President Donald Trump’s former White House lawyer Ty Cobb pointed to the commander in chief’s repeated, unhinged late night rants on social media as an indicator that he’s mentally “gone.”

Appearing Tuesday on “The Jim Acosta Show,” Cobb argued that Trump’s nightly crash outs online over topics like the war in Iran and his political opponents during bizarre hours proves he’s reached a certain level of “insanity and depravity.”

“It’s not a surprise that we’re in this much trouble. It’s not a surprise given the fact that the cabinet will not invoke the 25th Amendment for a man who’s clearly insane,” Cobb said of his former client.

“And this war highlights that. And these screeds that come out nightly, at 2 a.m. or 4 a.m. or whatever time Trump decides to vent without oversight, it highlights the level of his insanity and depravity,” he continued.

“You think he’s just gone?” Acosta questioned, to which Cobb doubled down, replying, “I think he’s gone.”

“And he makes it obvious every day,” Acosta added.

Cobb, who served as Trump’s attorney from July 2017 to May 2018, spent many hours with the president in the Oval Office and led the White House’s internal response to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 presidential election, in which Trump beat out Hillary Clinton.

Since retiring in May 2018, Cobb has become a vocal critic against the president.

Cobb said Trump’s “uncontrolled ego” is the president’s “own worst enemy” while speaking with NBC News in July 2022. He also called the world leader a “disaster for the Republican Party.”

Earlier in his interview with Acosta, Cobb proclaimed that Trump has “historically” and “continuously” been “guided exclusively by his narcissism,” adding that the president’s “impulses have been on full display.”
