On Monday morning, CNN's Chris Cuomo tried to make ex-Trump campaign adviser Michael Caputo acknowledge that President Trump appears to have a warped sense of priorities, given his recent tweets and bombastic reaction to Michael Wolff's explosive book, Fire and Fury.
"Of the last 10 tweets [made by Trump], only two are about matters of state. Eight of the 10 are personal gripes. Even if you want to cut out the 25th Amendment, mental capacity, how healthy his mind and soul are right now, isn't this proof that he's spending way too much on the wrong things?" Cuomo asked.
