A post President Donald Trump made on Truth Social Saturday night left some of his critics stunned.
Trump shared a post from an anonymous social media account about a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the secretary’s oldest son, Jim. The story claims that Trump sent a jet to transport Jim, 21, to a treatment center after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2020, when he was 15 years old. The post includes photos of Trump hugging what appears to be a teenager, with Mullin crying in the background.
Mullin told a similar story during his confirmation hearing in March, Fox News reported.
“I mean, here’s the president of the United States, and he did it just because he cared,” Mullin said at the time.
The puzzling post made the rounds on social media, where some of the president’s critics expressed concern for his mental health, with some claiming that it was AI-generated content.
“Truly deranged,” Sawyer Hackett, a political strategist and content creator, posted on X.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) posted on X that Trump’s post was another sign of Trump’s decline.
“Trump is not well,” Lieu posted on X.
Ben Meiselas, co-founder of The MeidasTouch Network, mocked the images.
“Imagine being Markwayne Mullin as Trump posts AI slop of himself cradling AI slop of your injured son and supposedly nursing him back to health, while a fake version of you cries with gratitude in the background. Totally normal. Nothing creepy here,” Meiselas posted on X.
Journalist Aaron Rupar was more concise with his reaction.
“Unreal,” he posted on X.
Amy Siskind, an activist and author, called on the media to pay more attention to Trump’s cognitive decline.
“Still waiting for the media to cover his cognitive decline, and potential health issues, like why he has been out of the public eye for days. Pretend he’s Biden,” Siskind posted on X.
