Harry Sisson blasts Trump's Mother's Day social media activity as a 'meltdown'

Harry Sisson, a political commentator and social media influencer, took aim at President Donald Trump's social media activity on Mother's Day (May 10), calling it a "meltdown" of a "lunatic." Sisson, a staunch Trump critic, has been among the most prominent voices questioning the President's mental acuity and his ability to lead the United States.

In fact, Sisson has consistently raised concerns about Trump's cognitive capabilities. For instance, he recently wrote in response to a post claiming Trump was "aging in reverse" that the president falls "asleep in meetings on a daily basis". He also chatacterized Trump's frenetic posting activity on May 10 as a sign of a "mental health episode".

Sisson, who is known for posting political videos on TikTok and other platforms, recently called for Trump to take the Presidential Fitness Test "in front of the entire country." This is after he had already challenged him to take a cognitive test through an independent doctor. "He keeps bragging about these tests so do it in front of everyone. We’ll be waiting!" he wrote on X.

In another post, he pointed out Trump's inability to keep his eyes open during an event at the White House. "He’s not fighting for you; he’s fighting off the REM cycle. His decline is real," Sisson warned, calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. It establishes formal procedures for replacing the president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation.

Trump, at 79 years old, became the oldest person in American history to take the presidential oath at his second inauguration in 2025. He will become the oldest sitting president if he continues until August 15, 2028. This has fuelled public concern as to whether he is fit to hold office.

California Governor Gavin Newsom suggested that Trump's brain was in decline after he rambled over the difference between "sea" and "see." He also challenged Trump to a "live cognitive test on national television," joking that he would let him have three lifelines.

Trump rubbished questions around his cognitive abilities, declaring that he took three tests and aced all of them. "I'm the only President to take a cognitive test. The first question is very easy. It's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say: which one is the bear?" he said in his remarks addressing the crowd at The Villages Charter School in Florida.

The President, in an interaction with reporters, said that everyone running for President or Vice President should take a cognitive test. He again offered an example of the first question in the test, but with a slight change: "You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. Which is the squirrel?" he asked.
