In a funny opinion piece, Mediaite reporter Tommy Christopher gave former President Donald Trump a good one-two punch. Trump was doing his usual middle-of-the-night ruminating about things when he posted a hype-filled video that featured him doing things in slow motion as people cheered, set to a blaring soundtrack that he has been told not to use. Christopher’s op-ed is hilarious and at one point he writes:

“When he’s not holding rallies where he generates headlines about parroting the language of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler or still thinking Obama is the president, or giving interviews along similar lines, or slurring and stumbling his way through speeches where he mocks other people’s mental sharpness that will later become evidence at congressional hearings, or giving the very best interviews in terms of word, or ranting about how his gaffes are actually on purpose, Trump is a frequent poster to his Truth Social platform. While it lasts.”

Indeed any time Trump posts on Truth Social, or gives a speech, it’s kind of like a rambling word map. His train of thought gets derailed easily and often leaves people scratching their heads. His funny or just plain weird commentary has launched a million memes.

“Those posts usually take the form of text rants with copious use of ALL CAPS WITH EXCLAMATION POINTS about things like “STOLLEN” elections,” Christopher writes. “But Trump also sometimes posts brief video rants shot at one of his golf properties that are remarkable in their ability to recreate the elements of those text rants.”

But this is how Trump rolls during his late-night ruminations, just as he was doing at 2:00 a.m. Friday morning when he posted this latest video on his Truth Social feed. Christopher writes “Trump was apparently thinking he wanted to feel the thrill of people cheering at a football game when he managed to successfully flip a coin or interacting with him at official events when he was still president before he lost to President Joe Biden, or walking into an MMA fight where someone gave him the finger on camera.”

The slo-mo video is stuffed with images from his days as president, with people cheering him on, lots of military hype, and football, football, football, that good ol’ ‘Murican game. Perhaps Trump is wistful, sad for his former days as president before Joe Biden swept his presidency away from him. Christopher writes:

“I’m not saying that President Biden’s “jugular” strategy of taunting Trump as a losing loser who loses — and whose own MAGA media asks him brutal questions like, hey, what if you actually WON the popular vote? (cue “Pure Imagination”) — is making Trump suck his thumb and hold tight to bits of video outing flannel, but I’m not not saying it either.”

You know, it’s really sad to see an elderly man obviously feeling dejected, remembering what he believes are his past glory days (some of us have differing opinions), and wasting his nights on all of this, when he could be doing real things that have real meaning.

But as I said earlier, that’s not how he rolls.

Here’s the product of his 2:00 a.m. ruminations.
