'Enfeebled, confused narcissist': Hits keep coming after Trump's conviction speech

Donald Trump took a brutal beating online Friday as he went on ameandering speech the morning after his felony conviction.

Trump spoke for more than 30 minutes, rambling about many of the same things he's said at his campaign rallies. Attacking immigrants, Trump spoke about the Chinese before quickly pivoting to other issues – including many references to the unfairness of his trial.

All of it prompted observers to question the man who once described himself as "a very stable genius."

"Donald Trump rambling like an enfeebled, confused narcissist recounting his own conviction is precisely why more Democrats should be talking about Trump's conviction," said former Barack Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer on X.

YouTube host Brian Tyler Cohen pointed out that the panel of judges that will decide Trump's appeal is the first ever all-Black, all-female appellate branch.

ABC News investigative reporter Will Steakin noted Trump "has been speaking for 30 minutes." However, MSNBC host Katie Phang responded, "I think 'speaking' is generous."

Los Angeles Times legal columnist Harry Litman pointed out, "We'll be playing out the verdict's implications and feeling its aftershocks for months. For today there's an almost Armageddon dynamic between Trump's ever deeper darkness and the light of the rule of law."

Trump even went "so far as to call President Biden a Manchurian candidate, implying he is controlled by foreign powers," said CNN host Kasie Hunt.

It was something Trump foe George Conway said helped indicate, "Trump is losing it."

Reformed Republican Tim Miller posted, "With badly fading hair dye, Trump is currently rambling incoherently about 'confliction' and having his witnesses 'literally crucified.'"

Attorney Andrew Fleischman flamed, "They haven't forged nails strong enough."

Vanity Fair correspondent Joe Hagan quipped, "In the moral and ethical limbo game of American politics, Donald Trump is an Olympiad."

"He falsely claimed that American children couldn’t play Little League Baseball games anymore because undocumented immigrants were setting up too many tents," Hagan said.

Professor and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich quoted Trump as saying, "If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone."

"Yes," replied Reich. "If you commit 34 felonies by filing false business records to cover up election interference, you too can be convicted by a jury of your peers via the due process of our criminal justice system."

Former West Virginia state Senator Richard Ojeda posted an image of Trump's golden sneaker with an ankle monitor attached at the high top.
