'Insane': Observers stunned by bombshell report on Trump's Truth Social activity

Political observers and analysts were stunned on Wednesday after the Wall Street Journal released a bombshell new report about President Donald Trump's activity on his personal social media network, Truth Social.

The Journal reported that Trump meant to send his September 20 post telling Attorney General Pam Bondi that the administration was "losing credibility" by not prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey as a direct message. Instead, Trump posted it publicly, which caused Bondi to move forward with prosecuting Comey, according to the report.

The report led observers and analysts to conclude that Trump may be conducting state business on his social media network, which may violate federal law and be used to evade accountability for illicit acts.

"I know everyone on this site cares passionately about the information security habits of top Government officials, but the President of the United States communicating with his cabinet via Truth Social direct message is both insane and a violation of the Presidential Records Act," former Obama administration staffer Dan Pfeiffer posted on X.

"The president is using direct messages on a private social media app (that he owns) to communicate with his attorney general," journalist Scott Nover posted on X.

"There's zero chance that this administration is preserving any of their communications," attorney Kevin Baum posted on X.

"Mostly i just can’t believe he uses truth social to DM people," former Obama staffer Tommy Vietor posted on X. "Must be convenient for all the foreign intel services."

"Pundit accountability: I said it was just Trump being weird and not an errant DM," ex-GOP strategist Tim Miller posted on X. "He’s even stupider than a TDS inflicted podcaster realizes. We regret the error."
