Trump's Mental State Completely Implodes Following Conviction

Following his felony conviction on Thursday, Donald Trump gave a speech on Friday that media pundits ripped to shreds for being completely incoherent. In fact, a CNN panel said that the speech was so disjointed that they were calling into question is mental capacity. Trump's mental problems definitely got noticeably worse as the trial went on, and now that it has concluded with him being convicted of 34 counts, we can likely expect even further deterioration, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Following his conviction of 34 felonies on Friday, Donald Trump, the now felon, who is the Republican, uh, nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Um, he gave a speech on Friday, right? He took some time on Thursday afternoon to digest it. He put some angry posts on truth social. But on Friday, he finally decided I gotta go out there and say something. And honestly, it would've been much better for him if he had just stayed completely quiet and away from the cameras. But we know he can't do that. His narcissism forces him to go out there and talk, and it could not have gone worse for him. A CNN Panel led by host Aaron Burnett and also featuring in, uh, CNN correspondent Casey Hunt, and of course Bloomberg columnist Nia Malika Henderson. They absolutely tore Donald Trump's performance to shreds by pointing out the fact that clearly this conviction has just absolutely caused his mental capacity to implode.

Here's what Henderson had to say. Uh, Trump can't really speak or put two sentences together. It was, I think, surprisingly incoherent. She said of his speech, surprisingly all over the place. He wants to make this argument about Age against Biden. But here he was looking, you know, kind of like an old man who was just ranting and raving in a self-involved way. This wasn't a great outing for him, I think it was probably smart of him not to answer questions given where he has been so far in this speech. And if you look at the times he has answered questions, he gets himself into trouble, on a number of issues.

So then Casey Hunt jumps in, and Casey Hunt says this. I also think the fact that he didn't take questions is sort of telling in terms of his state of mind, because it actually is typically something certainly during the Trump administration that he thrived on, right? So Donald Trump didn't want to talk to reporters back and forth. He wanted to talk at them. He didn't want to take their questions. He walked away before anybody could ask any questions. And everyone on that CNN pan, uh, CNN panel, excuse me, was like, yeah, uh, seems to be something wrong with him. He's more incoherent than usual. He's more disjointed than usual. His sentences aren't even making any sense at all. And all of this is pretty much exactly what those mental health professionals that I have been talking about for months now said was going to happen all throughout this criminal trial. Hell, we can go even further back. All the way through the civil trial last fall, as the trial dragged on, Trump became more and more incoherent as the stress of the trial, you know, put all of this pressure onto his brain. Metaphorically speaking, it caused an already fragile state to become even

More disjointed. Then there was the Eugene Carroll trial and then the criminal trial. And as each of those went along, his mental state got worse and worse and worse. And again, I have sat right here. I have talked about the fact that the mental health professionals, the people who know all about this stuff, they've been pointing that out the entire time. And they said, if he gets convicted, it will get worse. And that is exactly what we saw happen in that speech on Friday. It's what we saw happen in the rallies over the weekend. It's what we've been seeing happening on truth social. So yes, these people that have been sounding the alarm bells, all of the warnings they have given us are now coming true.
