Donald Trump erupted in anger early this morning, following a late-night moment that triggered what insiders are calling “one of his most unhinged mornings in months.” According to multiple sources close to Trump’s inner circle, the former president’s rage was sparked by a segment aired late last night that sharply criticized his leadership, mental fitness, and most importantly—his pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel.

It all started with a viral clip aired on national television and subsequently circulated widely online, showing several former intelligence officials and political commentators lambasting Trump’s recent appointments and questioning his grip on reality.

A panel discussion on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour pointed to whistleblower reports and erratic behavior exhibited by Trump’s inner circle—including the now-infamous claims about Kash Patel secretly orchestrating firings before even being confirmed as FBI Director.

But it wasn’t just about Patel. A well-known commentator referred to Trump as “a man unraveling in real time,” drawing attention to his rambling recent speeches, online tirades, and fixation on conspiracy theories. According to one Trump aide, “he watched that clip three times and just got angrier each time.”

Sources say Trump was on the phone before 6 a.m., furiously calling aides, Truth Social staff, and even longtime allies to “set the record straight.” By 7 a.m., a flurry of posts appeared on Truth Social, railing against “the fake news media,” “deep state thugs,” and “MSDNC traitors.”

“I’m the most HONEST and MENTALLY STABLE person to ever serve as President — and everyone knows it!” Trump posted.

“These FOOLS and FAILED generals are just mad because they’re not in charge anymore. I AM.”

By midmorning, Trump’s camp had reportedly begun crafting a press release attacking the cable networks responsible for the segment and demanding a retraction. Aides were said to be scrambling to do damage control, especially as the clip continued to trend across multiple platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and YouTube.

The core of Trump’s fury also lies in the backlash to his FBI Director pick, Kash Patel, a MAGA loyalist with a history of promoting conspiracy theories. Whistleblower revelations about Patel’s demands for polygraph tests, late-night absences from headquarters, and efforts to root out “disloyal” agents have created fresh scandal around Trump’s post-presidency efforts to reassert control over federal institutions.

Senator Richard Blumenthal recently sent a formal letter demanding an inquiry into Patel’s conduct, citing concerns about the politicization of law enforcement. Trump sees this as a personal attack—on his judgment, legacy, and authority.

“Trump hates being seen as weak or manipulated,” said a former White House official. “The idea that his handpicked guy might be out of control or compromised is driving him up the wall.”

The media storm surrounding Trump’s outburst has once again raised questions about his fitness to run in 2025. Political analysts warn that episodes like this—frequent, emotional, and often public—are likely to intensify as legal troubles mount and the campaign season accelerates.

“What we’re seeing is the Trump 2.0 meltdown model,” said political strategist Maria Thorne. “He’s not insulated like he was in office. He’s angrier, more erratic, and more isolated—and that’s a dangerous mix.”

Despite the chaos, Trump’s base remains loyal. His supporters online quickly turned the attack on Kash Patel into a rallying cry against the “deep state,” and donations to Trump’s campaign reportedly spiked after the controversy began trending.

Trump’s morning meltdown is just the latest in what many see as a pattern of impulsive and reactive behavior. Whether it’s a viral news segment, a legal setback, or criticism from former allies, the former president remains highly volatile—and deeply engaged in a fight for control, narrative, and relevance.

As more whistleblower claims surface and scrutiny of his inner circle intensifies, one thing is clear: Trump’s temper isn’t going anywhere—and neither are the controversies that continue to fuel it.
