Politics | President Trump Report: Aides Worried About 'Unraveling' Trump Sources say he is increasingly 'unstable,' isolated By Rob Quinn Posted Oct 12, 2017 5:22 AM CDT Copied President Trump waves to members of the media before boarding the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn of the White House, Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017.

The sources say Trump is "unstable" and "unraveling" after setbacks including legislative failures and the Alabama GOP primary loss of Trump-backed Sen. Luther Strange, which they say has deeply affected the president. "Alabama was a huge blow to his psyche," a source described as a "person close to Trump" says. "He saw the cult of personality was broken." Two other sources tell Vanity Fair that Trump raged to longtime aide Keith Schiller: "I hate everyone in the White House! There are a few exceptions, but I hate them." Schiller, Trump's security chief for many years, left his White House position last month. Republican sources say John Kelly, Trump's chief of staff, has been doing his best to limit access to Trump—a policy that has left Trump frustrated. The insiders say Kelly hates his job but has stuck around to prevent Trump making "disastrous decisions." The White House denied the Vanity Fair report, saying: "The president’s mood is good and his outlook on the agenda is very positive." (Trump wants to compare IQ tests with his secretary of state.)
