Trump 'spiraling out of control' as Truth Social tirade sees hundreds of posts: report

Donald Trump may be "spiraling out of control" after going on a Truth Social tirade, posting countless screenshots from X accounts.

The president spent hours posting and reposting to Truth Social, with many of his entries focusing on debunked conspiracy theories, preceding President Joe Biden, and far-right commentators. A post to X from Republicans Against Trump suggested the president is "spiraling" and his attacks on the likes of Barack Obama and Biden make it clear.

The account's post reads, "Trump spent hours last night blasting out hundreds of posts filled with 2020 lies, Jan 6 lies, and furious attacks on Biden, Obama, and many others. He is spiraling out of control." Attached was a near five-minute video showing what Trump had been posting to his Truth Social account.

One post from Trump saw the president share a video alleging Michelle Obama had used President Biden's autopen in the final days of his presidency. The wild claim, purported by Info Wars, was shared directly to Trump's Truth Social feed.

Trump had already added further fuel to the conspiracy shared by Info Wars, claiming he would terminate all Biden orders signed with an autopen.

The president shared, "Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect."

Trump has frequently alleged that the Biden administration forged the Democrat leader's signature using an autopen to sign off on broader actions he was not aware of. While there is no evidence to support this, it's a claim Trump has shared several times. His most recent claim of this occurring had him dubbed a "lunatic" by concerned members of the public.

Taking to Truth Social, the president shared a screenshot from far-right conspiracy site InfoWars. Alex Jones made an unfounded claim that Michelle Obama "may have used" Biden's autopen during his time in office.

The full claim reads, "Michelle Obama may have used Biden's autopen in the final days of his disastrous administration to pardon key individuals." While the claim from Patrick Byrne is absurd, it falls in line with the president's thoughts on Biden's autopen.

'Get back to work': Trump threatens 'true patriots' will replace air traffic controllers

Donald Trump has issued a clear message to air traffic controllers currently unpaid amid the government shutdown — "get back to work".

In a post made to his Truth Social account, the president made it clear that those who were not returning to work immediately would have their pay "substantially docked." Those who had not stopped working during what Trump dubbed the "Democrat Shutdown Hoax" were told they could receive up to $10,000 for their "distinguished service".

Trump wrote, "All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially 'docked.' For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the 'Democrat Shutdown Hoax,' I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country.

"For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind!"

"Trump continued, "You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering.

"The last 'Administration' wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated 'junk.' They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU - I won’t be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP."

The Senate will reconvene later today to end the longest government shutdown in history. A 60-40 majority was reached earlier today after the Republicans gained eight Democrat votes.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy had previously warned the government shutdown could reduce flights "to a trickle". He told CNN yesterday, "You're going to see air travel be reduced to a trickle. Many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane, because there are not going to be that many flights that fly if this thing doesn't open back up."

'Dirty cop!' Trump unleashes rant on enemies and people he fired

President Donald Trump unleashed a rant on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, calling a former FBI agent he fired a "dirty cop" and listing out the names of his enemies and other people he has beefed with.

The president is traveling across Asia — where he made a cringe-inducing impersonation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea — and issued a heated early morning tirade on multiple nemeses.

"Former FBI Agent Walter Giardina is a DIRTY COP! He should be, along with Deranged Jack Smith, the sinister team of Lisa Monaco and Andrew Weissmann, Liddle’ Jay Bratt, Norm Eisen and his FAKE Charity, CREW, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Thomas Windom, who dreamt up the corrupt J-6 Witch Hunt, should be investigated, immediately. They are a disgrace to our Nation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Giardina, a Washington-based veteran special agent, was informed he was fired in August and was among several agents ousted under what they called Trump’s “campaign of retribution." He was among the group of people who fought back against Trump, resisting giving the names of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigation.

'Let's just be clear!' CNN host gets stern as former Trump official protests fact check

Economist Stephen Moore, who served as senior economic advisor during Donald Trump's first term, appeared on CNN to support the president's claim that the latest job report put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics was "rigged" against him.

Trump fired BLS head Erika McEntarfer over the lackluster jobs report last week, and posted to Truth Social Monday claiming, "Last weeks [sic] Job’s [sic] Report was RIGGED, just like the numbers prior to the Presidential Election were Rigged. That’s why, in both cases, there was massive, record setting revisions, in favor of the Radical Left Democrats."

Moore agreed that the numbers coming out are "just not accurate, and there are a lot of reasons for that, but they're getting worse and worse in each passing month and each passing year."

