If you spent any time last week listening to President Donald Trump, you have to be alarmed by his mental and emotional state.
"Hi, perhaps you recognize me," he said Wednesday in a rambling, nutty video that sounded like a cheesy infomercial. "It's your favorite president. And I'm standing in front of the Oval Office at the White House, which is always an exciting place to be."
Trump's face makeup was so dark, I thought for a moment it was Tan Mom, not Tan Don.
The president made a bunch of odd claims. He said that taking an experimental antibody treatment for his COVID-19 infection was his idea, not his doctors'. He promised to approve the drug for widespread use. (That's the FDA's job.) He vowed it would be free. (It won't.)
"It's a cure," he said, though there is no known cure at this point.
"I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president because I feel great," he said. "I feel perfect. I think it was a blessing from God that I caught it."
On Thursday, in a rambling, nutty interview with Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business Network, he attacked two of his most loyal allies, Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr, for failing to pursue and/or prosecute Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, who, according to Trump, have committed "the greatest political crime(s) in the history of our country."
That evening, in a rambling, nutty interview with Sean Hannity, he attacked Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who authorities say was the target of a serious kidnapping and assassination plot by domestic terrorists, for her stringent COVID-19 measures.
"She's complaining," he said, "but it was my Justice Department that arrested them ... What she is doing is a horrible thing to the people."
He also proclaimed, "If I weren't president, you wouldn't have a Second Amendment right now."
Trump's delusions of grandeur are now having delusions of grandeur.
