Carl Bernstein: This is the Trump story reporters need to cover
by Jackie Wattles @jackiewattles August 20, 2017: 7:44 PM ET


Is President Trump stable and competent enough to do his job?

Investigative reporter and CNN contributor Carl Bernstein says reporters must be asking those questions.

"Republicans in Congress, the highest of intelligence officials, the highest of military officers in our country, leaders of the business community -- all of whom have dealt with the White House, and many of them dealt personally with Donald Trump -- have come to believe that he is unfit for the presidency," Bernstein told CNN's Brian Stelter on Sunday.

He said those people are "raising the very question of his stability and his mental fitness."

"Maybe what I'm being told is not as pervasive as I believe it is. Let's find out," Bernstein added. "We need as journalists to make this our primary function right now."

Stelter said on CNN's "Reliable Sources" that Trump's "actions and inactions in the wake of Charlottesville are provoking some uncomfortable conversations."

The questions, he said, include these: "Is the president of the United States a racist? Is he suffering from some kind of illness? Is he fit for office? And if he's unfit -- then what?"

1. Of course Trump is crazy and we have all known that for years because ...

.... how could anybody make themselves up like Trump does and then look in the
mirror and think, "that's a good look."

[Gothmog]

2. Trump is neither stable not competent

[Angry Dragon]

3. any one that has to surround themselves with that much gold is unfit for anything

[Mike Nelson]

4. Well.. duh...

...his lack of fitness and raging bigotry have not been state secrets.

[Louis1895]

5. The photos of him staring at the sun today...

...provide strong evidence of his mental state and IT IS NOT GOOD!

It is clearly time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

6. He is absolutely not fit for office.

I don't understand the silence on BOTH sides of the aisle.

Some have spoken up, but not nearly enough.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I saw him say this and agree 100%.

He already calls them shit all the time so what does the fake news have to lose? Nothing!

[Mr. Ected]

8. We can all agree, unequivocally, that Trump is nucking futs

But it isn't going to happen, even if it's true. Besides, imagine the propaganda they would spin when the next Democrat occupies the Oval Office. It's mind-numbing, actually.

The man needs to go down in a court or courts of law. Presentation of evidence of multiple felonies followed by a legal finding of his guilt. That's provable. We have statutes and precedent. "Fitness" is too vague a concept to be adjudicated adequately by the Congress.

11. You're right, objective evidence is needed, not "subjective"

WE GOTS US SOME PUZZLING EVIDENCE !!

[AlexSFCA]

9. Trump is unfit for ANYTHING

[Frustratedlady]

10. He has no one to blame but himself. Not only is he incompetent and dangerous as POTUS,

he is inept at representing the citizens of the U.S. to the world. The world is laughing at us and that is embarrassing.
