HeadlineOct 12, 2017

The magazine Vanity Fair reports some of President Trump’s closest aides and advisers say he is “unstable” and “unraveling,” and that the White House is increasingly consumed by chaos. According to the article, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon reportedly said he thinks Trump has only a 30 percent chance of finishing his first term and that the threat is the 25th Amendment—the right for Cabinet members to vote to remove the president.
