Donald Trump erupted in a dramatic display of online rage on Thursday, launching a blistering attack against Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto, who had delivered a scathing critique of Trump’s debate performance against Vice President Kamala Harris. In a series of explosive posts on Truth Social, Trump not only tore into Cavuto but also hurled accusations at multiple media outlets, all while indulging in a bizarre spree of cat memes showing him saving the felines from menacing immigrants.
Trump’s fury was sparked by Cavuto’s harsh assessment, where the Fox News anchor labeled Trump’s performance as a “decisive loss,” noting that his presentation was “all over the map” and that the debate was “lopsided.” Cavuto’s comments, featured prominently on MSNBC and in a Harris campaign tweet, clearly hit a nerve.
In response, Trump unleashed a torrent of venomous attacks. He branded Cavuto as “Fox’s Lowest Rated Anchor” and dismissed his critiques with a scathing remark, “I actually prefer the losers at CNN and MSDNC!” This remark highlights Trump’s deep-seated animosity towards Cavuto and his propensity for settling scores with anyone who dares criticize him.
Adding a surreal twist to his rage, Trump interspersed his tirades with a slew of cat memes, a bizarre choice that contrasted sharply with his aggressive rhetoric. He defended his debate performance by lamenting the portrayal of his demeanor, stating, “I won the Debate, but was criticized by the Radical Left Lunatics because I looked ‘angry and forceful.'” Trump’s justification for his apparent fury was a laundry list of grievances against the current administration, including inflation, economic failure, and illegal immigration.

Trump didn’t stop there. He continued his extended rant by asserting that the media’s dismissal of his performance was misguided. “People are just starting to give me credit for having a GREAT DEBATE,” he declared, dismissing critical coverage as “Fake News.” He further lashed out at ABC News, accusing them of “bringing disgrace” with their coverage.
Cavuto’s critique of Trump’s debate performance is part of a broader conversation about the former president’s mental state.
On Thursday, a prominent psychiatrist pointed out signs of mental decline in Trump’s behavior. This assessment is echoed by a panel of swing state voters who told The Bulwark that the debate left them feeling increasingly concerned about Trump’s fitness. Former conservative lawmaker Harold Ford Jr. also weighed in, describing the performance as a “disaster.” “I’ve been hearing from Republican friends,” Ford noted, “and the prevailing sentiment is that it was a ‘trainwreck’ and ‘this has to end.'”
The mounting discussions about Trump’s mental decline highlight growing apprehension about his capability to lead.
