Columnist says Trump’s aides exploit his 'mental vacancy' amid erratic foreign policy
A prominent political columnist sparked alarm Monday by arguing that recent behavior from President Donald Trump shows parts of his brain “just aren’t working anymore,” with aides and allies exploiting what he described as a growing “mental vacancy” to push extreme agendas. On The Daily Beast Podcast, the columnist pointed to Trump’s unauthorized attack on Venezuela, saber-rattling over Greenland, an unprecedented investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and bizarre social posts claiming he’s Venezuela’s leader as signs of accelerating decline. The remarks amplify ongoing concerns about Trump’s cognitive state as he navigates increasingly erratic executive actions that critics say are destabilizing U.S. foreign policy and governance.
