Experts warn Trump is ‘utterly bonkers’ after bombshell WaPo deep-dive on president’s post-election meltdown

Experts were shocked by the portrait of President Donald Trump in a bombshell new report.
Posted online by The Washington Post on Saturday night, the story was titled, "20 days of fantasy and failure: Inside Trump's quest to overturn the election."
