Unhinged Trump Quotes Einstein in Deranged 7-Part Meltdown on Golf Course

Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of seven unhinged Truth Social posts on Easter Sunday, touching on everything from his tariffs to the war in Ukraine as he also bizarrely quoted Albert Einstein.

The posts, which went live over the course of about 20 minutes late Sunday afternoon, came mere hours after the president was photographed arriving at his own Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, where it’s presumed he played a few rounds.

He began the spate of posts with the Einstein quote, which reads, “The World will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but rather by those who watch them without doing anything to stop them.”

The “evil” people he may have been referring to are the “Radical Left Lunatics” he mentioned in a lengthy rant earlier in the day as he sarcastically wished his political enemies a happy Easter.

He said they’re “fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country.”

The president also launched into a rant about “the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten!”

Former President Joe Biden was also name-dropped, with Trump accusing him of allowing “Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America.”

The next post in Trump’s late-afternoon tirade simply wished everyone a happy Easter โ€” for the third time on Sunday. “HAPPY EASTER. WE WILL, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,” Trump wrote in his signature all-caps style.

The next post, which came minutes after the other two, was yet another rant about his political enemies โ€” this one specifically targeting those who spoke ill of his sweeping trade tariffs, which sent world markets into disarray when they were announced weeks ago.

There’s currently a 90-day pause on most tariffs, with all countries except China, Mexico and Canada falling to a baseline 10% rate for all imported goods to the U.S. China, on the other hand, was slapped with massive 145% total tariffs on all imports, which came after Trump accused the country of a “lack of respect” for the world’s markets.

Stocks soared briefly when the 90-day pause was announced, but they quickly fell back into the red and have been fluctuating wildly over the past few weeks, all while on an overall downward trend.

“THE BUSINESSMEN WHO CRITICIZE TARIFFS ARE BAD AT BUSINESS, BUT REALLY BAD AT POLITICS,” Trump ranted. “THEY DONโ€™T UNDERSTAND OR REALIZE THAT I AM THE GREATEST FRIEND THAT AMERICAN CAPITALISM HAS EVER HAD!”

Minutes later, the president alluded to the U.S.’s vast reserves of gold as he posted, “THE GOLDEN RULE OF NEGOTIATING AND SUCCESS: HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES. THANK YOU!” He appeared to say that the U.S. has the most gold in the world and that it therefore has the largest bargaining chip when it comes to economic negotiations.

Trump’s next message related to the war that’s raging in Ukraine as he promised a swift deal between Russia โ€” which invaded the former Soviet country on Feb. 24, 2022, hoping to annex it โ€” and Ukraine itself.

“HOPEFULLY RUSSIA AMD UKRAINE WILL MAKE A DEAL THIS WEEK. BOTH WILL THEN START TO DO BIG BUSINESS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH IS THRIVING, AND MAKE A FORTUNE!” Trump wrote.

Negotiations between both countries and the U.S. have been tense, with Trump and his administration only promising to help bring peace in the region if Russia and Ukraine both make deals with him that would allow the U.S. access to resources from both countries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said peace can only come in the region if Russia abandons its invasion and gives Ukraine its territories back, and Russian President Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine utterly disarmed and rendered unable to defend itself as he labeled Ukrainians “terrorists.”

Several minutes later, Trump pivoted once again as he made a post about the Easter egg hunt scheduled to take place on the White House lawn on Monday morning.

“Tomorrow morning is the BIG Easter Egg Hunt at the White House,” Trump wrote in a post that seemed to end his barrage of messages. He said an astounding 40,000 people were expected to be at the event, though that statistic remains unclear. He then bizarrely wrote that he would be there โ€” as if he isn’t at the White House almost every weekday each week.

“ALL FUNDS, EVERY DIME, GO DIRECTLY TO THE WHITE HOUSE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION,” the president concluded, thus ending his barrage of penned posts. “SEE YOU TOMORROW!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT.”
