Regarding Trump’s immaturity, I think this NY Mag story is rather telling:

And I’d also recommend watching Bob Wright riff on the “crazy vs. crazy like a fox” question in this ~2.5 minute video clip:

There seems to be a growing number of Democratic politicians who are questioning the mental health of Donald Trump.  Al Franken alleges that a few of his GOP colleagues share this concern.  Bernie Sanders has described Trump as "delusional" and noted that he is a pathological liar.

When Franken was asked by Jake Tapper about this, about what he meant re: Trump's mental health, the only answer he gave was that Trump lies a lot.  Similarly, your description of Sanders's comments above is fixated on Trump speaking untruths, and musing about whether he believes the untruths or not.

But I think that's only one piece of what people are talking about re: Trump's mental health.  The bigger issue is the one described here:

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/01/trump-is-twilight-zone-episode-about-terrifying-6-year-old.html

about Trump's narcissism and childlike attention span, immaturity, and mood swings.  AFAIK, there are no Democratic politicians who are going there in their attacks on Trump's character, and I wonder if that's ever going to change over the course of Trump's presidency.  Is attacking a political opponent along these lines inevitably going to be painted as over the top by the media, even if it's true?
