Trump’s 100+ Posts on Truth Social Sunday Breaks Records

Donald Trump has been making a significant number of social media posts, with over 100 messages in an eleven-hour span. This outburst seems to be his way of coping after the embarrassment he faced on July 4.

On that day, Trump, who is 80 years old, delivered a speech to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary. However, the event was met with sparse attendance and extreme heat. The temperature reached 103 degrees, which led to a temporary evacuation of the National Mall. Trump had promised a “really long speech,” which ended up lasting about 40 minutes.

After reflecting on the events, Trump posted 67 messages on Truth Social within a two-hour period on Sunday. He was particularly active, posting almost every minute between 11:12 a.m. and 1:14 p.m.

After a short break, Trump continued his posting frenzy at 2:19 p.m., adding 30 more posts until 5:33 p.m. He then shared six of his favorite posts, including some vintage family photos, to reach the triple-figure mark. After a few hours of not posting, Trump returned to Truth Social at 10:21 p.m. to share a right-wing article titled, “Fed Reserve working paper suggests Biden illegal immigrant wave drove up home prices 30 percent.”

During this period, Trump shared a variety of images, some of which were quite unusual. This included focusing on his usual opponents.

One such image was a doctored picture of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama on the steps of Air Force One. In Trump’s version, fake graffiti was added to the aircraft, including Obama’s “Yes We Can” campaign slogan with a “Black Lives Matter” tag. Additionally, it features Arabic graffiti that translates to “Praise be to God.”

According to the Associated Press, using graffiti is a “coded message” to reference crime and urban decay. This type of imagery has been used in racist messaging against Black people in the past, the outlet noted.

In February, during the first week of Black History Month, Trump shared a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes, before deleting it after it caused a backlash.

Also on Sunday, Trump posted what appeared to be a side-by-side comparison of his wife, Melania, 56, taken at his inauguration last year, and former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, 78, at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center and Library last month.

While Trump made no comment under the photos, his MAGA supporters were quick to fire off insults about Clinton.

On Sunday, the president also shared an image of him hugging and kissing the American flag, originally taken in February 2020 at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Trump walked to the flag on the stage, hugged and kissed it, and said “I love you baby.”

The barrage of posts included claims that 422,000 people had gathered to hear his speech before severe weather hit for the July 4 event.

Trump also praised his team for putting on “the Most Spectacular Fireworks Show I have ever seen, and I’ve seen them all.”

Trump, who has a history of being obsessed with crowd sizes, made his post a day after videos from the start of his Saturday speech on the National Mall showed noticeable gaps in the audience.

Trump also attempted to re-ignite his feud with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, 49, by captioning a photo with her “Restraining order needed.”

Additionally, Trump re-shared an AI-image of a golden eagle stuck onto the outside of the White House, which he first released last week, as well as a fake billboard that stated “If no one goes to jail for election fraud what incentive is there not to cheat?”

Trump also praised UFC fighter Justin Gaethje, who competed in his UFC birthday brawl at the White House. Gaethje posted that he and his parents had lunch with Trump over the weekend, sharing a photo of them in the Oval Office with the president.

The president also posted a photograph of toothpaste behind a locked door at a drug store. His caption claimed that former President Joe Biden’s solution for stealing dental products was the locked doors to deter shoplifters, while “Trump’s solution” was jail.
