Tony Schwartz on CNN saying Trump much more unstable now because of stress he's under

Schwartz was on CNN just now, discussing the Wolff book. He does think Trump's mental abilities have declined, but he believes Trump has always been unstable. He says the difference now is the stresss Trump is under, much worse than he was ever under when Schwartz was working with him (and essentially writing The Art of the Deal for him).

He thinks the stress is why Trump's schedule has been cut back so much (as Axios reported yesterday). He believes Trump is so obsessed with the news coverage now that he thinks he HAS to follow all of it.

If this is really true, imagine 2 years from now, an hr at work, 8 hrs of news a day.

It has happened to me when I was working under prolonged and extremely stressful conditions. Shaking hands is part or not. The moron is shaking when he picks up a water bottle.
