(CNN) Here's a fact you may have missed amid all of the coverage of the allegations and revelations in the new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa: The top general in the country believed that President Donald Trump was in significant enough mental decline that he took countermeasures to ensure Trump didn't start a war with China on his way out the door.
Yes, that actually happened, according to "Peril." Here's the relevant passage: "Woodward and Costa write that [Joint Chief Chairman Mark] Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, '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.'
"Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write. "'You never know what a president's trigger point is,' Milley told his senior staff," according to the book. Think about that for a minute. Milley, the top military adviser to the president, a man who undoubtedly spent considerable time with Trump in this period of time, believed that he was in "serious mental decline" triggered by his election loss.
And here's the thing: Milley wasn't the only person who noticed a change in Trump's behavior in the wake of the election. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a loyal ally of the President, felt the same way. Again, the Woodward/Costa book sheds light here: "The book details a private call McCarthy had with Trump the night before Biden's inauguration. According to Woodward and Costa, McCarthy told Trump, '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.'

Trump is the most sane person on the planet.
So, you want a Milk Toast; in the WH. You need someone to get up in the morning and kick someone’s butt.
CNN is ATT — telecom
Why would anyone take anything CNN says seriously?
Mental issues? CNN broadcasts Biden obvious case of dementia without a work about it.
Trump’s a civilian yet he’s mental health is an issue.
Dumb dumb Slo Joe is the POTUS (illegitimate yes) yet his general health is not.
OK, got it....
CNN never has mentioned about these

Nothing wrong with Trump. What’s wrong with DC., the Democrats, the country club Republicans, senile crooked Joe, and the MSM would fill a library.
Amazes me. We all know biden has no clue where he is and they are gonna cast doubt on Trump now.
Sure wish Cyber Ninjas would hurry up.
These stories are just never ending bullshit. Don’t believe any of it
The rogue character in all this was Miley; he was playing the Dim narrative, vis-a-vis Trump, not dealing with reality.
Now they have a guy in the position that has a hard time remembering which ice crème flavor he selected and which pre-teen girl he wants to squeeze. They must be so proud of themselves.
Milley is not really the top general. And his misbehavior is not evidence of anyone else’s instability.
Told ya so!
Projection as diversion.
What about Biden’s mental health?
Look here...don’t look there.
That’s exactly right. I would like to know what particular battle action the parade general Miley participated in with troops on the ground. Explain those medals for us all. Did he ever once come under fire? just curious
The double standards of these biased lies is beyond disgusting and antiAmerican.
If Milley sees no mental decline in Biden, I have to question his sanity...
Translation: The media has run out of ammunition.
Cillizza is the anal wort of journalism.
