According to President Donald Trump’s former attorney Ty Cobb, the president is “clearly insane,” and his erratic social media behavior proves his “insanity and depravity.”

Speaking on the Jim Acosta Show Tuesday evening, Cobb had nothing but harsh words for his past client, saying that Trump’s actions in Iran and social media “screeds” prove that he’s mentally “gone.”

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

Cobb — who worked closely with Trump as his special counsel during the first term investigation into Russian election interference — has become an outspoken critic of the president. The attorney asserts that he never voted for Trump, and following Cobb’s departure from the White House, he said the Russia investigation was not a “witch hunt” as the president suggested, called Trump a “disaster for the Republican Party and called him “one of the greatest threats to our democracy.”

Last month, after Trump celebrated the death of Robert Mueller, who led the Russia investigation, Cobb said the president’s words were “petty, shameful, despicable and undignified,” calling him a “demented narcissist.”

When asked by Jim Acosta about Trump’s mental state on Tuesday, Cobb’s assessment was blunt: “I think he’s gone.”
