In his final months in office, the media’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s senior moments consumed significant portions of the public discourse. Television pundits, Internet podcasters, and political partisans were fixated on him. CNN’s Jake Tapper even wrote a book about it.

For some reason similar attention is not being paid to the display of severe mental impairment seen daily in Donald Trump. Even though, in a far more dangerous way, Trump’s cognitive decline impacts directly on the national security of the nation. It’s also more targeted to his political foes.

On Thursday morning Trump was deeply involved with what he regards as his most critical presidential duties: Posting maniacally on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social . What follows are are some of the noxious rants that he fired off for three hours beginning at 5:50 am.
POST #1 : “The Democrat Party, lead by one of the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks in the history of our Country, and even the World, is doing everything in their power to get away from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION by saying, over and over again, that the Trump Administration is corrupt. […] I don’t even take a Salary, worth Millions of Dollars. I am the only President to have done so!”
Trump woke up outraged at the Democrats that so handily defeated his MAGA cult party in the 2026 midterm elections. So he lashes out incoherently with completely meritless charges of corruption. A tactic he often employs to deflect from his own well documented corruption. He also brags that he takes no salary, but ignores that he has made billions in illicit funds since reoccupying the White House. He also lies that no other president waived their salary. Both Herbert Hoover and John Kennedy did.
POST #2 : “Does anybody remember, in my First Term, the relentless effort by the anti-American Dumocrats to get my personal Tax Returns, something that has always been off limits for anyone other than Donald J. Trump. Shockingly, they won this unprecedented right in the U.S. Supreme Court. […] After one year of intense work, these brilliant Democrat inspired accountants FOUND NOTHING except that I paid my taxes and did everything right. […] Other than cheating, this is how they won the Midterms”
Yes, Donald. We do remember that you worked fiercely to hide your tax returns, despite the fact that every president in modern times has voluntarily released them. However, you’re right that the Supreme Court ruled that you must turn them over to Congress. Whereupon, analysts from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation found several problems in them. For instance…
POST #3 : “Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms – I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico. […] MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW, and if they do not do so, the Tariffs on Mexico will be IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED. […] There will be no leniency!”
Here we go again, indeed. This post was a golden oldie and was clearly composed for Trump by his new neo-fascist Chief of Staff Infection, Stephen Miller. But it will be hard for Mexico to stop migrant caravans when there aren’t any according to Mexico’s president .
POST #4 : “Not passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT…was devastating to the Republican Party in the Midterms [and] Not terminating the Filibuster…will go down as being one of the greatest mistakes in the Political History of America.”
True to form, Trump is desperately struggling to place the blame for his failures on others. Trump himself will go down in history as “the greatest mistake in the Political History of America.”
POST #5 : “I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. […] CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!”
Great idea! Make JD Vance focus completely on seeking imaginary corruption. That’ll keep him off the couch for a while. And he did so well with his prior assignment to make a deal with Iran to end the war, now in it’s eighth month. Trump now says that “We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” Has anyone seen any of that money? And if we have the Strait of Hormuz, why do we still have Navy vessels and soldiers deployed there?
POST #6 : “If the Democrats want to ‘root out corruption,’ they should start with investigating Blue States, perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth. Big time money is being stolen each and every hour of the day!”
Don’t worry, Donnie. Democrats will start their corruption investigations soon enough. So as the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee says, “Lawyer Up!”
POST #7 : “Will the Seditious Six ever be prosecuted? What they did was a great violation to our Country and its Constitution!”
This is a veiled reference to the six members of Congress that Trump tried to prosecute , including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, because they reminded soldiers that the Uniform Code of Military Justice mandates that they do not obey unlawful orders. However, Trump’s U.S. Attorney in D.C., Jeanine Pirro, failed to get any indictments from a federal grand jury because there were no laws broken.
Trump’s mental condition has been unstable for years. But the recent election losses seem to really have broken it beyond repair. And if his behavior since the election is any indication, we are in for a wild ride of insanity for the next couple of years, if Trump lasts that long.
