Summary
President Donald Trump's overnight posting spree is prompting questions from those online about his mental stability. Trump's final post on TruthSocial came about 2:45 a.m. EDT with a post about conspiracy theories around the "birth tourism industry." It isn't unusual for Trump to go off on a TruthSocial posting spree, and it's the second time in a week. The spree began about midnight EDT and lasted over an hour. For a moment it seemed like he might stop, but about 90 minutes later he began sharing content from filmmaker Clint Eastwood. It was just one of 16 posts that ranged in attacks on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama, claiming that they were both part of some kind of conspiracy to keep him from the presidency in 2016. At one point, he shared a post saying that Clinton and Obama committed treason. The comments prompted liberal political commentator Harry Sisson to question if the president had lost it. He wrote on X, "It's 1 am in the morning, and Trump is awake ranting incoherently. He's now calling for the 2020 election to be 'permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect.' Someone check him into an insane asylum."Trump posted at one point: “If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT”"Trump had another mental health episode and spiraled out of control on social media last night," said Sisson, listing off the topics that Trump posted about. "Trump’s 1:13 AM post is basically a nocturnal emission of late-night brain static," said satirical influencer SundaeGirl.Columnist and editor Philip Bump commented on Trump's attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center, characterizing it as: “I say you threw garbage in my lawn therefore I own your house.”He later added: "Also: does this suggest that the contrived SPLC lawsuit is what Patel was talking about with his claim about an imminent crackdown on the 2020 election?"Clinical psychologist Dr. Tracy King expressed alarm last week about what she said was a troubling cognitive trend in his nighttime social media behavior, reported the Irish Star. The post about Eastwood comes from a fake story that has been circulating online for years, and one account has been fact-checked. Snopes debunked it in 2020. The spree comes a few days after the Wall Street Journal posted a bombshell report that Trump was too agitated to be in the crisis room where the military was working on saving two airmen forced to eject over Iran.
