Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) suggested Sunday that he thought President Trump was suffering from poor mental health and claimed some of his Republican colleagues felt the same way.
When asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if it was true that Republican colleagues of his in the Senate had “expressed concerns about President Trump’s mental health,” Franken confirmed they had.
“A few,” Franken said. “It’s not the majority of them, it’s a few.”
“We all have this suspicion that he … that he lies a lot, that he says things that aren’t true,” Franken, the former “Saturday Night Live” star-turned politician, said, referring to Trump’s debunked voter fraud claims.
“That is not the norm for a President of the United States, or actually for a human being,” he said.
While several politicians have questioned Trump’s “fitness” for the presidency, no one in the Senate or House has explicitly expressed concerns about his mental health.
Mental health professionals, on the other hand, have all but confirmed they think Trump is ill.
Several told the Daily News last month that they feared Trump’s hubris, narcissism, defensiveness, belief in untrue things, conspiratorial reflexiveness and attacks on opponents, and suggested they could lead to serious consequences for the nation.
A top psychotherapist formerly affiliated with the esteemed Johns Hopkins University Medical School even wrote a report saying Trump “is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president.”
That expert, John D. Gartner, went on to diagnose Trump with “malignant narcissism.”
