Now that Robert Mueller and the SDNY have officially accused Donald Trump of multiple election-related felonies, making clear that he is a criminal and that he’s not legitimately the president, suffice it to say that Trump is not taking it well. Yes, he’s insisting that he’s been fully cleared and that there was no collusion. But he’s also saying other things which are so jarringly incoherent, they suggest he’s completely gone.

Donald Trump posted a Twitter rant this afternoon which started off with “Watched Da Nang Dick Blumenthal on television” and got stranger from there. It took everyone a moment to realize that he’s attacking Senator Richard Blumenthal and not watching a rerun of a racist porn movie. Trump then went on to use the phrase “whizzed by Da Nang Dicks head” which went over about as well as one might expect.

The jokes came fast and furious, with respondents pointing out that it sounded like Trump was perhaps confessing to the Pee Pee Tape. He then went and posted the phrase “he then woke up from his dream screaming that HE LIED,” which was supposed to be about Blumenthal, but a whole lot of people pointed out that it more aptly described Trump himself. Finally, in case Trump hadn’t been inappropriate enough, he ended his rambling by making a point of flat out calling Senator Blumenthal a “Dick.”

This latest meltdown doesn’t merely read like the kind of frantic venting you’d expect from a criminal who just figured out he’s hosed. Instead it sounds like the kind of dangerously incoherent ranting that you’d expect from a serial killer who’s been caught in the act. The question of course is whether Donald Trump has slipped into full blown mental incompetence, or if this tweet is a blatant attempt at crafting an insanity defense.
