Carl Bernstein: Republicans are openly discussing Trump's 'emotional maturity, stability'

Veteran Beltway journalist Carl Bernstein told CNN Wednesday that discussions in Washington this week have been, "unlike anything I have seen in 50 years as a reporter." Adam Withnall writes:

“I am hearing from Republicans, and other reporters are as well, that there is open discussion by members of the President of the United States’ own party about his emotional maturity, stability,” he said.

“People are saying that his psyche is driving the news cycle.

“We are in uncharted territory here and we ought to talk to some of our colleagues about what they are hearing. [I think it’s a really fruitful area because] I’ve never heard [people] talking about a president… the way this subtext is now a talking point.”

Donald Trump's mental (in)stability is absolutely driving the news cycle, just the way it did during the campaign. Then it seemed freakish, bizarre, at times amusing (among many other adjectives). Now it's just downright dangerous. Every day is another day in, OMG, Can you believe he just did that and he's "leading" our country? As Bernstein said of Trump’s twisted 3-5 million fraudulent voters claim:

“Something very disturbing is going on here. I talked about the tweets being an MRI of his psyche. These remarks are likewise an MRI of his psyche, and it’s not a very pretty place.”
