Senator Thinks Trump Is Literally 'Insane': 'He Is a Madman' [View all]

(snip)

Asked on Anderson Cooper 360 whether there was any hope for European leaders to “de-escalate” and “reason with the president” over his repeated threats to annex Greenland, Gallego said, “No, and I’ve been very clear. He is a madman. He is insane. He’s only thinking about himself.”

“You really think he’s insane?” pressed Cooper.

“Yes! I’m sorry, where are we at this moment where we don’t understand what’s happening in this country?” Gallego responded. “The man is threatening war against a NATO ally and we’re all thinking this is rational. Let’s accept what’s happening here. He is not rational right now. He is destroying our world reputation, potentially our economic opportunity, economic mighty power around the world because he is being petty.”

He argued, “None of this is rational. Everyone needs to stop pretending this is rational.”
