Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Report: Trump’s Aides Call Him “Unstable,” as Bannon Predicts He Won’t Last Full Term

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. When Bannon mentioned the 25th Amendment to Trump, the president reportedly said, “What’s that?” Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports one of Trump’s closest friends, Tom Barrack, says he’s shocked by Trump’s behavior.
