Donald Trump Looks And Acts Mentally Ill, Says CNBC Correspondent John Harwood

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.

So, I take it this Harwood has an M.D. in psychiatry, since he’s putting this stuff out there on a public channel?

[Reno89519]

This whole line of criticism is getting very old. But, I guess someone is easily dismissed as mentally ill if they disagree with you or your group think. Soviets mastered this quite well, now our media and Democrats are adopting it as well. Maybe they should skip ahead in their history lessons to see the outcome?

[txrefugee]

Crazy like a fox. The President pointed out that our “friends” & China have been shafting the U.S. in their trade agreements to the tune of half a trillion dollars a year. That should be hard to ignore, the dopey Ryan and McConnell not withstanding.

Honestly, John Harwood should be ashamed of this bizarre report. He’s the one who comes off as a nutcase, beset with a flaming case of TDS.

” FWIW, he may be nuts, but he comes across as significantly more sane than the woman he beat in 2016.”

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

When the liberals don't have an argument to go with, which they rarely have, they fall back on ad hominem attacks against their adversary.

Of course, their original argument against Trump was the only way he got elected was by colluding with the Ruskies. It was a false narrative made up by them to make excuses for why their queen didn't run away with the election.

Well, we now know that the Russian collusion investigation has gone nowhere (absolutely no evidence has surfaced that the collusion scheme was true), so they are into the name-calling phase of their attacks on Trump.

Must have taken some real good journalism skills on Harwood's part to just so casually say that he thought Trump doesn't look well, and, oh, by the way, he "looks" mentally ill. Is that a medical diagnosis or a journalistic observation?

If "looking" and "sounding" mentally ill were the criteria for actually being mentally ill, then the entire democRAT party and liberal media would be mentally ill by default.

That's the hard-hitting reporting we expect from the sinking CNN.

[TheConservator]

Liberal media, and especially John Harwood, look and act mentally ill, says Freeper TheConservator!

[agave]

All well and good, but Harwood works for CNBC and was appearing on an MSNBC program. Just sayin’.

Many if not most of CNN's talking heads are insane and zero talented.

CNN Lost 35% of Primetime Audience Last Week as Fox News Grew... breitbart ^ | 5/23/2018 | John Nolt Posted on 5/24/2018, 6:39:13 AM by caww

After years of misleading its audience with fake news, 35 percent of CNN’s primetime audience up and left ...While Fox News is growing, the openly left-wing MSNBC is also shrinking, but nowhere nearly as much as CNN. Fox grabbed an astonishing average of 2.4 million viewers.

CNN could not even hold a million total primetime viewers and bottomed out with an average of just 937,000.

We don't need to see nor read anything from CNN when they employ the maggot infected mediots shown below as their premier Fake News bozos!

Why would any normal and sane person believe any fake news from CNN. Just look at CNN's top Fake News’s maggot/mediots.

Rachael Madkow and Susan Mikula dating since 1999 but still not in a hurry to get married!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepping out on a Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

They have nothing new. Only can revert to their pathetic playbook. Keep trying idiots! It’s sure to work this time LOL!

[MichaelCorleone]

“CNN has already lost 30% of their viewership.”

C’mon, man! You can’t get 30% of zero...

[uncbob]

What would they characterize De Niro’s performance as indicative of

[John S Mosby]

A dullard demorat machine journalist with no brightness capacity in his own mind (clearly) sees Trump’s energy, and belief in what is right for the People of the USA— as mental illness.

Much as a useless incompetent teacher in a school sees a very bright child wasting time and moving past the teacher’s lessons in brightness.... as a threat. As a “management” issue to be dealt with by medication (Adderall, Ritalin) because the student is brighter than the teacher, whose task is to dumb them down. As opposed to genuine child mental health issues brought on by the narcissistic, idiotic world of media and evil peers.

This “mental illness” crap was tried before— they have to return to the playbook. Remember— it was first— Jill Stein money bankrolling electoral challenges in the exact states, hitlery thought she should have won. Then it was “get to the Electors, and try to get them to change their state mandated results Electoral College duty”. Then it was “he’s mental, 25th Amendment” concomitantly by end of December 2016— “The Russian” interference..... and the obamaumao created FISA abuse and surveillance of his transition team, and his campaign from over a year prior.

This is HOW they roll. Devious Marxist/Stalinist/Alinsky tactics and through their media apparatchiks.

[Magnum44]

Russia meme fails yet again so its back to the mentally ill meme...

[Retvet]

Who cares what “Counterfeit News Blowers Corporation” has to say?

[morphing libertarian]

CNBC should review Trumps meds and let us know when it’s safe to let him out again.

[albie]

As the saying goes...” crazy like a fox”.

[windsorknot]

So, I take it this Harwood has an M.D. in psychiatry

A degree in journalism is all that’s necessary to be an expert in everything.

[NormsRevenge]

Sounds like the media suffers from jet lag. They should have gone there a few days early to acclimatize for this historic event.

Ok Mr Harwood, ya wanna play armchair neurologist and or shrink do ya, lets look at the House and Senate...

* McCain? Many of us noted months before his diagnosis, that something wasn't right, so I am not afraid to talk about "our" side of the isle.
* How about Maxine, and her stuttering and Anger? And while we are at it, What about Pelosi her stuttering and loss of train of thought? For those of us that have watch loved ones decline, do you know what that reminds us of?
* And what about Candidate Clinton, and her falling back like a sack of potatoes and the weird facial expressions at the balloon drop @ the convention, and now her clothing hiding something, and all her slips and falls as of late? What is really going on here Mr H, or are we hearing or seeing no evil here?

[Bob434]

un-be-friggin real- can you imagine the outrage o nthe left if just a smidgen of the crap said about Donald Trump were said about obama?
