Why is "unfair" in quotation marks? Does the author dispute it? The numbers speak for themselves. This is not rocket science here, fake-news boy.

Donald Trump looks and talks like a person who is mentally ill, says CNBC correspondent John Harwood, and others at the network are also questioning the president’s sanity, Mediaite is reporting.
Trump’s behavior at the G7 summit, during which he’s railed against “unfair” trade practices with America’s closest allies, suggested allowing Russia back into the fold, threatening retaliatory tariffs, and criticized presidents going back to the Eisenhower administration, has been described as “harsh” even by Fox News. But for Harwood and his CNBC colleagues, it’s more concerning than that.
Speaking to MSNBC’s AM Joy on Saturday, Harwood brought up Trump’s behavior at the summit.
“He did not look well to me in that press conference. He was not speaking logically or rationally. There was something about his affect which was oddly kind of languid from him. I don’t know what it means, but he did not look well to me.”
Harwood’s concerns were echoed by his colleagues. MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance compared him to a monarch who’s lost touch with reality.
“He came off like Mad King Donald.”
“If you were talking to me this morning the way we just heard Donald Trump talk, I would ask you if you’d taken any medication, advise you not to operate any heavy machinery.”
Disregarding Trump’s mental health, there’s little doubt that the president has been, at the very least, inconsistent at the G7 summit. After complaining at length about trade imbalances and threatening to cut off trade with even the U.S.’ closest allies, Trump then made what Business Insider describes as a “stunning reversal,” stating that there should be no tariffs and no barriers to trade at all. This comes a week after Trump imposed harsh tariffs against U.S. allies, including Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
This is not the first time Trump’s mental health has come up in conversation. Back in April, as Vanity Fair reported at the time, Trump advisers, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that they were concerned with the president’s mental health.
In particular, they were worried about what Trump might say or do during a five-day vacation at Mar-a-Lago with nothing on his schedule, in advance of a summit with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
Similarly, as Fox News reports, Trump’s personal physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, endured a barrage of questions about the president’s mental health. Jackson tried to ease concerns by pointing out that the president had scored perfectly on a cognitive test that included being told to draw a clock.
Liberals don’t like Trump’s unorthodox approach to statecraft.
But doesn’t make him mentally ill.
He knows what he’s doing and liberals just don’t like what he’s doing.
I bet John Harwood supports Robert DeNiro

But the coughing, seizure-ridden Hillary looked and acted PERFECTLY fine, eh John??
“He was languid and mad at the same time!”
He’s bilanguil.
Trump possesses laserlike focus. The nattering nabobs are all touchy-feely, nebulous and nuanced (i.e., mentally mushy). So, yeah, to the mentally mushy, someone as focused as Trump might look insane.
They hate him because he is sane.
“next move”
..they sent up this trial balloon a while back. They are just relaunching it hoping it wont explode this time.
Other than with the TDS crowd this crap isnt going anywhere.
It should be pointed out to those companies paying huge money to air commercials on the “FAKE NEWS” networks that their money is being flushed down the toilet.
The networks do lose hundreds of thousands of viewers, and quietly the ADVERTISERS lose the potential business of hundreds of thousands of BUYERS.
Since we (I) don’t even know who you are, you are shut out of our world. Best of luck, NOT!!
John, you must be looking at a mirror.
Harwood is so original. Nobody has ever said this before. [s]
It’s unfair to call out he incompetence of the establishment, that’s what’s unfair to them.
Don't forget screeching and cackling and lead-balloon joke-cracking.
Campaign collusion: Is CNBC’s John Harwood too close to the Clinton operation?
SNORT.
They are not used to seeing a POTUS actually act like a man rather than a Pajama Boy..........................
Another lefty projecting.
Never take advise from those who bet on Hillary to win. Bwahahahahahahahaha.
Is this the same clown that opened up the 2012 GOP Debate by asking Newt about his request for an “open marriage” with his ex-wife? Newt ripped him a new one. Or another clown from the left?
Very funny!
Excellent!.............A++++!..............
I’m at the edge with these bedwetters
