Starting at 10:14 p.m. on Monday and finishing at 11:28 p.m., the 79-year-old president posted no fewer than 54 times. Almost none of the posts included his own commentary; instead, many were videos, with commentary provided by his supporters.
Trump started posting again @ 5 AM too.
The vast majority of posts focused on Trumps enemies in the Democratic Party: former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, former presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, and Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona. Trump also went after former FBI Director James Comey and Jack Smith, the special counsel who led criminal probes against him before the 2024 election.
Many of the posts repeated MAGAs favorite conspiracy theories about Russiagate and the 2020 stolen election.

And you can be sure that dementia Donny will fall asleep today and our liberal media will not
say shit about Trump being out to lunch.

(72,485 posts)If he unraveled, we wouldn't have to worry about him any more.
He'll just ravel back up and keep fucking up what was once a great country.

(61,077 posts)We take that laundry list of completely untrue accusations as insane rants and lies. His base, especially those just reading the articles, take the repeated accusations as things that happened.
He has made the coup related claims since 2017. Then they sounded crazy especially when they claimed a sitting President orchestrated a coup. Given Obama was President, how could he have been involved in a coup? Well, in 2020 we saw how a sitting President could lead a coup. However, Obama in 2016 followed protocol, invited Trump to the White House and was part of the 2017 inauguration.
As to Russiagate, the Obama administration had followed the rules as best they could. They did speak of RUSSIA trying to influence the election, but did not claim that the Trump campaign collided with Russia. It wasn't until the Mueller investigation that people in the Trump campaign, including Maniford, were found quilty of doing so. That however happened AFTER Trump was President and Obama had nothing to do with it.
To Trump's base though, this is an allegation they have heard repeatedly for almost a decade now. To them, it is now "a fact". Then since 2021, they have heard how the election was stolen and how the patriots who fought it the hardest were persecuted with trials and jail. In their view, every Trump trial was based on lies and were designed to persecute him. ( Including trials that demonstrated his companies fraud years before he was President and exposed him as a rapist.)
What sounds crazy to us, sounds like a continuation of his seeking justice against the people who used their power to persecute him. What is scary is that he may attack them with more specious law suits. However, the goal might be to disable them from being the elder statesmen of our party.
