Moment Trump declared 'off his meds' in on air bombshell after president loses it

 

Donald Trump reportedly caused chaos inside the White House with a controversial post on his Truth Social account. On Thursday night, the former president shared a video that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama in a racially offensive manner. The clip, which promoted conspiracies about the 2020 election, was deleted about 12 hours later.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump said he had only watched part of the video before passing it along to a staffer. He added that the staff member would not be fired and insisted he would not apologize, claiming he was not personally responsible for the post.

Michael Wolff, Trump’s longtime biographer, described the post as triggering a “panic” among White House aides. In an interview on Inside Trump’s Head, Wolff said staffers were reportedly concerned, with some privately speculating that Trump had “gone off his meds.” He added, “They can acknowledge when Trump is too Trumpy, when he has gone further than they would have expected… and last night, he went over the edge.”

This incident has fueled further coverage of Trump’s recent behavior and controversial statements. For instance, some reports suggest that his late-night social media activity has caused a stir similar to his other public missteps, including predictions that could shock political observers (Trump predicts he'll "make it to hell") and comments that disrupted news broadcasts (Fox News halted after Trump remarks). Analysts have also raised concerns about potential health implications of his recent behavior (Trump sparks major health fears), while other posts highlight political clashes (Trump breaks silence on Keir Starmer).

The backlash was swift. Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney reportedly called the video a potential disaster for Republican prospects in the 2026 midterms. Initially, the White House defended the clip as an “internet meme” and urged critics to “stop the fake outrage.” However, after condemnation from several Republican senators, the video was removed, and a White House official said the post had been made “erroneously” by a staffer.
