Donald Trump woke up on Sunday and chose chaos.
From Mar-a-Lago, where heās once again vacationing on the taxpayer dime, Trump unleashed a stream of rage-posts blaming āCrooked Joe Biden,ā Alejandro Mayorkas, and āso-called Border Czar Kamala Harrisā for supposedly letting āanyone and everyoneā into the country. There was just one problem: the facts are catching up to him.

Itās now increasingly clear that Trump was the one who granted asylum to the D.C. shooter. His own administration signed off. His own system approved it. Yet heās still trying to scream āBidenās faultā into the void, hoping no one notices the paperwork has his fingerprints all over it.
Meanwhile, the internet roasted him for something else he canāt spin: how physically bad heās looking.
Side-by-side photos from this same weekend went viralāone of former President Biden, one of Trump. MAGA loves attacking Bidenās health, but the brutal reality in those images is that Trump, currently in the Oval Office, looks significantly worse. Puffy, slumped, and visibly deteriorating, he cuts the figure of a man in decline while pretending to be invincible.
So how does Trump cope? By giving himself what can only be called Fox News therapy.
He turns on Fox & Friends, clings to any halfway-positive mention of his name, and then rushes to Truth Social to praise pundits like Deborah Lee. The irony? Her commentary wasnāt even that complimentary to himāshe basically told him to drop the grudges and focus on governing so he doesnāt blow the midterms. But Trump was just happy someone said his name on TV.

Then users found her Instagram. One of her standout posts:
āWho wants to play mermaid with me?ā
Apparently, that counts as a cabinet audition in Trumpworld now.
While Trump seeks validation on cable TV, his inner circle is busy making things worse on the world stage. Photos from a meeting with a Ukrainian delegation show Jared Kushner sitting at the tableāright alongside Senator Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, the Trump ally who helped push a Russian-friendly āsurrender planā for Ukraine. The Ukrainiansā faces say it all: anger, distrust, disgust at being seated across from people who seem more interested in pleasing Moscow than defending Ukraineās sovereignty. Why is Kushner even there, other than to keep grifting and inserting himself into foreign policy he shouldnāt be near?
And when Trump isnāt melting down or mismanaging foreign policy, heās doing what he loves most: grifting his supporters.
One email blast offered a ātariff rebateā with a photo of Trump smugly holding $100 bills, asking supporters how much they wantedā$500, $1,000, $2,000. But when they click? Itās not Trump giving them money. Itās Trump taking it. āClaimingā a $2,000 rebate actually signs you up to donate $2,000 to his campaign. The billionaire whoās lied, cheated, and defrauded his way through life is now asking struggling Americans to āmake a personal sacrificeā so he can hit his fundraising goals.
At the same time, his allies flood the airwaves with gaslighting.

South Dakota governor Kristi Noem tried to blame Biden for vetting the D.C. shooterāeven though Trump was the one in office when asylum was granted in April 2025. Pressed on it, she danced in circles, insisting it was still Bidenās fault because the process āstartedā under him. The math is simple: Biden was out, Trump was in, and Trumpās administration signed the final approval. No amount of word salad can change that.
Senator Markwayne Mullin was grilled over Trumpās pledge to pardon Juan Orlando HernĆ”ndez, the former Honduran president and convicted narco-trafficker who worked with El Chapo and funneled cocaine into the U.S. His defense? He ātrustedā Trumpās foreign policy instincts. Thatās it. No logicājust blind loyalty to a man willing to pardon the top of the drug pyramid while bombing alleged low-level smugglers at sea.

Trumpās legal and media surrogates arenāt helping either. Alina Habba ranted about āsafe harborā and asylum seekers āabusingā America, despite the fact her own parents immigrated from Iraq citing persecution. Tom Homan, Trumpās border enforcer, said most asylum seekers should be deported because they ācanāt be properly vetted,ā even as Trumpās team admits they relied on Biden-era vetting to approve the D.C. shooter.
And hovering over all of this is Trumpās worsening mental and physical state.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called him out directly, saying Trumpās late-night Thanksgiving rant, slurs, and obsessive posts raise serious questions about his capacity to do the job. Walz challenged Trump to release his medical records and MRI, reminding the country that past presidents did exactly thatāand that no one has āan MRI they donāt know the reason for,ā as Trump bizarrely claimed.
Walz summed it up: this isnāt just politics. Itās about basic decency. Youāre free to use offensive slurs, he saidābut if you do, people will rightly see you as cruel, small, and unfit for leadership.
By the end of Sunday, one picture was clear: Trump is not in controlāof his message, his team, or himself. The regime is fracturing in real time, and his coping mechanismsāFox flattery, scam emails, desperate blame-shiftingāonly make it more obvious.
