'Deeply Unhinged And Getting Worse': Trump Biographer Spots 'Dangerous' Pattern

Tim O’Brien also explained why the former president keeps name-dropping Hannibal Lecter.
Donald Trump biographer Tim O’Brien this week warned that the former president’s increasingly “weird” behavior is a warning sign that he doesn’t belong in the White House.
“This is the nominee of the Republican Party and he is deeply unhinged and he is getting worse,” O’Brien told MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Wednesday. “His hearing appears to be getting worse, he’s slurring his speech, and he aspires to lead the most powerful nation on the planet.”
He said it’s easy to make fun of Trump’s bizarre speeches, but added: “It’s also much more profoundly dangerous and troubling, because he’s not fit for office.”
O’Brien tried to interpret Trump’s constant references to fictional “Silence of the Lambs” serial killer Hannibal Lecter.
“Donald Trump actually thinks that migrants seeking asylum belong in insane asylums, and Hannibal Lecter was in an asylum and he can’t really separate the difference from the two,” he said. “So that’s raw ignorance.”
