Time to stop pretending that Trump isn’t insane

Donald’s latest medbed conspiracy post proves he’s not a mastermind—he’s mentally unstable, and it’s time we all said it out loud.

Donald Trump’s latest Truth Social post should end the debate once and for all. On Saturday, he shared an AI-generated video claiming that magical “medbed” hospitals exist—futuristic miracle machines that supposedly heal every ailment—and that every American is about to receive a medbed card for access.

This isn’t fringe internet nonsense anymore. This isn’t some anonymous QAnon post on 8kun. This is the President of the United States promoting science-fiction silliness like it’s executive policy.

It would be funny if it weren’t so terrifying.

Because when a deranged conspiracy theory is elevated from late-night internet bat-shittery to semi-official presidential communication, the joke stops being funny. It becomes a national security risk. And it’s time for journalists, legacy media, and independent outlets alike to stop normalizing this man. Stop treating him like a clever manipulator or a “master of chaos.” He’s not. He’s mentally unstable.

Stop just reporting. Start diagnosing.

The media has gotten far too comfortable reporting Trump’s nonsense as if it were just another oddity in the news cycle. A crazy post goes up, someone in the White House frantically deletes it, and we all move on. But that’s not good enough anymore.

News anchors should not just be reading his words into a teleprompter. They should be bringing in mental health professionals and asking them, live on-air, what the hell is wrong with the President. What specific mental health conditions explain this behavior? Why can’t he control his most destructive impulses? And most importantly, what can this country realistically do about it?

Because this isn’t a policy debate. It’s a crisis of competency.

Why he will never be removed

Of course, the solutions are limited. Loyal Cabinet members just a few clicks less crazy than Donald will never invoke the 25th Amendment. House Republicans, many of them just as detached from reality, will never draft articles of impeachment. And the chicken-shit GOP Senators—well, they’d never have the backbone to convict, even if a half naked Donald Trump live-streamed himself signing executive orders from inside a medbed chamber.

So no, he won’t be removed. Not by constitutional process. Not by his party.

Which leaves us with only one option: we have to find ways to mitigate the damage.

Step one: tell the truth

This first step is brutally simple: admit the obvious. Donald Trump is mentally ill. He is not a genius strategist. He is not a master manipulator. He is not even especially clever. He’s a spoiled, entitled, filterless man who wears down his opponents through sheer madness and persistence.

He doesn’t win because he’s smart. He “wins” because he’s too deranged to stop demanding things until someone finally gives in. That’s not strategy. That’s dysfunction.

If we can agree on that—if the media and the electorate stop pretending that any of this is normal—we begin to rob him of power. We strip the illusion. His messaging doesn’t get filtered into the pro-democracy echo chamber, because we’ve all agreed it’s nonsense. He becomes what he actually is: a dangerous joke.

Facing reality = neutralization

That’s how we neutralize him—not with impeachment articles that will never pass, not with 25th Amendment fantasies, but with honesty. We stop elevating him. We stop normalizing him. We stop treating him like anything but what he is: an unstable, incompetent man in the most important office in the world.

And once we all agree on that, we’ve taken the first real step toward cutting off his influence, his access to attention and his perceived power.

Because a madman only has power if we continue pretending he’s sane.
