Trump Fires Off Over 160 Truth Social Posts in Frenetic, Late-Night Blitz

Source: Mediaite.com

President Donald Trump unleashed a frenetic, late-night posting binge on Monday, flooding Truth Social with more than 160 posts in less than five hours, in a wild spectacle that saw him teeing off on political opponents and policies. From 7 p.m. to nearly midnight (ET), the president reposted an endless stream of clips, some of which were duplicated in what appeared to be an automatic loop, amplifying MAGA-friendly pundits and conspiracy theories.

The torrent swung between nostalgia – including a ‘Make Christmas Great Again’ video featuring Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2 – and a parade of attacks on his usual Democratic targets, from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and former President Barack Obama. Among them was a clip of Alex Jones, featuring Bed, Bath and Beyond founder Patrick Byrne, whose video carried the bizarre caption: “Michelle Obama may have used Biden’s autopen in the final days of his disastrous administration to pardon key individuals.” Other posts lauded his vow to nullify all of Biden’s Autopen orders.

He also posted what appeared to be an AI-generated video of Elon Musk discussing Trump’s vow to “immediately” revoke temporary protections for Somali migrants. Even Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) was branded a “traitor” — again — in one of the few posts that the president authored himself as Trump rounded on the Democrat and his colleagues who featured in the now-infamous “illegal orders” video of encouraging military personnel to disobey him.

He also demanded the release of disgraced Colorado election official Tina Peters, who is serving a nine-year sentence, writing: “Colorado, FREE TINA PETERS, NOW.” The spree veered into other theatrics, with clips of users complaining about TikTok strikes and a repost of the moment he called a journalist “stupid.” Despite the late night, the president was awake by 5:48 a.m. Tuesday to proclaim: “TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST! There is nothing even close!!!”

Either way, he's off the rails. Though that's been a given for years... only now, his handlers have to come to terms with it, as well as his fan base making ever-bolder excuses for his behavior.

Created THIS particular Frankenstein's Monster, have kept him in place, and now.....they don't know what the fuck to do with him because he is out of their control, along with all his MAGAot voters.
Trump developed a CULT like following of 70 Million voters,, brainwashing them with their constant viewing of FOX as their only news source....Aided every step of the way by the Republican Senate, House, and most certainly by the most fraudulent and corrupt United States Supreme Court.
Oh.......and we mustn't forget the covert assistance of Putin from 2015 forwards, the new Robber Barrons, and Elon Musk, who Trump openly thanked during the last election for Musk's amazing ability "to work with computers".......

Personally, I think he's going to slip into a dementia state, before too long. His mind is already showing signs of it, and there's only so many treatments that are truly effective. My concern is that the ones surrounding him are going to keep him in power, even tho he's totally mentally incapacitated and should be replaced by the VP.

For 5 hours straight. Seems to me like propaganda bot is working in his behalf rather than an actual person - even a person high on a lot of coke. I mean, how can a demented 79 year old work the keys that fast? Finding what to repost, etc… for 5 hours straight? Plugging in prompts to AI to generate videos, etc… Seems suspect to me that it was actually him. I think he’s got a few Russian-style bots doing his dirty work.

Edited to add- he was amazed Barron knew how to turn on a computer not all that long ago- so with that in mind- what happened last night seems even more suspect to me. That orange shit-stain is NOT that savvy on a computer.

With his blessing. His order. It’s on him 100%. I just don’t think he’s capable of firing off a new post every 2 minutes for 5 hours straight. He doesn’t have that kind of stamina. I don’t think any human does, frankly. That’s an insane amount of work for a long time. No break.

Chump has an entire staff of writers, and all they do is dream up shit that he can post on his Xwitter-Truth Social feeds. I'll bet the writers even type the posts for him, since he's so lazy and he makes too many errors with his fat fingers and his bad eyesight.

It's an entire industry now ... and Chump isn't the only one doing it. Look at Gavin Newsom's posts on BlueSky ... he has a PR staff writing those things.

Comparing his speech patterns and writing patterns from his previous posts going back to his twitter battles with Jon Stewart and Rosie O'Donnell along with the simple volume of BS, it's obvious that there is a team of posters pushing MAGA talking points under his account. They are probably directed by Steve Bannon.

who is trying to influence peers and get friends to choose their side in a squabble or break-up with a short-term romantic interest.

Sadly, more adults do this than one would imagine. I have relatives who have been long-since remarried but still engage in public social-media feuds with their ex-spouse and/or ex-inlaws... obsessed with dragging the other through the mud in arguments that have long since been legally settled and mostly forgotten by anyone who was aware at the time. But being "right" (or at least seen as being right) and having the imaginary upper-hand is all that's important to them. --- And those inlaws aren't too bright either. MAGA-lite.

A senator said with a sigh,
“These leaders aren’t serious—why?”
On the Sunday news chair,
He declared on the air
That their antics were hard to deny.

A general, clearly perturbed,
Found a meme to be rather absurd:
A turtle with gear
Firing rockets with cheer—
Online, by a guy seen as a turd.

The world, watching each new headline,
Sees a nation that’s toeing a fine line;
With chaos and spin,
And reposts poured in,
It worries how long it’ll all shine.

A posting spree rapid and vast—
More than most fingers could blast—
Each minute a shout
Of opinions thrown out;
It all scrolled by dizzyingly fast.

Some wondered, “Who picks this whole crew?
A lineup so wild and askew?”
From weekend TV,
To advisors with glee
For plans that no grown-ups might do.

If one tried to craft, with a grin,
A plot where the grown-ups don’t win,
The script might align
With today’s storyline—
A satire too strange to begin.

I don't believe for a minute that he's capable of making this much content himself. He doesn't seem to have the verbal skills or the patience to stick to task for very long. That would suggest that he's got an aide/aides running it for him.

On the other hand, the apparent bursts of juvenile emotion like this seem to belie the idea that a bot or an aide is running it for him.
