'He's losing his s---': Trump's advisers are increasingly worried about his mental state following..
..days of erratic behaviorPresident Donald Trump's aides and confidants are increasingly worried about his mental state after days of erratic behavior and wild outbursts.
"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---."
Trump has spent the past several days fixated on his false claim that Alabama was going to be hit by Hurricane Dorian. He has also taken time to lob attacks at his perceived enemies, like the actress Debra Messing, former FBI Director James Comey, and the "LameStream media."
"He's deteriorating in plain sight," one Republican strategist who is in frequent contact with the White House told Insider on Friday.
But 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. 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."

I know things like sharpiegate can be OTT, but at the same time this shit really gets under his skin... of course it means increasingly irrational decision making an be a danger in the short term...BUT... the ever unravelling of his mental state must be of benefit for 2020

Not enough to hear "rumors" and "he said/she said" stuff from "unknown sources" - let him go completely bonkers in public*
*As far as I'm concerned, he already has - too many times! Just go back and look at ANY of his "rallies" - is that the voice of a "normal" person?
hopefully, has been doing ALL the behind the scenes work..lined up the facts for impeachment...and let holy hell break loose ...
