is clearly unwell even for Trump.'”
