I heard Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC earlier today say this and my jaw dropped. I just found an article with the video so I thought I'd share.
Republicans Close To Trump Say President Is Showing Signs Of Mental Illness
By Jason Easley on Mon, Mar 20th, 2017 at 2:18 pm
Republican strategist and MSNBC contributor Nicolle Wallace said that people outside of the administration who have spent time with Trump said that the president is showing signs of paranoia and delusion over his belief that Obama wiretapped him.
Wallace said, I sense that they have no plans today of walking away from this claim. This is still the presidents belief. Some folks still close to the president, but not on the White House staff said its a word I cant say on family-friendly TV, but the initials are B and S. Another person who spent time with the president this weekend in Florida said it was signs of paranoia and delusion around this idea that hes so right. Interestingly, he has sought to have people outside the government corroborate this wiretapping claim, which either suggests this observation of paranoia and delusion is in fact operation or extreme ignorance of all the powers at his disposal and all the investigative powers of the federal government.
These are Republicans close to Trump who claimed that the President Of The United States is paranoid, delusional, and believes that Obama wiretapped him. Wallaces comments on MSNBC were a statement that the President might be mentally ill.
Before anyone asks, the constitutional standard for the removal of a president contains no discussion of mental fitness. It would be difficult to nearly impossible to remove Trump from office due to mental illness. It would have to be demonstrated that Trump is physically unable to perform the job of president.
