Republican Warns Trump is Becoming a 'Weekend at Bernie's' President [View all]

Even Republicans are starting to voice concerns about President Donald Trump’s mental state and physical well-being.

On Friday, former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger posted a Substack essay and video detailing his concerns regarding the president’s mental acuity. Kinzinger is also an Air National Guard veteran and works as a commentator for CNN.

“You don’t know anymore what’s an act, what’s real. But I mean, it feels like he’s even descended since the beginning of his term,” Kinzinger said in the video. “Three years left of this and that’s the question. So when he does hit a point where he’s completely out of it, would there be anybody that had the courage to do the 25th amendment? So you may ultimately end up with a Weekend at Bernie’s president.”

In recent months, Trump has demonstrated memory problems, mixing up the names of people, places, and aircraft, sharing factually inaccurate stories, and failing to recognize people he knows, including world leaders—even when they’re sitting right in front of him.

“Stephen Miller drives the crackdown on immigrants and the push to use the National Guard,” he wrote. “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is leading the assault on public health. Russell Vought is overseeing the mass firing of thousands of federal workers.”. “The truth is, what Donald Trump says matters less than what those behind him do,” he added. “And that may be the most dangerous reality of all.”
