The public outburst followed a major humiliation where the Supreme Court ruled he exceeded his authority by imposing global tariffs under national emergency laws. Trump’s volatile reaction to being told he cannot "charge a dollar" led many observers to suggest he is clearly unwell and requires immediate medical attention.

Observers expressed alarm over Trump’s ominous warnings during his rant, where he claimed he had the power to "destroy the country" or "destroy the trade" via embargoes. This dark rhetoric, combined with his furious public reaction, has intensified calls from critics for the President to be removed from office due to his perceived mental state.

While attending a breakfast with governors, Trump reportedly branded the judicial verdict a “disgrace”. His inability to maintain composure, described by some as a “huge tantrum,” has led to social media users and commentators demanding he undergo urgent "mental checkups" to determine his fitness for the rigors of the presidency.

Concerns about Trump being severely unwell were further heightened by reports of him appearing to fall asleep just moments before his televised outburst. The combination of physical exhaustion and manic behavior has created a narrative of a president in the midst of a significant health or psychological crisis.
