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.
Hysterical imbeciles imagine problems, here's what the rest of us see
and his qualifications are...
The d@mned MSM is who looks mentally ill to me!!!!
So nothing else is sticking, time to roll out the unfounded accusation that he is insane.
Correspondent calling Trump mentally ill now that’s funny another stab at toss something out and see if it sticks more child minds on parade.
This is an article that appears in a nothing outlet and is written by a nowhere scribbler. It should not have seen the light of day.
I’ve heard this now on a couple of outlets.
Sounds like we’re back to this meme...
Absolutely amazing.
This diagnosis is coming from a highly competent and unbiased judge. < /sarcasm >
Anyone who does not buy into the viewpoint of the distinctly distorted bizarro world leftists, is by definition “crazy”.
This side of the looking glass, there is a whole different world. Uncomfortable for some, sure, but FAR more predictable and definitely much more stable.
Just typical for CNN to broadcast MORE fake news!
It is time for Harwood to check into a Nursing home.
Remember when the media insisted this no-talent ass clown would be an objective debate panelist?
John Harwood is mentally unbalanced at best, but he is also far from the sharpest knife in the drawer!!! He should be dancing in the forest with Hillary Clinton...two birds of a feather.
And what about Hillary? One could easily say the same about her.
The incompetence theory bombed, the sex predator theory bombed the traitor to Russia theory bombed so now he’s nuts.
>>>CNN has already lost 30% of their viewership<<<
Now that Anthony Bourdain is dead, they will be losing more viewers. They will be milking all the Bourdain Show Reruns for all their worth.
They had a Special on last night as a tribute to Bourdain. Of course they were gushing over him, and they made a point to go on and on about him interviewing Obama when they were taping Bourdain’s Show in Vietnam.
They never mentioned Bourdain’s DeNiro like comments regarding POTUS Trump though.
And exactly where is Harwood licensed to practice?
They already tried that one. Didn’t work
