Donald Trump has senile midnight meltdown about beer

Quite awhile back there was a controversy surrounding a Bud Light advertisement. Right wingers and other insecure transphobic losers pushed back against Bud Light for daring to feature Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender woman, in the ad. If you’re wondering why this is coming up again now, it’s because it’s the latest evidence that Donald Trump has no idea what’s going on.

At around midnight on Sunday night, Trump started ranting on social media about how “The Bud Light ad will go down as the WORST AD in history.” Wait, why would Trump suddenly be focused on this old controversy? Moreover, why would someone who’s out on bail while awaiting multiple criminal trials be suddenly focused on some old controversy involving beer?

This all serves to demonstrate just how far gone Donald Trump is. He’s been doing this a lot lately. Last month he thought that repealing Obamacare, a talking point that was abandoned several years ago, was suddenly the big talking point of the day. At other times he’s given away that he thinks Obama is still President.

Like a lot of people with worsening dementia, Trump seems to be jumping around to different time periods as his failing mind intermittently remembers those time periods. He just keeps getting further and further away from any awareness of what the present tense is. And yes, we’re still team Dylan Mulvaney all the way.
