Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Gives A State Of Trump Address That's Chilling

Source: Huff Post

Nov 24, 2025, 06:39 AM EST | Updated 6 hours ago


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said President Donald Trump’s death threats to Democratic lawmakers put his mental state in question.

“It’s not just shocking, it’s not just offensive. It’s bizarre, it is erratic, it’s volatile,” she told reporters. “And I think it indicates a mental state that we should all be questioning right now. ... It is not normal to make these accusations. It is not normal to invoke these kinds of threats of violence.”

The progressive lawmaker made the remarks on Friday. Trump has raged at the six Congressional Democrats with military and intelligence backgrounds who issued a video urging service members to refuse “illegal orders.” He continued over the weekend.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), who said threats against her skyrocketed amid Trump’s incendiary attacks, and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) headlined the clip amid murky times for service members. Trump has spearheaded legally disputed federal deployments into blue cities that he says are to curb crime. The administration has also ordered fatal strikes on suspected drug smugglers at sea, raising legal issues.

AOC: The president’s remarks indicate a level of instability.

It’s not just shocking, it’s not just offensive, it’s bizarre, it is erratic, it’s volatile.

I think it indicates a mental state that we should all be questioning right now.

to go grab female service members by the you know what, they would know that's an illegal order and
wouldn't because of the trouble they could get in. But Donvict would view that as a socially acceptable
act because he got away with it. Just because he doesn't see a problem with something doesn't
make it legal in Court.

NO transparency on his health and NO action either. Apparently using the sadistic monster while they continue to destroy our country behind his back

Why not?
“….Don’t take the Brown Acid… I repeat: Don’t take the Brown Acid….”
In any case, it’s a BAD TRIP!

If he was shouting this stuff outside a cardboard house on the street, would you have any reason to believe he wasn’t possibly criminally Insane (if there is even such a thing anymore)? Wouldn’t you cross the street?
