Four minutes before midnight on December 3, 2023, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to respond to former Representative Liz Cheney’s claims that he was depressed after leaving office in 2021. Before briefly paraphrasing the same conversation from Cheney’s memoir “Oath and Honor,” Trump started his post by calling the former Congresswoman “Crazy Liz Cheney, who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome at a level rarely seen before.”
Trump refuted Cheney’s allegation that McCarthy visited him in Florida because he was suffering from poor mental health. He claimed that McCarthy’s visit was an attempt by the speaker to unite the Republican Party with Trump’s support. Trump wrote of his alleged depression, “That statement is not true. I was not depressed, I WAS ANGRY, and it was not that I was not eating, it was that I was eating too much.”
The former president’s apparent confession to overeating was the most confusing part of his response to Cheney, considering increased appetite and weight gain are both symptoms of major depressive disorder, per the Mayo Clinic. And indeed, Trump’s awkward turn of phrase in an otherwise stereotypically fiery post wasn’t the first time his response to comments made by Cheney came across as bizarre.
