A prominent attorney who once served on Donald Trump\u2019s legal team during his first term is now publicly raising conce:rns about the president\u2019s mental fitness, marking a sharp break from his former role.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ty Cobb, who helped lead Trump\u2019s legal response to Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, has recently warned that the president\u2019s behavior is increasingly troubling, even describing him as unstable.<\/p>\n

Cobb, who worked closely on coordinating Trump\u2019s defense during the investigation, previously defended his involvement as part of his professional duty. However, ahead of the 2020 election, he had already expressed concern, suggesting that another term under the MAGA movement could have serious consequences.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with iPaper, Cobb went further, stating that Trump\u2019s \u201cmental condition has declined significantly\u201d in his current term. Trump has pushed back against such claims, insisting that he has performed well on multiple cognitive assessments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI took three cognitive tests. I aced all of them,\u201d Trump said recently, adding, \u201cI don\u2019t think Obama could pass it.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Observers online quickly reacted, noting that boasting about passing basic cognitive screenings can raise as many questions as it answers.<\/p>\n

Cobb also argued that the situation may be worsened by the type of advisers surrounding the president. According to him, Trump is increasingly relying on a circle of loyal supporters who rarely challenge him, which he believes has made the current environment more concerning.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on Trump\u2019s behavior, Cobb pointed to recent public remarks and controversies, suggesting they differ noticeably from how the president conducted himself earlier in his time in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I\u2019m not in a position to diagnose anything,\u201d Cobb said, \u201cthe contrast with even a few years ago is clear. He was unpredictable before, but now there seems to be less restraint around him.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

He further suggested that the advisory structure around the president has shifted, describing it as more deferential than corrective. In his view, some officials may hesitate to challenge decisions or provide critical feedback.<\/p>\n

Cobb concluded by warning that such dynamics could pose risks, emphasizing the importance of open and honest counsel in positions of power, especially when decisions have wide-reaching consequences both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n
