Trump's 'erratic' behavior in 2025 often raised 'questions about his mental performance'

When President Donald Trump angrily attacked and ridiculed actor/director Rob Reiner right after his murder, the dominant reaction was outrage. USA Today columnist Rex Huppke, for example, argued that Trump reached a "new low" following a "decade of Trumpian loathsomeness." And some of Trump's critics described Trump's comments as evidence of his poor mental health.

Psychologist Mary Trump, the president's niece and a scathing critic of his politics, often argues that his behavior underscores his mental health issues.
