Why have we not had this conversation in this country?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a critical question, Chris, whether or not the former president of the United States belongs in the slammer for what he did between the election and January 6th,\u201d Acosta said.<\/p>\n<p>The former White House correspondent provided his analysis after Cuomo <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CuomoPrimeTime\/status\/1415482309340508160\">read<\/a> an excerpt from the new book <em>I Alone Can Fix It<\/em> by The Washington Post\u2019s Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker. The excerpt did not allege the president had engaged in any criminal behavior.&nbsp;The book\u2019s revelations consist entirely of the reported fears, suspicions, and concerns of Trump administration officials and others inside the Beltway.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo later admitted, \u201cNothing ever happened to confirm these suspicions. And that\u2019s I think one of the suggestions that this book is going to have to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet Acosta said, \u201cDonald Trump was behaving like an Adolf Hitler, who was potentially looking to overthrow the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe question becomes Chris, what do we do about this information?\u201d Acosta asked.<\/p>\n<p>Acosta\u2019s fellow panelist, Michael Smerconish, tamped down the allegations, saying there is \u201cmuch we still don\u2019t know about the events of January 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Acosta, who has long viewed President Trump as his personal b\u00eate noire, said the poison pen book \u201caligns with a lot of what we were reporting around the time of the election and then the\u201d D.C. riot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI talked to a source close to Trump, around the time of the [D.C. riot], who said that Trump had lost his mind, that he had lost it, and he was essentially trying everything by hook, or by crook, to overturn the election results at that time,\u201d Acosta continued.&nbsp;\u201cI will tell you, I\u2019ve talked to two former senior White House officials, who have told me that Trump is quote, \u2018insane.\u2019 They have both used that word, \u2018insane.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attempting to force President Trump from office by citing concerns over his mental health became so common that the American Psychiatric Association issued a statement in 2018 saying that it\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/american-psychiatric-association-calls-end-joseph-curl\">unethical<\/a>\u201d to diagnose someone as mentally ill without examining him or her personally. \u201cWe at the APA call for an end to psychiatrists providing professional opinions in the media about public figures whom they have not examined, whether it be on cable news appearances, books, or in social media. Armchair psychiatry or the use of psychiatry as a political tool is the misuse of psychiatry and is unacceptable and unethical,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo attempted to hype President Trump\u2019s alleged indifference to constitutional norms by quoting an alleged conversation Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had with General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>Pelosi told the [g]eneral, she was deeply concerned that a \u201ccrazy,\u201d \u201cdangerous\u201d and \u201cmaniac\u201d Trump might use nuclear weapons during his final days.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMa\u2019am, I guarantee you these processes are very good,\u201d Milley reassured her. \u201cThere\u2019s not going to be an accidental firing of nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cuomo later asked CNN correspondent Phil Mudd, \u201cIsn\u2019t the real question, \u2018Did they have any reason to feel this way?\u2019\u201d Mudd responded that if these thoughts occurred to \u201csomeone like General Milley,\u201d they \u201ccan\u2019t simply be paranoia.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.4588607594937\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The time between when former President Trump lost the election and President Biden\u2019s inauguration was \u201cworse than we knew,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisCuomo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChrisCuomo<\/a> on troubling new revelations in the book \u201cI Alone Can Fix It.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KxKLzI5VCF\">https:\/\/t.co\/KxKLzI5VCF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TBejmzQvqv\">pic.twitter.com\/TBejmzQvqv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cuomo Prime Time (@CuomoPrimeTime) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CuomoPrimeTime\/status\/1415482309340508160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>General Milley is best known for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/highest-ranking-u-s-military-official-defends-teaching-crt\">viral defense of Critical Race Theory<\/a>, saying the Marxist-tied ideology sheds necessary light on \u201cwhite rage.\u201d At President Biden\u2019s inauguration, General Milley <a href=\"https:\/\/abc11.com\/trump-coup-general-mark-milley-i-alone-can-fix-it-book-joint-chiefs\/10888924\/\">told<\/a> Michelle Obama, \u201cNo one has a bigger smile today than I do.
