Donald Trump’s behavior, in the latest phase of the war in Iran, has led to a lot of renewed speculation about the president’s mental state. Among those piling on is James Carville, the longtime Democratic strategist and media figure who is best known for masterminding Bill Clinton’s winning campaign for president in 1992.
