A group of 30 senior doctors specialising in psychiatry or mental health has warned that President Donald Trump is mentally unfit, showing clear signs of cognitive decline and should be removed from office.

In a letter submitted into the Congressional record, they said that over the past year, Trump’s behaviour showed “marked deterioration in cognitive functioning”, “grandiose and delusional beliefs” and “severely impaired judgement and impulse control”.
