Even Republicans are wondering what is wrong with President Trump. The president's latest antics, including his comments on guns and the recent killing of two American citizens by federal officers in Minneapolis, have even some of his own party members questioning his judgment.
At a recent Cabinet meeting, Trump praised himself and others present, chanting "one of us, one of us," a phrase often associated with cult-like behavior. The tone-deaf comments were met with crickets from the press corps, who were instead focused on more pressing issues like the shooting in Minneapolis.
The killing of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, by Border Patrol officers has left many wondering if Trump's administration is out of touch with reality. Despite the president's claims that Pretti was a "domestic terrorist," some Republican officials have begun to distance themselves from his rhetoric.
"I'm not sure what's wrong with him," said one Republican senator, who wished to remain anonymous. "He's falling apart."
The NRA has also spoken out against Trump's comments on guns, stating that all law-abiding citizens have a right to keep and bear arms. Even Stephen Miller, a close advisor to the president, has had to backpedal on his own claims about Pretti being a domestic terrorist.
Trump's willingness to blame others for problems he can't solve is also becoming a concern among some Republicans. His attacks on former President Joe Biden and radical Democrats have become increasingly personal, with the president even asking supporters if they still love him.
The situation in Minneapolis has left many wondering if Trump's administration is more interested in maintaining its own power than in solving real problems. The recent killings by federal officers have sparked calls for an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security, and some are even questioning the legitimacy of the Trump presidency itself.
As one Republican official told me, "This is a crisis of leadership."
