Fox News’ longtime political analyst blasts Trump: He 'seemed to verge on incoherent'

A Fox interview with Donald Trump left at least one Fox host fearful about the former president's mental state.

Bret Baier spoke to Republican Party's 20204 front-runners on Monday, and Brit Hume was shocked at what he witnessed.

Hume began by congratulating his colleague for pushing back against Trump while also "letting him have his say."

But that was where the niceties ended.

"I will say a couple of things, one thing is his answer on the matters of the law seem to me to verge on incoherent," said Hume. "He seemed to be saying that the documents were really his and that he didn't give them back when he was requested to do so and when they were subpoenaed because, you know, he wasn't ready to because he hadn't sorted them and separated the classified information or whatever from his golf shirts, whatever he was saying."

Hume went so far as to say that it wasn't even clear what Trump was saying.

"But he seemed to believe that the documents were his," Hume continued. "That he had declassified them, when there was evidence to the contrary. And therefore, he could do whatever he wanted with them. Which I don't think is gonna hold up in court."

When it came to Trump's pitch to suburban female voters that he's lost, "his answer was to talk about how he didn't lose the 2020 election. I don't think that's an appealing message for the future."
