Is President Trump stable and competent enough to do his job?
Investigative reporter and CNN contributor Carl Bernstein says reporters must be asking those questions.
He said those people are "raising the very question of his stability and his mental fitness."
"Maybe what I'm being told is not as pervasive as I believe it is. Let's find out," Bernstein added. "We need as journalists to make this our primary function right now."
Stelter said on CNN's "Reliable Sources" that Trump's "actions and inactions in the wake of Charlottesville are provoking some uncomfortable conversations."
The questions, he said, include these: "Is the president of the United States a racist? Is he suffering from some kind of illness? Is he fit for office? And if he's unfit -- then what?"

(9,670 posts)But it isn't going to happen, even if it's true. Besides, imagine the propaganda they would spin when the next Democrat occupies the Oval Office. It's mind-numbing, actually.
The man needs to go down in a court or courts of law. Presentation of evidence of multiple felonies followed by a legal finding of his guilt. That's provable. We have statutes and precedent. "Fitness" is too vague a concept to be adjudicated adequately by the Congress.
