Donald Trump is "in severe mental decline" and "will not succeed" in the next election, said a former senior adviser.
Anthony Scaramucci, who was director of communications at the White House for just eleven days before his dismissal in 2017, said the US president's behavior had "worsened" since his last visit a year ago.
In an interview with CTV News on Friday, he said, "He is in crisis; it's like the episodes of Chernobyl where the reactor has melted and where people are trying to find out if they are going to hide it or clean it up. "

Mr Scaramucci said he believed the president's chances of re-election "were decreasing every day" – but admitted that "there is still a chance there."
He added, "I predict he will not go to this election; The mental decline is so severe that the most likely outcome here, and I think the most proud result, would be to say, "OK, I did a great job and I'm going to retire at the end of the term" .

The former aide's comments come after the President of the Republic was challenged for a tweet he posted last weekend, saying that Alabama would be hit by Hurricane Dorian.
Anthony, former director of communications at the White House Scaramucci talk about Donald Trump at CTV News of September 6, 2019. (CTV New)
He was later criticized for posing in front of the Oval Office a map of the Dorian storm at the National Hurricane Center, which appears to have been altered to include Alabama on the way to the storm.
Mr. Trump replied tweeting, "This nonsense has never happened to another president.
"Four days of corrupt denunciation, always without excuses."
However, the National Weather Service of Birmingham, Alabama, tweeted: "Alabama will see no impact from Dorian. We repeat that Hurricane Dorian will not be affected in Alabama. "
Sources said Internal business that the presidential advisers were particularly worried about his refusal to recognize his request was false.
"People are used to having the president say things that are not true, but that sort of thing in Alabama is another story," they said.
"No one knows what to expect from him," a former White House official told Business Insider.
