How Trump Is Exposing His Own Psychotic State: Biographer

President Donald Trump’s off-the-rails social media posts in the dead of night indicate the need for “an intervention,” his biographer says.

Michael Wolff, the author of four books about the president, said on the Daily Beast’s Inside Trump’s Head Podcastthat the often sleep-deprived 79-year-old’s posts are detached from reality. On Monday night, for instance, he reposted a call for the arrest of “traitor” Barack Obama in one of the 54 posts that came from his Truth Social account between 10:14 p.m. and 11:28 p.m.

“Right now, you can look this up and find the president of the United States saying things—regularly saying things, continuously saying things—that are out of control, bizarre, unhinged, irrational, that have in every possible way departed reality,” Wolff told co-host Hugh Dougherty. “How do you react to that? Nobody actually has quite reacted to this. There are no headlines in The New York Times that say, ‘The president of the United States has flipped his lid,’ which in any reasonable, fair-minded reading of what he posts on social media... that’s the conclusion that you would come to.”
