The stability of the American presidency is facing intense scrutiny as Donald Trump's recent conduct has triggered a wave of concern from both sides of the political aisle. A series of volatile public statements, ranging from feuds with the Vatican to threats of international warfare, has left observers questioning the fitness of the current commander-in-chief, with more than 80 Democratic lawmakers formally calling for his removal under the 25th Amendment.
Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent currently covering his sixth presidency, has highlighted a marked shift in Trump's behaviour, reporting that former allies and advisers have described his recent conduct, including threats against Iran and attacks on the Pope, as 'lunatic' and 'clearly insane', according to Baker.
