House Democrat: I don't think Trump is 'competent'

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday he doesn’t think President Trump is “competent” in an interview on Fox News.

“I don’t think he’s competent, Will, I don’t know what to tell you on whether his cognitive abilities are sufficient to get past the 25th Amendment,” Goldman said on the "The Will Cain Show.”

“You know, we don’t know that right now, but I think what is clear is that he has driven our country into a disastrous economy,” the New York Democrat added in an appearance highlighted by Mediaite.  “He has [undermined] the fundamental rule of law and democracy.”

Goldman isn’t the only House Democrat to question the president’s mental fitness recently.

“The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said last month during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, referencing attacks from Trump aimed at former President Biden amid the 2024 presidential campaign.

“Like the fact that they sat around, called Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe Biden,’ and as I said before, at least you could sleep at night because you didn’t have to worry about your 401(k) disappearing overnight,” she added.

Recent polling has found Trump’s approval rating among Americans slipping in the first few months of his second term. In a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll, the president’s approval rating dropped from 45 percent in February to 39 percent in April.

“I think even you, Will, would have to agree with me that this first 100 days is not at all what he promised the American people,” Goldman said of Trump's initial 100 days of his second term.
