It’s Almost Biologically Impossible for Trump to Become More Insane

Now that he's freaking out about his dead pal Epstein, we are in uncharted territory. Again.

What does a nation do when its president has proven in a very public way that he’s insane?

Screenshot from True Sociopath account. I may have altered the name of the website, but I might not have. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The initial response, especially among those who voted for him, is shock. But the extent of his mental collapse has taken even his most vocal opponents by surprise to the point of denial. Many of his fiercest enemies continue to “credit” him with various maneuvers and are in denial about how far gone he is.

It isn’t hyperbole to say that there are thousands of things about the lunatic who occupies the Oval Office to be concerned about, to be scared of, to be outraged over. The Substack community is full of those things. You don’t need a rehash here.

But nothing is as important as his insanity. The existence of humanity is at the mercy of a lunatic, and it’s time to stop pretending otherwise.

His reaction to his old pal Jeffrey Epstein is so laughable that even his base is turning on him. This is well documented. I won’t go into details here. But even a cursory peek into his recent reactions over almost everything reveals troublesome trends.

I want you, dear reader, to find a speech, or a tweet, or a Facebook post, of any other president in any other year. Just do a random search on the Google machine or your search engine of choice.

There is no right answer. Just choose a president, any president, and look for any form of communication, at any time, about any subject.

Then, read part of it. Any part. One paragraph or two is probably enough.

Please do this now.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Are you finished with your assignment?

Great. Now, take a look at this post on True Sociopath, the official presidential twitter site:

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Note that the quoted post is not satire. It contains no added Bastille snark or alteration, except, of course, “True Sociopath,” and, in that case, I’m merely suggesting to the maniac-in-chief that he should use a name that correctly represents his website, instead of his nutty Orwellian bullshit name.

I’m kind and generous in that way.

This is not the post of a sane man.

The first task we all face in finally defeating this enemy is to acknowledge that all of the evil shit he is doing is not the work of an evil mastermind.

He is not Dr. Evil. Not even close. His mad tweetposts are not some clever disguise or way to keep the world thinking he’s crazy and unpredictable. He is crazy and unpredictable, and we need to treat him this way by demanding that the sycophants who fear him remove him from power immediately. Not next year, not after the midterms. Now.

He’s a combustible lunatic who can’t read or write.

His low literacy levels are famous for a reason. Those hundreds of executive orders he issued when the administration began displaying its bloodlust?

He didn’t write a single one. Either AI did, or his henchwoman, Susie Wiles, did, or one of her henchpeople did. But not the mad clown.

Now that you’ve read his post, read an executive order. Any executive order. Prove to me he wrote any of them, and I’ll never write another Substack for as long as I live, and instead I’ll retire to Florida as my punishment.

Much of the anti-Trump cottage industry here on Substack and elsewhere gives him credit for such grand tactics as misdirection. This, despite the fact that he communicates his lack of focus on every platform he uses, whether it’s a speech to his adoring cult, a post on True Sociopath, a debate with Kamala Harris, or an interview.

There is no “genius’ behind anything he does. When he deflects, it isn’t because he’s developed a brilliant plan for owning the libs. It’s nothing but instinct and a lack of focus. When a lizard snatches its prey out of the air, do we call it a genius?

“Wow. What a smart lizard!” No. We don’t do that.

I’ve read some wild stuff giving him credit for being a master manipulator. “Nobody understands the media like he does,” scream the echo chambers most of my readers occupy. As proof, they cite his 14 years barking orders on The Apprentice, where he learned that some people fear his personality type. That’s not genius. That’s instinct.

That instinct is still at play as half the Senate chamber bends at the feet of a madman.

But wait, the ever observant reader protests. What about his focus on immigration?

Two words: Stephen Miller, the last man standing from the mad clown’s earlier days:

Meet Stephen Miller — the Last Man Standing

And White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Miller’s boss, who directs traffic and keeps everyone in line.

“What about tariffs?” you might rightly inquire.

