Former Trump official confirms age is 'enhancing' Trump’s craziness

Former White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews says nobody can escape Father Time, and right now Father Time is trampling boot marks all over President Donald Trump’s mind.

Her opinion came after a painful series of photos of Trump appearing to nod off and go straight into REM sleep at an important Oval Office Thursday conference, augmented with citations of Trump’s more unnerving late-night posts.

“I just think it's gotten even worse in the sense that it's a little bit more extreme. In the first administration, we didn't have him posting about wanting to annihilate an entire civilization. And so … it seems like he's lost his fastball and that he's not beating Father Time,” said Matthews, who worked in Trump's first administration. “Look, you can't beat father time. And I think old age is catching up with him. And so he's not as on it and as sharp as he once was. And I think that is also just enhancing the craziness that was already kind of there and bringing it to a whole new level. And, and we're seeing that play out.”

MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace pointed out that Trump “drift[ed] off to la la land” likely because he was furiously posting on social media between the hours of midnight and 2:45 A.M. a total of 18 times.

“And none of those posts were really anything pressing,” said Wallace. “None of them were things that couldn't wait till a morning tirade. The two minute span, encompassing 12:27 A.M. and 12:28 A.M. eastern. For instance, Donald trump posted four times on the topics of treason charges for former president Barack Obama and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Forty-five minutes later, at 1:13 A.M. he posted this quote the 2020 presidential election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect. An hour and a half later, at 2:43 A.M. either still awake or awake again, he shared a fawning quote from legendary actor Clint Eastwood.”

It turned out the quote was actually from a New Hampshire state representative from 2019, said Wallace, adding that a recent Fox News poll showed that 55 percent of registered American voters do not believe Trump has the mental soundness to serve effectively as president. This marks seven point increase since late 2024.

Regarding the images of Trump soundly snoozing on Thursday, Wallace asked Matthews if somebody in the White House is paid to shake him or “kick him under the table” to rouse him during these important moments.

“Whose job is it in this White House to wake him up or get the press out?” Wallace demanded.

To this, Matthews had no definitive answer.
