Overview
- The New York Times, which published Peter Baker’s feature Monday, described the president as “less restrained and more incoherent at times.”
- The piece compiled worries from Democrats, retired generals, diplomats, Republicans, and onetime allies, citing disjointed and sometimes profane remarks.
- Trump responded Monday evening on Truth Social, calling the paper “FAKE NEWS,” railing at its Iran coverage, and posting, “HAVE THEY NO SHAME?”
- Following posts that attacked the Pope and showed a now-deleted image of himself as Jesus, he told reporters he had nothing to apologize for.
- At least 87 House Democrats urged a 25th Amendment review and Rep. Jamie Raskin sought a cognitive exam, a process that would require the vice president and cabinet to declare the president unable to serve.
