Trump’s mental state questioned after 47-post tirade about E. Jean Carroll

Former President Donald Trump copied and pasted the same attack on writer E. Jean Carroll — who is suing him for defamation — 47 times on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday alone.

The Messenger reported Friday on Trump's flurry of posts sharing various attacks on his accuser. In the posts, Trump repeatedly asserted that he had "no idea who E. Jean Carroll was," before accusing her of calling her husband a derogatory slur. He encouraged his millions of followers to "Look at her Tweets, Stories, and the CNN Interview about her," and added that "The Judge on the Case is another Highly Partisan Clinton-Appointed Friend. He should have recused himself long ago!"

The 45th president of the United States' day-long posting frenzy about the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her has prompted one conservative attorney to call on the media to consider his mental stability.

"Can anyone explain to me exactly why we’ve never had a serious national discussion about Donald Trump’s mental health?" Lawyer George Conway posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday night. Conway quote-tweeted liberal activist Ron Filipowski, who was keeping a tally of how many times the former president attacked Carroll.

The former president recently lost a bid to halt his January 16 defamation trial in New York. The jury will only decide how much the former president will be on the hook to pay his accuser, since Trump was already found liable for defamation in regard to a 2019 remark in which he said Carroll was financially incentivized to fabricate the allegations against him.

Trump, who is 77, has made repeated errors on the campaign stump that President Joe Biden's reelection campaign has attempted to exploit. X account @BidenHQ, which is the official account for the campaign's rapid-response operations, has been posting various videos mocking the former president for various slip-ups like referring to Biden as "President Obama," accusing Biden of "using the fear tacksicks[sic] of a police state" and a video montage of various slip-ups during public events, like calling Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán "the leader of Turkey" and mistakenly referring to Sioux City, Iowa as "Sioux Falls," which is in South Dakota.

In November, a Biden campaign spokesperson told the Messenger that the posts aim to spark questions about Trump's mental faculties given his advanced age. For his part, Biden, who is 81, has been fending off attacks that he is too old to be president of the United States for another four-year term. Axios reported that the president has previously told aides he "feel[s] so much younger than [his] age." In his memoir Promise Me, Dad, Biden wrote that his wife, Jill, and former chief of staff Steve Richetti "would conspire to get me to ease off for a while."
