President Donald Trump's behavior and comments have long led political opponents to question his mental health, but now the accusation that he is unhinged is coming from more than the usual liberal suspects in the past few weeks. Prominent conservative pundits − from former Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and podcaster Candace Owens − are suggesting the president is unwell.
"I really think that his mental capacity needs to be examined," Marjorie Taylor Greene said an April 15 appearance on CNN International. The former Republican congresswoman from Georgia said she's been "shocked and horrified" at the president's recent rhetoric, such as his warning that "a whole civilization will die" and Iranians will be "living in Hell" if his demands aren't met.
Jones, founder of Infowars and a longtime Trump supporter, said during a March 31 episode of his new program, "The Alex Jones Show," that GOP incumbents running for reelection need to "cut the bait" on the president before the 2026 midterm elections. "And he does babble and, you know, sound like the brain’s not doing too hot," he said.
Owens, who has spent recent years pushing racist and antisemitic tropes, referred to Trump as a "genocidal lunatic" in an April 7 post on X, echoing Democrats when she called for using the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to remove him from office. "Our Congress and military need to intervene," she said. "We are beyond madness."

Even his former "friends" are learning that basic tenet.
The Repukes in Congress are so afraid of Chump's revenge, they're even afraid of his "mean tweets," which he does often. As long as that's a possibility, they won't do shit against him.
and have made money on there leaders trope..........again they can all pound sand................they are just waiting for another jerk too arrive on the stage...................to deliver another meme of BS...................
