American from all across the political spectrum were shocked and appalled by Donald Trump’s reality-defying posts on Truth Social throughout the day on Sunday, and even some of Trump’s own supporters admitted that he is losing his mind. The posts were nothing short of insanity, and could easily be evidence of a severe mental illness. Nevertheless, not a single major media outlet was talking about it on Monday morning – the either moved on or completely ignored it. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why the media has to do better.

There's little doubt left in American's minds after this past weekend that Donald Trump has in fact lost his mind. Conservatives, conservative pundits, supporters of Donald Trump on truth, social, and of course pretty much everybody on the left lashed out at Donald Trump. And, uh, basically said that he's not well, uh, to put it mildly, and in case you're wondering what sparked all this, it was a series of posts on truth social, where Donald Trump very clearly and obviously showcased his mental illnesses by denying the very reality. One of these, of course, was a post where he said that he is actually winning in all the real polls, even though that is exact opposite of what's happening. He, he's not winning in any of them. That's an insane claim to make. But it was when he decided to say that all the crowds at Kamala Harris' rallies were actually just CGI, he said it was ai.
They were using ai. Trump claimed to make it look like there were actually crowds at Kamala's rallies. I'll read you that post. Has anyone noticed that Kamala cheated at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, but she AIed it and showed a massive crowd of so-called followers, but they didn't exist. She was turned in by a maintenance worker at the airport when he noticed the fake crowd picture. But there was nobody there later confirmed by the reflection of the mirror, like, finish on the vice presidential plane. She's a cheater. She had nobody waiting in the crowd. Looked like 10,000 people. Same thing is happening with her fake crowds at her speeches. This is the way the Democrats win elections by cheating, blah, blah, blah. I'm insane. Now, here's the fun part. George Conway, of course, ex-husband of Kelly Ann Conway. Uh, he reposted this on Twitter on Sunday, and he said simply he is delusional. Literally. And I could not agree with George Conway more about that statement, but there was another response. Raw story pointed this out. Another user on social media said, this should be the lead story on every news broadcast. Trump is senile, delusional, and unfit someone take his keys away.
The problem with that comment is that before I even saw the comment, I went around and I looked on Monday morning the day after Donald Trump showed that he is suffering from a serious mental illness on Sunday. So Monday morning, you would think, obviously this is the biggest story. Donald Trump lost his mind in full view of the public. Conservatives are attacking him for it. Liberals are attacking him for it. The country is united in screaming at the top of our lungs that Donald Trump is mentally ill. Washington Post Politico, New York Times, NBC News, C-N-N-M-S-N-B-C, Fox News, newsmax.
Those were to be expected. Not a single one of them. Not one of them on Monday morning had that story. They didn't even talk about the post at all. Not one story on the biggest media outlet websites in this country, not effing one. Maybe they covered it on Sunday, maybe you're saying, but fair, and I saw them talk about it on Sunday. Okay, well, nine to 10 hours later, those stories were disappeared off the front pages as if it didn't even happen, as if it didn't matter, as if it wasn't still the biggest story in this country that Donald Trump is suffering a severe psychotic meltdown on truth social, I'm sorry, but I think that warrants a little more coverage than just a couple hours on the front page before disappearing it. If they even covered it at all, which it doesn't appear that most of those outlets did.
