That Business Insider article on Trump's mental decline...proof of how spineless "insiders" can be

"He's losing his shit," but meanwhile, let's do everything we can to make sure he gets a second term. Cowards.

'He's losing his s---': Trump's advisers are increasingly worried about his mental state following days of erratic behavior

President Donald Trump's aides and confidants are growing more and more concerned about his mental state after days of erratic behavior, wild outbursts, and bizarre fixations.

"No one knows what to expect from him anymore," one former White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations about the president, told Insider. "His mood changes from one minute to the next based on some headline or tweet, and the next thing you know his entire schedule gets tossed out the window because he's losing his s---."

One person who was close to Trump's legal team during the Russia investigation told Insider his public statements were "nothing compared to what he's like behind closed doors."

"He's like a bull seeing red," this person added. "There's just no getting through to him, and you can kiss your plans for the day goodbye because you're basically stuck looking after a 4-year-old now."

That's assuming that he'd insist on doing them, despite urging from his advisers not to.

He’d have to mature to achieve that emotional age.

I think more like 2 or 2.5 years.
