Donald Trump challenged the strength of NATO in one of his nearly 100 posts to Truth Social in the middle of the night.
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.
"I would also like to thank President Xi, of China, for working with us and, ultimately, approving the Deal. He could have gone the other way, but didn’t, and is appreciated for his decision. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP."
Another post from the president hit out at NATO, suggesting the peace treaty members should be brought to the border of America and Mexico.
Trump wrote, "Maybe we should have put NATO to the test: Invoked Article 5, and forced NATO to come here and protect our Southern Border from further Invasions of Illegal Immigrants, thus freeing up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks."
The president also lashed out at Newsom, writing, "Gavin Newscum, as a “Lame Duck” Governor of a Failing State, should not be at Davos running around screaming for the attention of Foreign Leaders, and embarrassing our Country. He made a mockery of himself, and everybody, including his staff, knows it!
"He should get the permits so that people can build their homes destroyed by the fire that he could have prevented if he would have allowed water to flow from the Pacific Northwest. He should finish his monstrously 'overbudget and behind schedule' Railroad, from San Francisco to L.A., one of the Greatest Public Disasters in History, and focus on stopping Crime in the streets of California Cities — Then finish out his term, and GO HOME!
"With a record like he’s got, the ruination of one of the most beautiful places on Earth, where people are leaving in droves, it is unimaginable that he could run for President but, who knows, it’s a very strange World!"
Over 80 of the posts were reposts from Trump, with clips of Musk and Hegseth featured alongside screenshots of Newsmax magazine.
