one of Donald Trump’s Most vocal supporters in the past have questioned the President’s suitability for the role.
Shawn Ryan, a podcaster and host of The Shawn Ryan Show, took to X (formerly Twitter) to speculate about Trump’s mental abilities. A former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor, Shawn previously had the president as a guest on his podcast. In January, he expressed regret on his podcast for voting for Trump.
Shawn Ryan raises concerns about President Trump’s mental fitness
“Ummm… I know we all thought the last one had dementia but…” Ryan wrote in a now-deleted post. Received by OK! magazine. The post was made in response to the White House’s announcement that “nothing is more important than peace.”
The White House post was made during Trump’s inaugural meeting of his peacekeeping board, an international organization tasked with dealing with international conflict. The meeting came amid sharply escalating ties with Iran after the US and Israel bombed the country.
Shawn interviewed Trump on his show in 2024, the same year he voted for the current president in the presidential election. In an episode in January, he expressed regret over his vote. He said his vote was given on the promise of release epstein files.
“I voted for this nonsense,” he said. “I voted to release these d*mn files, and it’s like a total of 180 files just happened.”
He also took aim at Attorney General Pam Bondi, who said “all” of the Epstein files had been released. Former CIA contractor accuses the White House of prioritizing profits over arresting sexual predators.
“But we didn’t talk about that, did we? Oh, and what was the excuse? What was the excuse? Oh – ‘If we prosecuted everybody the whole system would fall apart.'”
Tell us – Do you think it is important to discuss the mental health and fitness of politicians in political discussions?
