Former Trump Aide: Donald Was ‘Unwell’ As POTUS And Is Getting Worse

Miles Taylor served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security in the Trump administration, and he says the thought of disgraced former president Donald Trump returning to the White House terrifies him.

Speaking with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, Taylor noted, “The 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 what’s happened to him since.”

For example, Taylor explained, the potential appointees in a second Trump administration can be divided into four “scary” groups: The loyalists, the assassins, the replacements, and the shadow government.

Loyalists, Taylor continued, would be that Trump appoints to Cabinet positions, even if the Senate doesn’t confirm them.

“They’re going to put them in anyway. People who will execute his orders no matter how bad.”

The “assassins” are people who will comprise the core of political appointees who will be placed in civil service positions to do the day-to-day work of agencies such as the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency.

“These are people who project tornado paths and try to protect the United States from terrorists,” Taylor told Wallace. “Political appointees being in those roles is very scary for me, it’s something they didn’t do in the first term, they’re keen on doing in the second.”

That leaves the “shadow government” to make the biggest decisions, even though they hold no official government positions.

“We 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.”

“I worry in a second term, he’ll have all of these outsiders that aren’t fit to take government jobs, pulling the strings.”

But perhaps most terrifying of all, Taylor warned, is Trump’s continuing mental collapse since he lost in 2020 to President Joe Biden.

“We’ve witnessed it, we all see it as an American public. But I can’t imagine how unstable he’ll be behind that resolute desk again.”

A second Trump administration would be the end of the American republic. That’s why it’s so important that we all register to vote and cast a ballot against him in November.
