One of Donald Trumpโs former high-ranking appointees is now publicly speaking out on the former presidentโs severe mental instability during his tumultuous term in the White House, before warning that Trumpโs mental state has only seemed to get that much worse since his scandalous departure.
This newest admission came from Miles Taylor, Trumpโs former Homeland Security Department chief of staff, during an appearance on Deadline: White House on MSNBC this week, where Taylor didnโt hold back when it came to airing his concerns about his former boss, as Trump centers himself as the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, amid an absolute mountain of criminal indictments against him.
Speaking with MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace, Taylor said, โThe man that I interacted with years ago was very visibly unwell, was observably unstable, and he was the president of the United States then. I can only imagine whatโs happened to him since.โ
Taylor, of course, is far from the only former Trump insider or staffer to speak out against their former boss and raise serious concerns about the fate of this nation if Donald is successful in returning to the White House and all the powers it has to offer.

However, he does offer his own unique perspective on the type of individuals we can expect to see filling Donaldโs Cabinet and various White House positions, as someone who was personally appointed to his White House job by the big guy himself.
Taylor says that Trumpโs potential appointees and hires can be divided into four โscaryโ categories: the loyalists, the assassins, the replacements, and the shadow government.
The Loyalists, Miles said, would consist of Trumpโs Cabinet, who he warns Donald will appoint to these positions regardless of whether or not the Senate chooses to confirm them.
โTheyโre going to put them in any way,โ he warned, โpeople who will execute his orders no matter how bad.โ
The Assassins, as they were once described by Trump loyalist Steve Bannon, will be made up of key political appointees who will fill the positions of all the various civil servants that Trump will purge once back in office.
โThese are people who project tornado paths and try to protect the United States from terrorists,โ Taylor explained. โPolitical appointees being in those roles is very scary for me, itโs something they didnโt do in the first term, theyโre keen on doing in the second.โ
But the most terrifying of them all was what Miles referred to as the โShadow Government,โ which he says will work outside of official limits and even the law, to do Trumpโs bidding, no matter what it takes.
โWe saw this in the first term where departments like the Department of Veterans Affairs people said there were the three amigos in Mar-a-Lago that would make phone calls and tell them what to do,โ he said. โI worry in a second term, heโll have all of these outsiders that arenโt fit to take government jobs, pulling the strings.โ
Ultimately, though, Taylor said his biggest fear stems from the blatant mental deterioration weโve all begun to see in Donald Trump.
โWeโve witnessed it, we all see it as an American public,โ Taylor said. โBut I canโt imagine how unstable heโll be behind that resolute desk again.โ
