Donald Trump’s latest post on his media platform, Truth Social, has sparked a wave of ridicule and criticism. The former president’s early morning message, which was posted at approximately 6:25 a.m. on Monday, took aim at President Joe Biden and included a series of unsubstantiated claims.
Trump’s post began with a peculiar assertion about Biden’s memory. “It’s a new day and Joe Biden doesn’t remember quitting the race yesterday!” Trump wrote. He then went on to claim that Biden was “demanding his campaign schedule and arranging talks with Presidents Xi of China, and Putin of Russia, concerning the possible start of World War 3.”
In a bizarre twist, Trump seemed to praise Biden in the latter part of his message, stating, “Biden is ‘sharp, decisive, energetic, angry, and ready to go!’” The context or source of this quotation was unclear, and Raw Story reported being unable to find any previous comment that matched Trump’s quote.
The source of Trump’s claims remains unknown, and there was no evidence provided to support his assertions. The night before, Trump had accused Biden of lying about having COVID-19, further contributing to the confusion surrounding his statements.
Trump’s post quickly attracted attention and derision from users on Truth Social, the conservative media platform owned by a company bearing Trump’s name. Several users expressed disbelief and frustration at Trump’s comments.
One user, @TheTrueHeathen, responded bluntly, “NONE of that is true you babbling baboon. Seriously Maga stop falling for this bull—-. Trump is psychotic and his close call now has him rattled and paranoid.”
Another user, identifying as Anti-Republican, wrote, “Your fear is showing. If you truly care about the country step down like him. Give us a chance to run someone with a chance.”
@Susan67042 offered sarcastic advice to Trump, “Donald, I encourage you to stick with what you know. Tell us about your MIT uncle, sharks vs boats, and the crowd-pleaser, as well as the story about the snake. We loved it when you mentioned your friend Hannibal Lecter. You got this.”
The criticism didn’t stop there. @NotTheOrangeGuy added, “You’re a joke. Move on! Stop playing make-believe pretend with the American people’s lives! You old fat moron!”
Trump’s early morning message and the subsequent reactions highlight the ongoing tensions and divisions within the conservative community. As the 2024 election approaches, such exchanges are likely to become even more frequent and intense.
