Cabinet Member Says Trump Calls Him At 1am To Gossip About TV Shows

According to multiple different cabinet officials with Trump’s administration, he will frequently call them around 1am each morning to talk about whatever random things are going through his mind – including gossiping about TV shows that he is watching. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that Trump will frequently call him multiple times until he wakes up just to talk about TV, and Lutnick says that sometimes he’ll talk about policy. This isn’t just weird – it is a symptom of a serious problem, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

In an interview published this week for the New Yorker, commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick told a story about how Donald Trump loves to call him right around 1:00 AM every morning, not just a couple mornings. This isn't a one off thing Lutnick said. Every morning Trump calls him about 1:00 AM and most of the time he just wants to chit chat, right? He wants to quote gossip about TV shows. At 1:00 AM the president of the United States is calling his cabinet members. And Lutnick did say he calls other cabinet members too, around that time to talk about the TV shows he's watching, because that is something that a totally normal person is gonna do, right? Let me read you this. Lutnick said that, aside from quote, real stuff like international trade, Trump also likes talking about quote sporting events. People who do you have dinner with? What was this guy like?

Can you believe what this guy did? What's the TV like? I saw this on tv. What did you think of what this guy said on tv? What do you think about my press conference? How about this truth? I posted Trump has other people he calls late at night, Lutnick at it. And by the way, that was, that was a direct quote that I read from you. Trump's like, who'd you have dinner with? Yeah, what do they like? What do they do? Did you see this thing I posted on Truth Social? Wasn't it amazing? Did you see this press conference I gave? Oh my God, how amazing am I? And Lutnick at 1:00 AM is just sitting there like Uhhuh. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Nope, haven't seen that show. Nope. Nope. That was a good post. Good. Good job. Good job, man. Good job.

Now, here's the thing. This is not just, wow, that's weird. And it's weird, of course, that Trump will then hang up with Lutnick and call other cabinet members at 1:00 AM. No, it it. Well, it is weird and, and I do think we need to go back to that attack, by the way. You know, uh, Tim Walls launched it in the 2024 campaign, and I thought it was brilliant and it worked. It got under their skin so badly. These people are frigging weird, but this is also a symptom of dementia. Let me explain. Donald Trump, as I've said repeatedly, I feel at this point is exhibiting so many signs of dementia that we're almost doing a disservice to this country by not having him analyzed by trained mental health professionals and neurologists. He needs brain scans. There's something wrong because of all the symptoms he's showing us. Restlessness and sleeplessness are in fact very common symptoms of dementia. It's not just that, oh, Donald Trump's working

Around the clock doing these things. No, these could be symptoms of a massive neurological disorder that could prevent him from being able to carry out his duties as president. Restlessness, sleeplessness, and of course, agitation is also becoming more common in people with dementia, and the agitation often leads to those sleepless nights or frequent awakenings and confusion and anger. All of these are symptoms of dementia, and all of these are things that Donald Trump has been exhibiting more and more and more in just the last few weeks. These are symptoms, folks. That is how we need to look at this. It's humorous and weird that he is calling his cabinet members at 1:00 AM but when you start to look at it as a potential symptom of a medical condition, suddenly not only does it make more sense, but it becomes a far more serious issue that definitely needs to be addressed by professionals.
