CNN commentator Ana Navarro doubled down on her comments that President Donald Trump is mentally unfit, calling him “the biggest jerk we’ve seen in the world.”

“This goes way beyond showmanship. What we saw last night is not normal,” Navarro said Wednesday on CNN’s “Wolf.” “What we saw last night is not performance. What we saw last night is a person who got backlash from a very deficient response to a tragedy in Charlottesville. And instead of using the opportunity to be a healer and be a uniter, went out there to stoke the flames of division even further.”

Navarro tweeted Tuesday that Trump may be suffering from early-onset dementia, and that mental illness would be the only valid excuse to justify his behavior.

“When he says they’re taking away our history, who’s they? Who’s our? What history? What he’s doing is dog whistles in front of that base. And I said it last night and I’ll say it again, the only defensible explanation is that he’s not well. Because if he is completely sane, he’s the biggest jerk we’ve seen in the world,” Navarro concluded.
