The internet erupted on Monday after President Donald Trump posted his latest scathing rant at "unpatriotic people" on Truth Social.
Trump claimed in a lengthy Truth Social post that his administration is "winning the War by a lot," referring to the conflict in Iran that has been raging since late February. The president also called out some of his regular enemies, such as the "Fake News" New York Times and Wall Street Journal for their coverage of the war, and "unpatriotic people" who fought him during the 2024 election.
"The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Just like these unpatriotic people used every ounce of their limited strength to fight me in the Election, they continue to do so with Iran. The result will be the same — It already is!"
Political analysts and observers reacted to the post on social media.
"Sure, big guy. Sure. Keep telling yourself that," Leah McElrath, a writer and activist, posted on Bluesky.
