President Donald Trump\u2019s aides know that he is crazy, according to one of his most knowledgeable biographers, but they are afraid to say it.<\/p>\n

On an episode of his podcast Inside Trump\u2019s Head, Trump biographer Michael Wolff analyzed reports that the president entered a yelling match on Wednesday with the moderate Republican lawmaker, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the hostile meeting, a rare direct rebuke of the president from a Republican lawmaker, Cassidy explained to reporters that the 80-year-old president called him a \u2018lunatic\u2019 and used \u2018language \u2018that would be said on a school… playground,\u2019 reported The Daily Beast on Thursday. \u201cI stood and said, \u2018You have not told the American people what\u2019s going on. It was supposed to last four weeks, it\u2019s lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what\u2019s going on.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet Cassidy later felt compelled to perform an about-face later that same day after being confronted by Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff. When The Daily Beast\u2019s Joanna Coles asked Wolff why Republicans capitulate, the author broke it down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell… some of them are gonna get voted out, some of them\u2014they… continue to need… him,” Wolff told Coles. \u201cWe\u2019ve just gone through the primary season, and that was a threat to everyone. I mean… the Republicans\u2014and we\u2019re talking about Republicans now\u2014are dealing with this very specific Trump ecology and they really don\u2019t quite know how to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because Trump has the power to destroy Republicans who oppose him in his party\u2019s primaries, but then saddle them with baggage that potentially makes them unelectable in the general elections, they find themselves in a Catch-22.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean… let\u2019s accept this guy is crazy. Everybody knows that. But that doesn\u2019t change the reality of having to deal with him unless you invoke the 25th Amendment, which is not going to happen,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cI mean, that\u2019s another issue. How do you deal with a president who is crazy without a realistic mechanism to deal with that? I mean, this is what\u2019s going on right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mental health and other medical professionals are also raising the alarm about Trump\u2019s perceived craziness. In May, Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a psychiatrist formerly from Yale University, explained to AlterNet that Trump displays symptoms like \u201csignificant loss of self-control (disinhibition) and getting stuck on the same thoughts or actions, unable to let go or move on (perseveration), including seemingly compulsive, manic-like late-night communications\u2014e.g., 150 social media posts in one night\u2014fixation on perceived enemies, persecutory ideas, and prolonged, disproportionate attacks on specific individuals and institutions\u201d and \u201cescalating violence that threatens national and global stability. As Commander-in-Chief of our military\u2014more than 5000 nuclear warheads in inter-continental missile silos, on submarines, and in bombers around the world, are ready for launch solely upon his order, and no one now has the authority to countermand his order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee has previously predicted crises that would emerge from Trump\u2019s public mental state. Less than a week before the 2020 prediction election, she told this journalist for Salon that Trump would wage an insurrection if he lost to then-Vice President Joe Biden because of Trump\u2019s narcissistic tendencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as one once settled for adulation in lieu of love, one may settle for fear when adulation no longer seems attainable,\u201d Lee said at the time. \u201cRage attacks are common, for people are bound to fall short of expectation for such a needy personality\u2014and eventually everyone falls into this category. But when there is an all-encompassing loss, such as the loss of an election, it can trigger a rampage of destruction and reign of terror in revenge against an entire nation that has failed him.\u201d<\/p>\n