Moore added that he would have fired McEntarfer "not for political reasons, but just because I don't think they're doing a very good job."

"These are probably the most closely watched numbers that come out each month as a barometer for how the economy is doing," Moore continued. "We want accuracy, and right now, we're not getting accuracy. These revisions are larger than they've ever been before, and that means we're just not doing it very well."

But host Breanna Keilar jumped in, saying, "So, we should note that actually downward revisions have been, on average, smaller since 2003. You've noted before that survey responses have decreased, but the initial jobs reports have actually been more accurate than 2003. And I just want to note that what the president is saying —"

Moore started to protest, but Keilar persisted.

"Stephen, let's just be clear what the president is saying here. It's something different. You know revisions — Stephen, can we just get to the heart of this matter? Because revisions are not unusual."

'Lunacy': MAGA fans freak out over Trump nuclear threat

Social media blew up Friday as MAGA supporters reacted to President Donald Trump's nuclear threat against Russia over comments made by Dmitry Medvedev.

Medvedev, the former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the Russian Federation's security council, sent a message to Trump this week reminding him "that Moscow possessed Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities of last resort."

On Truth Social, Trump wrote Friday, "Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump wrote, adding, "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances."

Although many MAGA commentators supported the president's move, still others were alarmed by it.

"This is lunacy," wrote @andrewmaga84.

@SimonSaysKnow, whose followers include Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), wrote, "This is how wars are started."

Author Juanita Broaddrick expressed her shock to her nearly two million followers, "Whoa!!! Always scary when you hear about any confrontations with Russia."

The account of @unbaffle_me was concerned that Trump gave away too much national security information in his post.

"How often do we make public where and when we position our nuclear submarines? I can tell you - never. Absolutely never," they wrote.

Commentator Fake Vivek agreed, posting, "We shouldn’t be announcing any strategic moves to the world."

Trump supporter @JamesKInFlorida wrote, "More broken promises."

@professornez simply wrote, "HOLY...."

"This is f----- absurd. He said he’d end the Ukraine Russia conflict before he even took office. This puts American lives at risk," wrote political commentator @DMichaelTripi.

Retired newsman Kurt Schemers lamented, "....so it begins."

On Truth Social, Trump supporter @brookstucker wrote, "the question is...War, who is it good for?..." while self-described MAGA supporter @abdulalitpp wrote, "Mr President it's not a good idea to fight with Russia. Thank you for attention to this matter. Peace."

'It’s just better!' Trump wins back MAGA with 'cane sugar Coke' announcement

President Donald Trump took a break from insulting his MAGA followers Wednesday to shift the country's focus to his beverage company of choice.

Trump started his day posting two Truth Social screeds calling his own base "stupid" and "weaklings" for believing what he termed "the Epstein hoax." By the end of the day, however, his tone had substantially softened.

Although the president has been known to drink several Diet Cokes in a day, Trump gleefully made the cane sugar announcement to his 10 million followers on Truth Social.

"I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump wrote . "I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!"

MAGA seemed to forget all about Trump's earlier name-calling and celebrated his Coke announcement with fanfare.

"WOW! I never thought this could be done. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!" wrote MAGA influencer Bo Loudon.

The account of MAGA Voice wrote, "President Trump has PERSONALLY convinced Coca-Cola to use REAL Cane Sugar. IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. FINALLY.

MAGA influencer @HansMahncke wrote, "Only Trump could walk into the room and rewrite the Coca-Cola formula."

Political commentator Ian Jaeger called the announcement "HUGE!" while self-described "January 6th political prisoner" Anthony Constantino wrote, "Which cola do you support? I’m with @CocaCola. MAHA!"

RedWavePress posted, "Make America Healthy Again!" while the account of @ZaidJilani took "health" out of the equation altogether, posting, "Coca Cola is not healthy for you no matter what they put in it. Drink sparkling water."


'Angrier by the minute': Trump's insults 'not going to sit well' with MAGA base

CNN correspondent Kristen Holmes claimed Wednesday that President Donald Trump was getting "angrier by the minute" over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, as evidenced by Wednesday's attack on his own MAGA base.

During an Oval Office meeting with the Crown Prince of Bahrain, Trump chastised "stupid Republicans" who "fell for the Epstein hoax." His attack followed a morning Truth Social rant, in which Trump blamed his "PAST supporters" for buying into "this 'bull----,' hook, line, and sinker."

