5:18Now PlayingFormer Trump associate Lev Parnas is warning for the second time in as many weeks that “something is deeply wrong” with Donald Trump’s mental state. Parnas pointed to Trump’s assertion this week that he “doesn’t want” his followers anymore if they keep talking about Epstein, along with his growing agitation about just about everything. Trump has never exhibited as many consistent symptoms of mental decline as he has in the past few weeks, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

A former, very close associate of Donald Trump's who worked in his first administration on matters happening behind the scenes. A man by the name of Lev Parnas has, uh, spent the last couple weeks really sounding the alarm bells about how dangerous Donald Trump is becoming. But unlike the corporate media that talks about, oh, Trump's dangerous 'cause, he signs this executive order, he's ignoring the courts. And of course, those are all important things. Parnas has been sounding the alarm bells about Donald Trump's very obvious cognitive decline, something that the corporate media continues to pretend doesn't exist. But in a substack post on Thursday, Lev Parness had this to say about Donald Trump's mental state. I know a lot of you have been wondering what Trump's next move might be, but as I've been telling you, the real story isn't about what he will do. It's about what he's already doing right now.
The coverup is intensifying. And this morning Donald Trump took a sledgehammer to what remained of his maga base in a truth social post. He didn't just call out his supporters, he disemboweled them. The very people who built his movement and who defended him through every scandal were called irrelevant, weak links. He doubled down while taking questions in the Oval Office. He called maga foolish, stupid, and duped by the Democrats specifically about what he now calls the Epstein hoax. This was a big mistake because something is happening that the media's not reporting, but I've been telling you for months, and now even Trump's closest allies are starting to admit it. The man is unraveling. You could call it desperation, cognitive decline, or just plain delusion. But when Donald Trump can't remember that he himself nominated Jerome Powell to the Fed and then blames Joe Biden for it. You know, something is deeply wrong.
He's so used to blaming Biden for everything. It's now automatic the economy, Biden's fault, Epstein files. Biden planted him. But something is deeply wrong. And, you know, uh, about two weeks ago, Parnas had posted another thing on Substack where he talked about Donald Trump's increasing cognitive decline. And I like how he pointed out that the media is not talking about it, but we are at a point in time where just over the last two weeks now, Donald Trump has exhibited far more symptoms of cognitive decline than Joe Biden ever did in a two week span. The problem is this, and I think I've kind of figured this out, right, Biden did exhibit signs of cognitive decline. There is no denying that I talked about it right here on Ring of Fire as it happened. The problem is Biden's became so sensational and would stay in the news for days and days and days because it wasn't constant. It wasn't daily. It
Wasn't even weekly. So Biden would go out, have a totally, you know, cogent conversation or interview or speech, and it didn't matter. But then the next day he would do a speech and he confuses the president of Mexico for the p and he calls calls of the president of Egypt. Right? Oh my God. That's a three day story. What an idiot. What a buffoon. This guy's clearly mentally unwell. Get him out of office now. Well, not exactly with Trump though, and he makes these mistakes. He said, Biden appointed Powell, even though Trump did in October of 2017, and the media just yawns and moves on. Why? Well, partially because if they report on that, they're gonna lose access to 'em. That's number one. Like, that's, that's not even partially, that is the main big thing. They don't wanna be mean to him.