The true “mastermind” behind tariffs is a fellow named Robert Lighthizer, who was the mad clown’s first trade representative. He pumped the idea that tariffs were good into the easily manipulated brain of a president who was a doddering fool during his first term, even if he may have not yet been clinically insane.

Lighthizer is the mentor of Jamieson Greer, the regime’s current trade representative, who said at his Senate confirmation hearing:

“It’s indeed instructive to think about our history with respect to trade policy … until about 1913 the United States government was almost entirely funded from tariff revenues, including during the latter part of the 19th century, when America truly was exploding as an international industrial powerhouse and we had a relatively high tariff rate.

“At the same time, we saw countries like the United Kingdom lowering their tariff rates and actually falling out of industrial competitiveness.”¹

These kinds of views, which run counter to almost every genuine Republican on earth, were not enough to stop a Republican Senate from confirming him.

Other tariff maniacs support Greer, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and trade advisor Peter Navarro.

When you see the mad clown do his TACO act, it’s because his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, a free trader at heart, sometimes gets into his ear. But Bessent’s influence is said by insiders to have been waning almost since the days of his confirmation. It is probably a short matter of time before he resigns, as he is the closest thing to normal currently advising the mad clown on economic policy.

Well, then, you might ask. What about the strafing of the budget? Surely that was done as a blitzkrieg to keep us off balance.

Nah. That was Musk, who finally escaped the White House (for now), and Russell Vought, the editor of Project 2025 and the current Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Every path of destruction laid down by the regime is someone else’s handiwork. Here are some of Vought’s:

A Progress Report on the Destruction of America

The mad clown’s administration is catnip for other lunatics. That’s all it is. They vie for his attention, but he’s not clever, not even a little bit.

He can be manipulated to some extent, but many of the ideas that he merely flirted with when he was not interested in ideology during his first administration have since metastasized in his head during the last eight years and are now permanently wired into his mad brain. There is no going back, because he’s crazy.

As a result, when someone like Bessent explains to him that tariffs will be disastrous, he wavers for just a moment, gets called a TACO, then screams at Bessent and keeps him outside of his office while the tariff guys yell into his ear that he was right all along, because he’s always right, everywhere, all the time.

And so, for now, here we are, back in full tariff mode.

This may change tomorrow, depending on what new crack in the mad king’s brain develops overnight.

The only way to win this war against Donald Trump is to abandon any notion that he is a strategist and to formally declare that he is certifiably insane. This is not hyperbole. This is not me being pissed that the young men who were ten-year-old young boys when he first glided down that escalator are now impressionable young voters who have been observing his behavior for a decade and now think Joe Rogan is the bomb.

This is a cold, hard fact that any reasonable evaluation of any of his communications anywhere during the last few years will demonstrate.

But don’t just take my word for it. A growing cadre of clinical psychologists and psychiatrists is sounding the alarm, too.

Even Trump’s own government says he’s crazy:²

Book promoted on the National Institutes of Health Website. The NIH is a government agency. The page containing this will likely be removed on July 25.

If you follow an anti-Trump Substack that promotes the notion that he is a leader of men and women with a broad strategy that always has us on our heels, please correct them. Effusive praise and encouragement of our fellow resistance writers are great. Acquiescing to the regime’s narrative is not.

He keeps us on our heels because he’s a lunatic, not because he’s an unbeatable general and strategist.

It truly is like having your crazy Uncle as president. We need to start treating the situation for what it is. We should let Republicans in Congress, who fear him only because they, too, know he’s crazy, know that we have their backs when it’s time to deal with this existential threat to the United States and the world.

Notes

Is Trump evil? Maybe. I don’t even know at this point. He’s too crazy to evaluate.

Thanks for reading! Please share if you think we shouldn’t have a crazy person in the White House.

My November stroke sucked, but you know what sucked even more? The cost! We live in a society that doesn’t believe in healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt us. If you’re in the mood and don’t want a paid subscription, send me a few dimes for my next MRI. Please and thank you!
