COMMENTARY 5D AGO MS NOW POLITICS LEFT

Lawrence: What are Donald Trump's deranged social media posts if not evidence of insanity?

09 SEP 2026 · 00:04 ET·11:03·1.04M VIEWS·37.3× USUAL PACE

Lawrence O'Donnell asserted that Donald Trump's social media posts over Labor Day weekend, including altered maps of New Mexico and images depicting himself as a military commander, are evidence of his insanity. O'Donnell argued that Republicans have failed to explain or defend these posts, suggesting they indicate a significant mental decline in the President of the United States. He highlighted posts that appeared to declare war on numerous countries and suggested that such actions and public displays are unprecedented and indicative of a severe mental collapse.

WHY IT MATTERS

The commentary raises urgent questions about the mental fitness of the President of the United States to hold office, with implications for national security, foreign policy, and the stability of the government. The lack of Republican response to these perceived signs of instability further exacerbates concerns about accountability and governance.

ALSO DISCUSSED

The video also touches on the ongoing war in Iran, Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, and efforts to pay down the national debt and reduce inflation. There's a brief mention of comparing himself to other presidents, ranking Barack Obama and Joe Biden at the bottom.
