"Tom Lee, head of research at FSInsights: 'In the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers, and their concern is that the WH is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology - a few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.'”

"Wall Street fund managers are concerned that Trump might be clinically insane. The New Republic highlighted recent statements made from managers who think that Trump’s behavior indicates he might’ve lost his marbles."

"It’s clear that millions of Americans don’t care that Trump is ostensibly mentally unfit to be president. Neither do the leaders of his party. But if American democracy winds up surviving this existential jousting, the public should demand that measures be put in place to avoid allowing mentally unstable or cognitively unwell people to sit behind the most powerful desk in the world ever again."

"Trump seems to have little interest in doing the actual work of campaigning, instead swinging between grievance-filled rants and flat recitations of his apocalyptic worldview, trying to stay in the center of public consciousness with outrageous lies and, as he did in his suggestion that he would not debate Harris, telling people to 'stay tuned!'”

"Over the past few years, observers who have been paying attention to Trump have noted that he appeared to be sliding mentally and warned that when voters saw him again outside his Mar-a-Lago cocoon and his rallies they would be shocked. That prediction appears to have come true."

Heather Cox Richardson points to what the Harris campaign says as Trump tries to weasel out of debating Harris:
“Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own.”

"While rambling discourse and outrageously disprovable claims, interspersed with spite and vitriol, may seem nothing new to many of Trump’s supporters and critics alike, the former president appears to have been driven to new depths by suddenly finding himself running against Kamala Harris a month ago."
"While Biden’s run for re-election was largely sunk by a single disastrous televised debate before a national audience, Trump is ramping up doubts with each chaotic, disjointed speech as he campaigns around the country."
"Earlier this week, a JL Partners poll for the Daily Mail showed the number of American voters who have confidence that Trump is able to fully digest national security briefings, maintain attention in meetings and remember the names of world leaders he is talking to – and who have confidence that he will still be alive in four years – has dropped sharply since March."

Trump went on Fox News yesterday to characterize Kamala Harris as "garbage." Her campaign responds:
“After watching Fox News this morning we only have one question, is Donald Trump ok? … Trump is old and quite weird. This guy shouldn’t be president ever again."

Mark Jacob asks why corporate media are refusing to sound the alarm that Trump is increasingly unhinged, adding,
"If you normalize Trump, you’re helping your crazy uncle get the nuclear codes."
Ah, but the tax breaks!

William Kristol on Trump's Truth Social account and a WaPo report about it:
"The Washington Post has a good bird’s eye view up today: 29 posts a day. 760 posts written in all caps. Hundreds featuring direct personal insults; hundreds more boosting his election denialism."

"Compared to 'crazy,' it doesn’t take much to demonstrate competence and normalcy. And Trump is about to show the world what crazy really means as he is challenged by a strong woman who is not afraid to mock his insecurity and weaknesses."

"Donald Trump compared himself to Nelson Mandela in what has been described by the Associated Press as a “dark and at times profane speech” Monday at a Derry, New Hampshire campaign rally—where the former president even told his fans that they didn’t need to worry about voting come election day next year. … 'You don’t have to vote, don’t worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes.'”
