As Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris introduced her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, at a fiery campaign rally in a packed arena in Philadelphia on Tuesday, former president Donald Trump was melting down on Truth Social.

The GOP’s nominee posted arguably his craziest social media rant — a wacked-out fantasy that President Joe Biden would change his mind about stepping out of the race and demand the nomination back.

The what-was-that post left people wondering what was wrong with Trump:

“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST president in the history of the US, whose presidency was unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer and others on the lunatic left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency, a COUP, to the people in the world he most hates. And he wants it back NOW!!!”

Michael Steele, former Republican National Chairman, tweeted: “Umm, GOP, is DonaldTrump ok? Perhaps, the campaign has become too much for him — what with now having to run against VP Kamala Harris, watching his VP choice JD Vance say something stupid — again; or popular Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joining the Harris campaign.

“I know it can be a lot. Maybe a nap? Or, you know, a commonly used form of psychotherapy is cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Trump’s been saying he wants to do something cognitive. The goal of CBT is to manage intense stress and anxiety by changing the way one thinks, feels and behaves. Failing that, how about CBD?”

George Conway, an attorney who once worked for Republicans and former husband of Trump ex-spokesperson Kellyanne Conway, tweeted a question to Trump’s campaign staff and his children: “Are you guys gonna get this guy the help he so obviously needs, or are you all just there to cash his checks?”

Conway recently launched a new political action committee, the Anti-Psychopath PAC, which he says will “highlight the existential threat Donald Trump poses to democracy and remind voters of the former president’s mental unfitness for office.”

Rick Wilson, founder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political organization, tried to explain the Trump post: “I promise you, Trump is watching this rally and throwing sh*t against the wall, absolutely losing his [bleeping] mind,” Wilson tweeted. “He hates how good she’s getting. He hates that the audience that looks like America instead of a convention of inbred catalytic-converter thieves.”

Reaction to Trump’s cringy post was swift and widespread, especially among Democrats: Was “Kamabla” a typo? A new nickname? A racist play?

“These are the ravings of a madman,” tweeted Democratic political strategist Simon Rosenberg. “We are here now everyone. Trump is gone. It’s a serious matter and we cannot look away anymore. After his disastrous week last week, where he repeatedly embarrassed himself, his campaign has taken him off the trail. His campaign knows.”

Just watched trump on fox.

They played the clip of walz, “Donald Trump is not fighting for you or your family. He never sat at that kitchen table like the one I grew up at, wondering how we were going to pay the bills. He sat at his country club in Mar-a-Lago wondering how he can cut taxes for his rich friends”.

Trump: “I wasn’t just sitting at mar-a-Lago. I was at other places. I built a beautiful business”

He also started rambling about Venezuelan tar, and bagram - haven’t the slightest idea what he was waffling on about.

He’s lost his mind.
