CNN’s Stelter: Is Trump Suffering from an Illness? Is He Fit for Office?

‘Is Trump racist?’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STELTER: "But it’s happening in media rooms as well after the stories are off, the stories been put to bed, fears and questions come out. Questions that feel out of bounds, off limits, too hot for TV. Questions like these. Is the president of the united States a racist? Is he suffering from some kind of illness? Is he fit for office? And if he’s unfit, then what? These are upsetting polarizing company that are uncomfortable to ask. But we can’t pretend like our readers have viewers aren’t asking. They are asking. This is how deep the country’s divide has become. Since President Trump’s inauguration, there’s been a lot of tiptoeing going on. His actions have been described as unpresidential, unhinged and sometimes even crazy. That word crazy can be interpreted several different ways. It gets said more in private than on TV. This sound bite was never meant to be heard on TV at all. Susan Collins was overheard saying that trump’s handling of spending was incredibly irresponsible. Jack reed responded by saying he thinks trump is crazy."
