ABC News’ Jonathan Karl said that while former President Donald Trump’s mounting legal woes have been headline news, “people have not been paying attention to what Trump has become.”.
Trump “has become more detached from reality than he ever was even in the White House,” Karl, whose new book “Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party” will be released later this month, said on Sunday’s broadcast of “This Week.”.
“If you think of where we were in January of 2021, that’s the starting point for where a Trump presidency would be next time around.
So I think he’s had largely, believe it or not, a free ride,” argued Karl.
“Again, the criminal cases we know about, but what he’s thinking, what he’s doing,” he added.
But Trump, who is 77, has become “increasingly confused about things,” he noted.
“As we get closer to these primaries, we’ll see where not just Trump is based on these criminal cases, but where he is now as a human being,” Karl added. »
