Maybe Donald Trump is getting the memo every time he wakes up and sees his social media stock swirling the financial toilet bowl. Every time he has a meltdown on Truth Social, it either precedes a huge stock drop, or is the cause of one.

He doesn’t mention his stock, though, even if he does claim the market goes up and down according to his poll numbers.

What he does mention is every crazy thing you can imagine, and he has been on a roll today. It’s not that it’s so much different than what he normally does — making stuff up. It’s that it’s just so loud now, and he’s grasping at straws.

He started out with a tweet about a 38-year-old program being used by the Biden/Harris administration to gather votes from overseas.

“The Democrats are talking about how they’re working so hard to get millions of votes from Americans living overseas. Actually, they are getting ready to CHEAT! They are going to use UOCAVA to get ballots, a program that emails ballots overseas without any citizenship check or verification of identity, whatsoever. (Foreign interference?) Remember they say, we have the “most secure elections in history,” and anyone can get a ballot emailed to them! They want to dilute the TRUE vote of our beautiful military and their families, who Comrade Kamala has totally disrespected and abandoned. Republicans must act to stop them from stealing our military votes. WATCH! Remember, IF YOU VOTE ILLEGALLY, YOU’RE GOING TO JAIL.”

There are approximately 3 million things wrong with this tweet, and they’re all citizens. The UOCAVA, or Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, is a provision in the US code that allows for people (including soldiers) living abroad to vote in our federal elections. There are about 3 million people who fall under the umbrella of its provisions.

But the UOCAVA does not email ballots. You cannot email a ballot, and even if you could email a ballot, it would then have to be printed and mailed back. Because you certainly can’t vote by email.

Everyone who gets a ballot has already provided proof of citizenship. It’s literally in the name of the Act. He’s taking literally the smallest sliver of truth — that UOCAVA exists — and turning it into some nefarious plot designed by Kamala Harris herself to usurp American democracy.

Hey, you’re the guy who tried to overturn the last election, remember? Remember how you got indicted for trying to eradicate democracy?

But fear-mongering is the name of the game for Trump. He quickly moved on from lying about the bipartisan 1986 legislation to lying about immigrants in another hit piece ad. The voiceover in the video clip talks about “Harris policies” (although Kamala Harris has never set any policy on immigration) that’s led to an “invasion” of immigrants.

“Your town could be NEXT!” the video ominously warns.

But the text that Trump tweeted the video with is completely unrelated, with him lying about something entirely different.

Attached to the video about immigrants, Trump thought it was appropriate to talk some more about Kamala’s job at McDonald’s. He’s lying about her former job by claiming she’s lying that she ever worked there.

“Kamala should take down and disavow all of her Statements that she worked for McDonald’s. These Statements go back a long way, and were also used openly throughout the Campaign — UNTIL SHE GOT CAUGHT. She must apologize to the American people for lying!”

No, Donnie. She didn’t stop talking about it. She wasn’t “caught” lying about anything. She worked there. This is like that nonsense with the Haitians. Even after something is completely debunked, Trump keeps repeating it.

First the rumor was that she’d never worked there, which right-wingers claimed McDonald’s had released a statement confirming. They did not. Then they said McDonald’s released a statement saying that Kamala HAD worked there, but was fired for stealing. Again, no such statement.

They say it all without proof, and without responding to requests for proof after they’ve said it. They just keep saying it, and Trump keeps amplifying it.

But aside from that, what does McDonald’s have to do with the immigration scare ad?

The answer is nothing. It’s just Trump’s addled brain, confusing the fact that HE lies constantly with the assumption that other people do, too.

We’ll see what else happens in Trump’s strange brain today. It’s only Monday, after all, and you have to start the week out strong when you’re absolutely nuts and have a reputation to uphold.

UPDATE:

Trump is losing it…even more. Trump issued a lengthy statement escalating his attacks on the Justice Department and FBI, accusing the agencies of going after him for political reasons and having a conflict of interest.

“The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July. The charges brought against the maniac assassin are a slap on the wrist. It’s no wonder, since the DOJ and FBI have been coming after me nonstop with Weaponized Lawfare since I announced my first Historic Campaign for the Presidency.”

He cited the numerous legal cases against him, including the case over his handling of classified documents, the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and charges over his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.

Trump also cited cases unrelated to the Justice Department or FBI, such as his impeachments while in office and fraud charges against him in New York. The man is DESPERATE.

He also pointed to FBI Director Christopher Wray’s comments in late July after the first attempt on Trump’s life in which Wray left open the possibility Trump was struck by something other than a bullet. The bureau later issued a statement clarifying Trump was hit by a bullet, either fragmented or whole. One that miraculously caused no lasting damage to Trump’s ear. Hmmmm.

“It’s very difficult to trust the Biden/Harris DOJ/FBI to investigate the assassination attempts, due to Election Interference and the FAKE CASES brought against me, including their control over local D.A.s and A.G.s,” Trump said.

“If the DOJ and FBI cannot do their job honestly and without bias, and hold the aspiring assassin responsible to the full extent of the Law, Governor Ron DeSantis and the State of Florida have already agreed to take the lead on the investigation and prosecution,” Trump said. “Florida charges would be much more serious than the ones the FBI has announced… LET FLORIDA HANDLE THE CASE!”
