Concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's mental fitness have intensified following remarks from his former lawyer, Ty Cobb, who suggested that Trump should resign due to signs of mental decline, including 'frontal lobe decline' and possible dementia. Cobb, who served on Trump's legal team from July 2017 to May 2018, noted that during Trump's first term, there were individuals who could challenge his extreme ideas, but in his second term, he has surrounded himself with those too afraid to push back. Cobb described Trump's behavior as dictatorial, warning that it poses a threat to U.S. democracy. The growing calls to invoke the 25th Amendment, which outlines the process for presidential removal due to incapacity, have gained traction among lawmakers, including Jamie Raskin, a prominent Democrat. Raskin emphasized that public trust in Trump's ability to govern has plummeted, citing his erratic behavior and inflammatory remarks. Some of Trump's own allies, like former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, have also criticized him, calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. In contrast, the White House has dismissed these concerns, with spokesman David Ingle asserting Trump's sharpness and energy.
