America's Drunk Uncle/President Went Ape S*** On Social Media Yesterday: Breaking Down Trump’s INSANE Truth Social Medical Episode

Trump's bananaland posting spree on Truth Social yesterday underscores the notion that America is being held hostage by a dementia laden lunatic.

There’s a specific kind of guy we’ve all met. He’s three drinks past his limit at the family barbecue, he’s got the phone two inches from his face, and he’s narrating his entire grievance history to a folding chair. He’s fighting people who aren’t there. He’s showing you photos of himself. He keeps saying, “This country is BACK,” to a dog.

Aaron Rupar 21h Folks, these are the rantings of a crazy person. Note how Trump resorts to attacking the wives of men he doesn’t like. The president is a lunatic. 704 108 135

Yesterday, that guy was the President of the United States — except instead of a barbecue it was Truth Social, and instead of a folding chair it was 50+ posts fired into the void in about seven hours while American soldiers were getting shot at in the Middle East, and his entire political life, along with America proper, was quietly falling apart.

Let’s have a look at the greatest hits. But first, let’s talk about why a 79-year-old man spent his Saturday rage-posting AI cartoons of himself like he was coming down off a three-day bender.

The week that broke him

You don’t post your own face onto Mount Rushmore twice in one afternoon because things are going great. Here’s what actually happened to Trump in the days before the meltdown — and every bit of this is on the record:

Aaron Rupar 16h Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery. 533 105 112

Freedom 250 imploded. The Trump-backed concert series for America’s 250th birthday announced its lineup, and within 48 hours, almost all of the headliners ran for the exits. Bret Michaels, the Commodores and Martina McBride all withdrew, saying they were misled about the theme. Five of the nine announced headliners said they would not perform. The biggest name left standing is Vanilla Ice. Genuinely.

So he gave himself the gig. After the artists pulled out, Trump announced he would personally host the opening ceremony and floated scrapping the whole thing. “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring,” he posted, adding: “Cancel it.” Nothing says “celebrating 250 years of a republic” like a man demanding the party be replaced with a rally for himself.

The Kennedy Center rebuke. He got told — by a judge — that he couldn’t slap his name on the place. So naturally, he opened his Saturday by attacking the judge.

Dean Blundell 2d Guys. Now that Trumps name has to come off of the Kennedy Centre, he wants nothing to do with it. Big LDE energy right here. 😂 339 59 72

The slush fund got frozen. This is the big one. Two federal judges took steps to halt the settlement between Trump and his own Acting AG Todd Blanche — a deal that would have handed Trump, his family, and his businesses what Democrats called a “Super Pardon” and created a taxpayer-funded $1.8 billion fund. One judge ruled the court must now investigate whether the entire settlement was corrupt. Blanche, reminder, is Trump’s former personal criminal defence lawyer who is now running the Justice Department.

Meanwhile, the actual war. While he was posting cartoons, the Iran war he’s presiding over kept grinding on. By mid-March, the US military had already announced roughly 140 American servicemen injured, and a March attack on Prince Sultan Air Base wounded at least 15 US soldiers. Iran’s retaliation has fired thousands of drones and missiles at US bases across the Gulf. Real people. Real danger. And the Commander-in-Chief was busy posting himself dunking a basketball on Kathy Hochul.

So that’s the backdrop. A man losing on every front, who responded by going golfing and then going apeshit on social media like the world’s most unwell victim.

The greatest hits: a minute-by-minute timeline

Fifty-plus posts. Read it back and count what’s missing: the war. The economy. The soldiers. His actual job.

The tells

A few things jump out of that list if you read it like a behavior pattern instead of a news feed.

He cannot stop fighting Joe Biden. Thirteen separate Biden attacks in one day, including a five-in-90-seconds burst at 5:33. Biden is not the president. Biden is not running for anything. Biden is an 83-year-old man in Delaware. A guy haunted by an opponent he already beat is not a guy who feels like a winner.

He keeps building monuments to himself. Mount Rushmore (twice), George Washington (three times), kissing the flag, navy cosplay, a “Trump Peace Prize,” “Trump energy 2026” on a bomber. This is the visual diary of a man who needs you to tell him he’s great, refreshing the page for a hit that never comes.

He told on himself at 2:55 PM. Right in the middle of the bender, he stopped to announce he’s in “excellent health.” Nobody who is well posts that. Nobody.

So what

Here’s the thing I keep coming back to. We have completely normalized this. Reporting on his own feed shows he averaged just under 19 Truth Social posts a day across 2026 — more than 2,200 posts in four months. There was a single December night where he fired off more than 160 posts between dinner and midnight. The drunk-uncle energy isn’t a one-off. It’s the operating system.

If your actual uncle did this — fought ghosts, posted his own face onto national monuments, declared his own health unprompted, all while the family business was being frozen by a judge — you’d take his keys and have a quiet, serious conversation. When the President does it, we call it “Trump being Trump” and scroll on.

