Why is Trump’s recent Truth Social rant considered a national crisis?

Angie Sullivan 0:04
All right, the president of the United States is very unwell. We all know this, but now he is engaging in this petulant, like I think it would even embarrass a junior high school student, seriously. He's posting this insane stuff over the weekend on Truth Social. It should be the lead story. Like the president of the United States is spiraling out of control. But somebody on Twitter perfectly encapsulates what he did this weekend. Pop this up. At 9:23 this morning, the White House abruptly dismissed the press traveling with the president of the United States while he was away for the weekend, golfing, yak, yak, blah, blah. Um he shared 42 posts on Truth Social in a span of less than three hours and 15 minutes.

The president's meltdown began when he posted his disappointment with one of his appointees. You guys, I'm not even going to The whole thing because then he goes on. It's like him kissing a Jesus on a crucifix. It's him as Elvis. And at this stage, him doing this stuff surprises me zero. I don't think it's funny. I don't think it's cute. I don't even think it's really that sick anymore. I'm just used to him waking up, making an ass of himself, rinse, repeat. The indictment of all of this is on the Republicans who Still support him. And the media, the mainstream media who refuses to let this be the lead story at the top, above the fold, at the top of every hour, this is not normal behavior. If some other leader, could you imagine if the Emmanuel Macron was posting pictures at 3 a.m.

of him as Elvis and dry humping a crucifix, everybody in the free world would be like, well, he's lost it. But with Trump, as usual, he does all of this batshit stuff with utter impurity.

Well, what's interesting about this is you don't hear an outcry from Republicans as we go careening towards the midterms, yet you hear that the White House is telling Republicans, distance yourself from the president. As we go to towards the midterms, he is the liability, and that shows in the polling. And in terms of The world, the world has seen Trump for who he is from the minute this thing all went down.

How did the hosts link Trump’s behavior to Republican responsibility and media silence?

Jennifer Welch 2:24
Trump 2.0, he immediately started tack attacking our allies. They know he's not serious. They know he's vindictive. And to say that we have lost both value as a democracy and respect and all of the things that come with being a superpower, those are now gone, particularly when you look at the loss of the dollar, down 10% because of his policies. And I've said this a thousand times when it comes to his his sprees of posting. If that were your boss, if you worked at a gas station and that were your boss, or you worked at a vet clinic and that was your boss, or it was your child or someone you cared about, you would immediately intervene. But the Republicans don't because they're cowards.
Angie Sullivan 3:08
They're cowards. And he has selected and surrounded himself with people who will not intervene. To me, it's all a part of the humiliation ritual that he loves engaging in. He has surrounded himself with people who are broken, sexually repressed idiots who they're going to have themselves tethered to him forever. Little Marco, smokey eye sociopaths. JD Vance, this will be their legacy. But there are some Republicans who are smarter than those who have tethered themselves to Donald Trump. And I have been sounding the alarm about this for over a year. When you have Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massey, and Marjorie Taylor Green, whom, by the way, I think all three are batshit crazy, but even crazy people can be right about certain issues.
Angie Sullivan 4:00
Donald Trump was able to, when he campaigned, he was able to hone in on how the Uniparty, meaning corporate politics, because both the Democrats and the Republicans service corporate politics. corporations had left people behind. He's a compulsive pathological liar, obviously, but it tapped into where people were like, oh, he's actually going to fight for me and he doesn't need the money. So he was able to manipulate them. Likewise right now, Tucker. Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green, they see that this guy's half dead.
