Former Trump official confirms age is 'enhancing' Trump’s craziness



Former White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews says nobody can escape Father Time, and right now Father Time is trampling boot marks all over President Donald Trump’s mind.

Her opinion came after a painful series of photos of Trump appearing to nod off and go straight into REM sleep at an important Oval Office Thursday conference, augmented with citations of Trump’s more unnerving late-night posts.

“I just think it's gotten even worse in the sense that it's a little bit more extreme. In the first administration, we didn't have him posting about wanting to annihilate an entire civilization. And so … it seems like he's lost his fastball and that he's not beating Father Time,” said Matthews, who worked in Trump's first administration. “Look, you can't beat father time. And I think old age is catching up with him. And so he's not as on it and as sharp as he once was. And I think that is also just enhancing the craziness that was already kind of there and bringing it to a whole new level. And, and we're seeing that play out.”

MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace pointed out that Trump “drift[ed] off to la la land” likely because he was furiously posting on social media between the hours of midnight and 2:45 A.M. a total of 18 times.

“And none of those posts were really anything pressing,” said Wallace. “None of them were things that couldn't wait till a morning tirade. The two minute span, encompassing 12:27 A.M. and 12:28 A.M. eastern. For instance, Donald trump posted four times on the topics of treason charges for former president Barack Obama and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Forty-five minutes later, at 1:13 A.M. he posted this quote the 2020 presidential election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect. An hour and a half later, at 2:43 A.M. either still awake or awake again, he shared a fawning quote from legendary actor Clint Eastwood.”

It turned out the quote was actually from a New Hampshire state representative from 2019, said Wallace, adding that a recent Fox News poll showed that 55 percent of registered American voters do not believe Trump has the mental soundness to serve effectively as president. This marks seven point increase since late 2024.

Regarding the images of Trump soundly snoozing on Thursday, Wallace asked Matthews if somebody in the White House is paid to shake him or “kick him under the table” to rouse him during these important moments.

“Whose job is it in this White House to wake him up or get the press out?” Wallace demanded.

To this, Matthews had no definitive answer.

'No more tricks up the Trump legal team’s sleeves': Why the ex-president’s latest 'win' is temporary

Image
When a five-judge New York appeals court panel on Monday significantly cut Donald Trump's $464 million bond amount in the New York civil fraud case down to $175 million, and gave him ten more days to pay up — just hours before the deadline, legal experts were astonished by "the major lifeline" thrown to the former president . Former New York State Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell "who successfully prosecuted the $25 million Trump University case," slammed the order as "special treatment," while ex-federal prosecutor and MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said , "The verdict is in: the rules, the laws, and the Constitution do not apply to Donald Trump the way they apply to you and me." However, in an op-ed published by The Daily Beast, legal ethics and civil procedure expert Ray Brescia suggests despite Monday's win, Trump is "still in deep legal trouble" when it comes to both of his New York cases.

Boycott that led to Kimmel's return hailed as 'playbook for the next 3 years of Trump'

Image
Disney and ABC announced Monday that late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel would be returning to his show on Tuesday after he was abruptly taken off the air last week. NBC reporter Sahil Kapur tweeted the Walt Disney Company's announcement Monday , which stated that while it felt Kimmel's comments about Republicans' response to the death of Charlie Kirk were "ill-timed and thus insensitive," the company had "thoughtful conversations with Jimmy" and "reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday." Disney's statement comes on the heels of the company losing so many subscribers to its Disney+ platform that the subscription cancellation page reportedly crashed . Business Insider reported that even Americans who didn't personally watch Jimmy Kimmel's show viewed his suspension as "the last straw" and decided to cancel not only their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, but to also no longer take Disney cruises or visit Disney ...

'Going for the jugular': Legal scholar warns 'Trumpers' want to end major civil right

Image
One of the nation’s top constitutional scholars has issued a strong warning that the GOP will be working to overturn one of the most consequential, landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions in modern American history. Griswold v. Connecticut established the precedent for the right to privacy, laying the foundation for the right to contraception, abortion, same-sex intimate relationships, and same-sex marriage. Two years ago next month, the right-wing justices on the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v.Wade , which for nearly 50 years had established the constitutional right to abortion. In his concurring opinion, embattled Justice Clarence Thomas issued a call for cases to be brought before the nation’s highest court, declaring that rulings that had also established the rights to contraception and same-sex marriage were, in his opinion, wrongly-decided. Justice Thomas declared the Court “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold , Law...
