Donald Trump's fitness for office is facing fresh scrutiny in Washington after a former senior Republican operative claimed the 78-year-old president is now 'too mentally feeble' to do the job and is being heavily influenced by a 'crazy, stalker‑ish' aide inside the West Wing.

Cheri Jacobus, a former Republican National Committee spokesperson who later became a prominent Trump critic, used her Tuesday YouTube show, to allege that executive assistant Natalie Harp has effectively become a gatekeeper for what the president sees, thinks and ultimately posts online. Harp, 34, has worked for Trump since 2022 and stepped into the powerful executive assistant role when he returned to the White House in January 2025.
