'Mental midget!' Trump throws a fit in 'unhinged' rant over verbal slip-ups

Former President Donald Trump is enraged that President Joe Biden went on Seth Meyers' late-night show and made fun of Trump's apparent screwup over his wife's name during a speech at CPAC — and he came out with a lengthy video on Truth Social complaining about it.

"The Radical Left Democrats are at it again," said Trump. "They're constantly making up stories about me because their candidate is a mental and physical basket case. He's also the worst president in the history of our country. He went on a very poorly-rated show last night and he talked about Donald Trump and his wife, I don't know the name of my wife. He was referring to the fact that at CPAC, I had a sold-out speech, the biggest audience they've had in years, I think maybe ever, I made the statement that Melania was popular, because I mentioned her name, the audience went wild. I then looked at the two people, man and wife, Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, and then I said, 'Wow, they really liked the First Lady.' So this got taken as the fact that Mercedes was the First Lady, it has nothing to do with that."

"These people are really dishonest," Trump continued. "They are absolutely something. They have a horrible candidate who's a horrible president, they make up things constantly. You take a look at when I use Barack Hussein Obama, and I interject him into where it's supposed to be Biden, and I do it purposely for comedic reasons, for sarcasm, because a lot of people say President Obama's running the country, not Biden, because he's sleeping all the time. They say, oh, I don't know the name of the president. Or when I imitate this guy getting off a stage, what they say is, oh, he had trouble getting off the stage. I have no trouble getting off a stage. Anybody that watches what I do at rallies would say, wow, that's amazing. I can go two hours without a teleprompter, not making even a little mistake. Very few people, maybe almost nobody can do what I do."

"The disinformation of Democrats is unbelievable," he raged. "They do it because they have a horrible candidate. Don't associate me with the mental midget that you portray, because I want to tell you, he should not be leading this country. And hopefully, on November 5th, he's not going to be."

Trump's long-form tantrum raised eyebrows on social media.

"He’s showing us his weaknesses," said Republican political consultant Mike Madrid. "Attack his mental competence. He can’t help but take the bait." Meanwhile, a Biden campaign account was swift to mock the video, posting in response, "Trump posts unhinged video melting down after President Biden pointed out that he can’t remember his wife’s name He claims he is being confused 'for comedic reasons.'"
