As part of a weird online tantrum, Trump calls for Obamas arrest (again)

If Trumps rage-tweeting offers a window into the presidents mind, Obama clearly dominates the incumbents psyche in unhealthy ways.

Common sense might suggest that Donald Trump would have been quite busy on Monday night. After all, the president was poised to board Air Force One
for a trip to China one day later, so it stood to reason that he would take some time to huddle with his team as part of the preparations.

But between 10:14 p. m. and 1:12 a. m. ET, the Republican wasnt focused on Beijing at all. Instead, he posted 55 messages to his social media
platform, all of which were bizarre, offensive, conspiratorial or some combination thereof.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trumps late-night social media storms offer a window into the presidents mind. Unfortunately, thats true, though what the public sees when they peer through this window is a powerful man
who appears deeply troubled.

Theres obviously no point in shining a light on all 55 items from Trumps online tantrum, but one of the common threads tying together many of the
posts is the presidents fixation on Barack Obama. One item the Republican amplified, for example, accused the former Democratic president of
attempting a coup in 2016, while another suggested that Obama secretly conspired with the CIA against Trump. One alleged that Obama has benefited financially from Obamacare royalties (an unintentionally hilarious claim stemming from a satirical website), while another accused the former
president of having committed the most heinous crimes committed in American history.

In one especially notable instance, Trump also posted a quote from
Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana that was entirely made up.

This is just a sampling from a ridiculous list, though it was of particular interest to see the incumbent president call for his predecessors arrest.
The Washington Post reported:

President Donald Trump shared a Truth Social post late Monday night that called for the arrest of Barack Obama, accusing the former president of treason, without evidence. [... ]

Arrest them all. Prosecute them all. Incarcerate them all at once for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. But first, Barack Obama, the end of the post read.

That conclusion was bonkers. The rest of the missive, which Trump promoted
and amplified but did not personally write, wasnt any better.

Trump can't stand that people like an articulate, smart,
physically fit black man better than his pudding ass.

And he let's that complex rule him. ODS.
