And here's the thing: Milley wasn't the only person who noticed a change in Trump's behavior in the wake of the election. According to Woodward and Costa, McCarthy told Trump, 'I don't know what's happened to you in the last two months. And, at least in the case of Milley, believed that Trump's mental health had declined to the point where he needed to intercede with China so that a war didn't get started by an unhinged Trump. Because it's not as though Trump has been the picture of consistency and normal mental behavior for the bulk of his first term. This is not, then, a story about the mental health concerns about a former President.