"Just because President Trump himself wasn't the biggest proponent or perpetuator of these Epstein conspiracy theories, he did put three of the most vocal people who had said that they wanted to release this list into top jobs within his administration," Holmes said. "Of course, being Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and FBI Director Kash Patel. Now you see him completely backing away from this and also really doing it with a slap in the face to some of his most ardent supporters."

Holmes added that "you can see how much angrier he's getting by the minute over this Epstein coverage."

Holmes disavowed the notion that the Epstein conspiracy theorists were "just some fringe part of his base," and called his words "deeply insulting to the people who put him in office."

"That is clearly not going to sit well, despite where this ends, because obviously we can't again predict where this goes," Holmes said. "But that is not the message that these people who helped him get elected want to hear."

New Trump threat poised to send medication prices soaring

At a cabinet meeting Tuesday, President Donald Trump floated the idea of imposing a 200% tariff rate on pharmaceuticals, which could cause the cost of medications to skyrocket.

"We'll be announcing something very soon on pharmaceuticals," Trump said. "We're gonna give people about a year, a year-and-a-half to come in, and after that, they're gonna be tariffed if they have to bring the pharmaceuticals into the country — the drugs and other things into the country — they're going to be tariffed at a very high rate, like 200 percent. We'll give them a certain period of time to get their act together."

Forbes reported that the enormous tariff rate, "could affect some $200 billion in imports and raise prices on Americans’ medications if it takes effect."

In May, Trump signed an executive order, which he touted as "one of the most consequential executive orders in our country's history," that he claimed would lower drug prices by "30% to 80%."

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, "I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS."

It wasn't clear how Trump's executive order from May would interact with a 200% tariff rate if it were implemented a year from now.

'SleazeBags': Trump rages over report of 'dishonesty' that was proven in court

In his latest attack on the press, Donald Trump called out another reporter by name for writing unflattering investigative pieces on the president and his business ventures.

Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday, "Not that it really matters, but a terribly untalented writer for badly failing Forbes Magazine, Dan Alexander, who probably can’t get a meaningful job in the business, has written so inaccurately about me that it is ridiculous."

Alexander's latest article focused on the Trump Organization's "dishonesty" over the size of its properties — an issue that was central to New York Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud lawsuit against Trump in 2024 that resulted in a $355 million judgment against him, effectively barring him from doing business in the state.

"Donald Trump spent so many years lying about the square footage of his properties that his own company did not even seem sure of their true size," the article began.

Another recent article dealt with Trump's "crypto venture," with Alexander writing, "While the MAGA faithful continues throwing money at Trump’s crypto projects, the first family appears to be walking off with some of its profits."

And still another focused on Trump's youngest son, Barron, with the title, "How Barron Trump May Have Earned $40 Million From His Dad's Crypto Venture."

The president's post continued, "Many others also, the media is mostly Fake News, but Forbes doesn’t even try to get things right. I haven’t spoken to these SleazeBags in years, they don’t want the facts, and they’re so inaccurate (purposely!) about everything. I would have thought Forbes would be DEAD by now, but it continues to hang around like a bad disease. Isn’t it owned by a hostile nation? Anyway, that’s what happens when you have bad reporters with evil intentions. Eventually the publication dies. I’ve happily seen it over, and over, again!"

Last week, Trump demanded that CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand be thrown out "like a dog" for "lying" on the Iran "Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad when, in fact, they did a GREAT job and hit 'pay dirt' — TOTAL OBLITERATION!"

'Must be ready': Trump leans on GOP lawmakers as megabill deadline looms

As the clock ticks down for Congress to pass Donald Trump's megabill that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claimed would be passed by July 4, the president is leaning hard on Senate Republicans to get the job done.

"The Great Republicans in the U.S. Senate are working all weekend to finish our 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social before listing the litany of benefits to average Americans.

"We are on the precipice of delivering Massive General Tax Cuts, NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR OUR SENIORS, Permanently Securing our Borders, an even Bigger and More Powerful Military (I rebuilt it during my First Term, and it is already the Best, but we will make it BETTER!), unleashing our American Economy, dominating the Energy Market, creating Jobs, and getting money back to American Families."

Trump made no mention of the contentious issues of cutting Medicaid or offering tax cuts for the wealthy, and increasing the federal debt by trillions. He then put House Republicans on notice.

"The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my desk before July 4th — We can get it done. It will be a wonderful Celebration for our Country, which is right now, 'The Hottest Country anywhere in the World' — And to think, just last year, we were a laughingstock. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
