2 Top Ex-Trump Officials Flag ‘Palpable’ Cognitive Decline: He’s ‘Mentally Slipping’
HuffPost
Ty Cobb and Stephanie Grisham issued their stark warnings following the president's latest rambling press briefing.
Two former members of Donald Trump’s first-term White House on Wednesday publicly raised concerns about the president’s mental acuity following his rambling press conference marking one year back in office.
Ty Cobb, who served as a White House attorney during Trump’s first term before becoming a vocal critic, told MS NOW’s Ari Melber that Trump’s cognitive decline is “palpable.”
It was echoed separately by former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who also described the president’s appearance as troubling.
Cobb suggested he didn’t think there’s now “anybody outside of the United States who believes that Trump is sane.” Melber pressed Cobb on whether he was referring to his personality traits or an actual decline.
“I think there’s been a significant decline,” Cobb replied. “He’s always been driven by narcissism. But I think the dementia and the cognitive decline are palpable, as do many experts, including many physicians.” Melber reminded viewers that Trump has not been diagnosed with a cognitive disorder.
