Rep. Schiff On Trump's Mental Stability: 'There Are Serious Issues With Our President'
Rep. Adam Schiff told CNN's Jake Tapper that there are serious issues with Trump's capabilities and with the pressures of the presidency, "may very well get worse."
On this morning's State of the Union, host Tapper asked the California congressman if Trump should get rid of any others in his circle after Steve Bannon. Schiff named Sebastian Gorka and Skeletor Stephen Miller who "aren't capable of doing the job well." Maybe Schiff has a better idea of what Gorka's job actually is than the rest of us.
Tapper then turned to the issue of Trump's mental fitness.
Tapper began, "Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Jackie Speier, tweeted, "POTUS is showing signs of erratic behavior and mental instability that placed the country in grave danger. Time to invoke the 25th amendment." That's the amendment that would allow the removal of the president. Do you agree that President Trump is mentally unstable?"
Rep. Schiff replied, "Well, I certainly think that there is an issue with the president's capability. There is some attribute of this character that makes him seemingly incapable of introspection and a broad understanding of what the country really needs."