The volume is the story. The timing is the story — a man losing on every front, drowning it out with AI slop. And the single most honest post of the entire day was the one where he insisted, to no one, that he’s just fine.

He’s not. And neither, frankly, is a country that’s decided this is normal.

Trump's Past Is Catching Up With Him

 Trump's Past Is Catching Up With Him

Joyce Vance May 31

 

We’ve discussed Trump’s ongoing efforts to prevent the release of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on the now-dismissed classified documents prosecution against the president. That issue has now resurfaced. As we discussed at the time, Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump and has always ruled in his favor, was never going to order the release of Volume II of the Special Counsel Report, which covers the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. But now the matter is in the hands of a different court, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which has not hesitated to correct Cannon’s errors in the past.

There is a fascinating resonance between Cannon’s decision to prevent the release of Volume II and the issue we’ve seen surface in Trump v. IRS, the case whose “settlement” led to the creation of the slush fund Trump can use to give taxpayer dollars to January 6 defendants while erasing his and his family’s liability for debts owed to the government, like back taxes from tax audits. The common thread is cases where, instead of a legitimate adversarial process, with opponents duking it out in court, Trump is the actual party in interest on “both sides of the v.” In both of these situations, it’s Trump v. Trump, which leaves the president to decide what positions government agencies will take in these supposed legal conflicts. In the case of the special counsel’s report, DOJ, which would normally argue for its release, has taken Trump’s side. And Judge Cannon has played along.

 

On Inauguration Day, she issued an order blocking the Justice Department from sharing the Volume II with leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary committees, who were set to receive it in accordance with the typical practice after a special counsel concludes their work. With DOJ on Trump’s side, there was no one to challenge it.

 

Then, in February in a piece appropriately titled, “If DOJ is Trump’s Law Firm, Aileen Cannon is his Judge,” we discussed Cannon’s next move. She ruled on what she characterizes as two “unopposed” motions, one by Trump, one by his co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago case, both designed to prevent release of Volume II. At the time I noted, “If it weren’t such a serious matter, ‘unopposed’ would be funny—these motions preventing the routine release of a special counsel’s report are only unopposed because the Attorney General, who should have filed an opposition, lives in Trump’s hip pocket. Cannon has managed to hold up the release of Volume II for over a year at this point.”

 

While Judge Cannon was doing everything possible to prevent the release of Volume II, two groups of journalists, American Oversight and the Knight First Amendment Institute, asked to intervene in the case to ensure a truly adversarial proceeding, with the parties presenting opposing views on whether the report should be released. Cannon dealt with that by dragging her feet, simply refusing to rule on the request. That went on until November, when the matter reached the Eleventh Circuit and she was given 60 days to rule. The Eleventh Circuit pointed to “undue delay.” Cannon predictably ruled against permitting intervention, and the issue was appealed to the Eleventh Circuit.

 

Now, the Eleventh Circuit has ordered a briefing schedule on the requests to intervene and argue in favor of the release of the report. The timing is fast, with the next set of briefs due 14 days from the date of the order, and all of the briefing to be concluded by July.

The scheduling order is signed by Judge Nancy Abudu, who was appointed to the Eleventh Circuit by President Biden. The court will have to consider the issues once the briefs are in, but the ruling over Cannon’s foot dragging signaled they were out of patience with her efforts to keep her thumb on the scale for Trump. There is good reason to be optimistic here, even if the process takes time. Assuming the media entities are permitted to join the proceedings, there would still have to be briefing on the issue of release, but here again, Cannon was an outlier, and there is good reason to believe the Eleventh Circuit would not agree. DOJ’s accidental release earlier this year of a document detailing some of the work in the case gives us reason to believe there could be interesting material in the report.

Is it coincidence that two separate cases, involving two of the most important challenges to Trump’s ability to exert control over the government and pervert the rule of law, are coming to fruition at the same time? Perhaps so. But what’s at stake here is a core constitutional principle. Article III of the Constitution gives federal courts jurisdiction to decide actual “cases” or “controversies,” which means there must be opposing parties with conflicting interests. The Supreme Court has held that the “case or controversy” requirement means there has to be a genuine, active dispute between genuinely adverse parties for a court to have jurisdiction. Trump has elicited favorable decisions in both the IRS case and the release of the report case by trying to avoid that requirement. But it’s starting to look like time is up.

If this doesn’t sound like an enormous development, admittedly, it’s a bit inside baseball. But by forcing Trump to act within the confines of the rule of law, courts can create accountability. Refusing to let Trump him get away with using them as a sham vehicle for perpetrating frauds that allow him to extract government funds for his personal use or avoid accountability for past conduct is an important reassertion of real guardrails. The one-two punch of courts requiring him to face an actual adversary would be a welcome development.

Trump’s past is finally catching up with him.

We’re in this together,
