There’s really no denying that ex-President Donald Trump has been in a manic and extremely public mental meltdown for several weeks, with regard to the numerous, neverending probes, investigations, and lawsuits that continue to mount and threaten to drown him — and with this newest development, that sense of panic he’s experiencing right now is rightfully placed.
