Former President Trump recently took to Truth Social to lambast former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY), referring to her as a “crazy” person suffering from what he coined as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” This comes in response to claims made by Cheney in her new book suggesting that Trump was depressed and not eating following the 2020 elections.

In his post, Trump denied these allegations, stating, “I was not depressed, I was ANGRY, and it was not that I was not eating, it was that I was eating too much.” He went on to assert that Kevin McCarthy’s visit to Mar-a-Lago after the election was not out of concern for his well-being but to seek his support and unite the Republican Party.

Trump also criticized Cheney’s role on the J6 Committee, accusing her of working with others to “delete and destroy the evidence and findings of the committee.” Cheney, during her final term in Congress, helped lead the bipartisan select committee investigating the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol. The committee concluded that Trump played a role in instigating violence that day, a conclusion that has been strongly criticized by Trump and his allies.

Cheney’s outspoken criticism of Trump and her support for Joe Biden’s reelection bid have drawn ire from many within her party. She has warned that the Republican Party, in backing Trump, is “sleepwalking into dictatorship.”

Despite the opposition from figures like Cheney, Trump continues to command significant support within the Republican Party. Newly appointed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) along with 83 GOP congressmen and 13 U.S. senators have pledged their support to Trump.

In conclusion, the exchange between Trump and Cheney highlights the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party. While figures like Cheney warn of the dangers of a potential Trump second term, others see him as the key to uniting the party and securing future victories.
