Donald Trump's former White House lawyer has accused the president of being 'clearly insane,' using a radio interview on Tuesday, 31 March, to link Trump's late‑night social media blasts to alleged mental decline as dementia rumours swirl around the 79‑year‑old leader in Washington. Speaking on The Jim Acosta Show, ex‑special counsel Ty Cobb said Donald Trump's early‑hours Truth Social posts show 'the level of his insanity and depravity,' adding that he believes the president is 'gone.'
The news came after months of intensified scrutiny of Trump's behaviour since the start of his second term. For context, questions over the president's health have grown louder as he approaches his 80th birthday in June, fuelled by clips of him appearing to nod off in official meetings, high‑profile verbal slips, and the sheer volume of late‑night posts in which he revisits election grievances and praises his own work ethic. None of this has been confirmed as evidence of dementia, but it has formed the backdrop for Cobb's intervention.
