Trump’s ‘Unhinged’ Second Term

December 19, 2025 Buck Banks

“It all might make more sense if he actually were drinking. By all accounts, President Trump doesn’t touch the stuff. So when his own chief of staff said that he has ‘an alcoholic’s personality,’ she was talking about his larger-than-life nature rather than his consumption. … Yet in some ways, it may be an apt description for a president who seems even less inhibited than ever in a way that has many in Washington and beyond shaking their heads or even wondering if the leader of the free world has lost it. The word often whispered by Republicans and shouted by Democrats and Never Trumpers is ‘unhinged.’”

— President Biden called Donald Trump “clearly unhinged” and claimed that “something snapped” in the former president after he lost the 2020 election, CNN reports.

— President Biden, quoted by the AP, mocking Donald Trump’s confusion in recent campaign appearances.

Why Trump Must Not Be Allowed to Hold Power Again

December 23, 2020 Buck Banks

“Looking on the bright side of a humiliating national disaster, the manner of President Trump’s departure from power has clarified why he must never hold power again. … On one side are the lunatics — among them Giuliani, Powell and Flynn — who want Trump to violate laws and assume authoritarian powers. On the other side are sycophants who supported Trump’s spurious legal challenges to the election result but apparently draw the line at treason. By most accounts, Trump’s sympathies lie with the lunatics.”

Trump Thinks He’s Better Loved Now than After His Election

November 26, 2018 Buck Banks

“I think it makes my base stronger. I would have never said this to you. But I think the level of love now is far greater than when we won.”

— President Trump, quoted by Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie in their new book Trump’s Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency, on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Most see Trump’s “bigger button” tweet as impolitic,
And most admit it’s a poor example of realpolitik.
But leave it to the North Koreans
Who’ve practiced insult art for eons,
To characterize Trump’s tweet as the “spasm of a lunatic.”
