With guest host Ray Suarez.

A new book has led to growing speculation about President Trump’s mental and emotional well-being. He strikes back, saying he's a "very stable genius." We'll take a deep dive.

The Atlantic: Is Something Neurologically Wrong With Donald Trump? -- "Trump’s grandiosity and impulsivity has made him a constant subject of speculation among those concerned with his mental health. But after more than a year of talking to doctors and researchers about whether and how the cognitive sciences could offer a lens to explain Trump’s behavior, I’ve come to believe there should be a role for professional evaluation beyond speculating from afar."

Bloomberg: Trump Says He's A 'Stable Genius' -- "Donald Trump said he’s a “very stable genius,” a day after a new book about the president’s first year in the White House — dismissed by Trump as “fiction” — claimed that many of his top aides and confidants consider him unfit to hold office."

From author Michael Wolff and more than two dozen psychiatrists comes the opinion that President Donald Trump is not a political novelty, not re-writing the norms of American politics or the presidency…but possibly, something else: Mentally unfit to serve in the highest office in the land.
