'He is degrading': Trump biographer explains how he thinks ex-president's 'mind is slower'
Raw StoryDonald Trump has always been ignorant and irrational, but over the last few years, it's clear that he is slowing down and becoming less coherent, according to the former president's own biographer. Tim O'Brien, who spent massive amounts of time with Trump before writing TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to discuss Trump's recently reported "exhaustion." Later in the interview, O'Brien talks about Trump's "bonkers political strategy" of continuing to play to his base. "And every time he has an opportunity to do it, whether he's debating Kamala Harris or talking to someone on the stage in Chicago where the script should be about being rational and in command of the facts, he does not do it, in part because he's not capable, but also because he does not want to and it drives his campaign managers bonkers."
