Sundowning president unloads 85 late-night missives on social media
A president awake all night is asleep at the wheel.
Sometime after midnight, while America slept, Grandpa Puddin’ Brains got hold of his phone and let loose a torrent of posts on his personal social network. By morning, 85 posts were excreted into the void.
Not official communication, not crisis management, but an old man with a phone screaming at the sky. Posts ranged from familiar enemies to imagined slights. There was no consistent thread beyond a strange need to keep talking, even when none of it made sense, and no one was listening.
The president made a total of 85 posts over the span of five hours, with many reposts of right-wing clips including posts featuring comment from Elon Musk and Pete Hegseth. Before his reposting spree, Trump lashed out at NATO, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and an advertisement for Melania Trump’s upcoming documentary.
Trump also boasted of “saving TikTok” before his massive spree of reposts on Truth Social. He wrote, “I am so happy to have helped in saving TikTok! It will now be owned by a group of Great American Patriots and Investors, the Biggest in the World, and will be an important Voice.
“Along with other factors, it was responsible for my doing so well with the Youth Vote in the 2024 Presidential Election. I only hope that long into the future I will be remembered by those who use and love TikTok. Thank you to Vice President JD Vance, and all of the others within my Administration, who helped bring this Deal to a very dramatic, final, and beautiful conclusion.
Trump’s excuse makers insist this is “energy,” but really, it is a demonstration that he is not fit. It broadcasts exhaustion, instability, and an addiction to the feedback loop of his most adoring fans.
A president awake all night is asleep at the wheel.
Christ, what an asshole.
and you know he reads every single comment that his staff prints out for him. because they only print the ones that say "Daddy" and not "Pants-shitting old fool"
