Thursday night’s rally in Minnesota demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that Donald Trump is mentally unraveling as the House impeachment inquiry continues to ramp up.
While the rally was officially a 2020 campaign event, it appeared to be more of a profanity-laced self-therapy session for Trump to vent all of his frustrations.
The toddler president appeared most upset about anything and everything related to Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. He even attacked the media for having the nerve to fact-check his lies about the Biden family.

At one point, the huffing and puffing commander-in-chief launched into what Vox reporter Aaron Rupar called “some sort of deranged comedy routine about Hunter Biden.
The crowd laughed, but it’s unlikely that even they understood what the hell Trump was talking about.

And, of course, to cap his tantrum about Biden – the Democratic candidate he clearly fears the most – Trump took a swipe at the former vice president’s time working with President Barack Obama.
Trump claimed Biden “was never considered smart, he was never considered a good senator, he was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass.”

This was one of Trump’s most frightening rallies yet
To be sure, each MAGA rally that Donald Trump holds always has its fair share of terrifying moments – from the “send her back” chants at a previous rally in North Carolina, to the time the president laughed as one of his rallygoers in Florida suggested shooting migrants.
But the performance on Thursday night in Minnesota was among the most terrifying because it showed just how quickly this president appears to be unraveling before our eyes.
Of course, all of this would be fine and well if Donald Trump was still the host of a game show on NBC – but he’s not. The 73-year-old toddler who ranted and raved his way through a rally on Thursday night in Minnesota is the president of the United States.
The country will remain at great risk each day he remains in the White House.
