Bill Madden(@maddenifico):Trump's latest Truth Social meltdown at Meet the Press host Kristen Welker wasn't an attack. It was a confession. Trump is so hollowed out by grievance that he can no longer distinguish power from a tantrum. Every time he does this, he isn't owning anyone. He's handing the country another clip of an aging wannabe strongman who can't survive five minutes of questions without coming unglued. The world already wrote him off as a grotesque, self-pitying spectacle. Now a growing number of Americans are catching up: this isn't toughness. It's decay with a microphone. An unfit, psychologically damaged fool who cannot stop humiliating himself and then demanding the country treat the humiliation as strength.
