Has Trump completely lost what was left of his mind?

Just reading the sad updates around William Chapman, the young man who jumped into the Tiger enclosure and was unsurprisingly mauled to death.

I then went on to read that Trump, in the middle of the night, some time after this news broke, generated an AI post of him fighting a tiger and “winning”, with music in the background.

How utterly callous, thoughtless, mindless and thoroughly tasteless to do this.

What goes through this man’s mind? He’s leader of one of the world’s most powerful and wealthy countries, has he not got better things to do with his time?

Just when you think he simply cannot get any worse ……

Sorry Cossy I have just posted a similar thread, with a slightly different emphasis, before I realised you got there first.

I’ve just seen it on instagram. Someone pointed out that Trump isn’t capable of posting some of this stuff so who’s helping him? I can’t get my head around the behaviour of this man, the most powerful man in the world. What the hell is going on?

Dementia patients do not get better.

I just posted on Magenta8's thread and added that Trump is completely beyond the pale.
His comment was beyond common decency.

What is even more worrying, IMO, is that the US is no longer giving Ukraine any warning of Russian missile attacks. Apparently the US is the only NATO country which has the technology to detect missile launches.

Trump is working as a Putin ally...

Crossed posts, no matter let’s use yours, flowers

I am totally speechless! May I ask why? Dementia is too kind a word for the evil man!!

Sadgrandma Wed 14-Oct-26 11:38:54

If I start to think that man can’t stoop any lower, he does. What a disgusting individual he is. I think , rather than suffering from dementia, he is just pure, pure evil!

As mentioned by MayBee70, there is some, more than reasonable, doubt as to whether it is actually Trump himself who posts these films.

I certainly doubt that he could produce AI unaided but he presumably approves the content.

There is a rumour that Barron has a hand in it all.

Who knows and who cares who posts them ‘for him’ they are presumably done from his account so most probably has his approval or permission otherwise he would be jumping on the bandwagon to sue or ‘out’ who is doing it
If he’s not capable !!! Not sure why anyone wouldn’t be capable of posting something on line but if he’s not, well he’s obviously telling soneone to do it for him
VILE man

Cossy rumours on SM shouldn’t be swallowed whole.

He is the lowest of the low, what that poor family must be going through.

Fallingstar Wed 14-Oct-26 14:07:26

Bloody hell!
Sorry, I don’t know what else to say.

Fallingstar Wed 14-Oct-26 14:09:08

Turns out the young man had serious mental health issues.
So tragic.
My thoughts are with his loved ones.

You don’t say!

Oreo Wed 14-Oct-26 14:18:38

I do say, there’s too much of it.

How on earth have we come to this? Really.

AmberGran Wed 14-Oct-26 14:37:05

This is the man who is talking about having public executions. What more can you expect???

nanaK54 Wed 14-Oct-26 14:39:22

Just dreadful.
We are not dealing with a man in his right mind which is terrifying given his status and influence.

This is actually the worst moment in world history I can remember.
Even during the Cold War nuclear scares of the 1960s, we had a pretty clear idea that MOST of the people in charge were at the very least sane and well-educated and SORT OF knew what they were doing.
We are now in the hands of, on the one side, the semi-literate madman in the White House whose strings are pulled by a purely, purely evil psychopath in the Kremlin; a and over in China a cold-eyed bureaucrat who does not give a stuff about democracy, Western values, freedom or anything we care about.
Roll on the midterms!

Agreed sarahcyn

So sorry for this poor man's family💔 to have a world leader posting stupid videos about it just beggars belief 😡. I want to say did he ever have more than one brain cell? I can't understand how someone so stupid can have got to where he is and have made as much money as him ? even his own mother called him stupid.
