George Conway sounds chilling alarm after Trump's late-night Truth Social spree

After Trump went on a late-night Truth Social frenzy, a former GOP insider couldn't help but compare it to the 2004 movie "Downfall."

George Conway, the former husband of right-wing commentator Kellyanne Conway, told political journalist Molly Jong-Fast on a Tuesday episode of her podcast that the meltdown resembled the movie about Adolf Hitler's last 10 days alive in a bunker.

"This is what happens when a narcissistic sociopath is cornered," Conway said. "They become more desperate, more delusional, and more dangerous."

Trump posted more than 50 times on Truth Social late at night on Monday. The posts railed against Obama and Biden, pushed false claims about the 2020 election, touted his renovations of the Reflecting Pool, and imagined himself on the $100 bill.

For Conway, it reminded him of the historical drama "Downfall" because of its scenes where Hitler is going on loud German tirades and pitching ideas to win the war as bombs drop on his bunker.

"That's where Donald Trump is," Conway continued. "He's only going to get worse, not better. And the most important thing to remember for our current circumstance is that we cannot survive 32 months more of what we've seen over the last sixteen."

'Pathetic!!!': Trump loses it as he watches his foe having a fun time on TV

President Donald Trump apparently couldn't stand watching one of his main foes laughing and having a good time on national television.

"Pathetic!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday, along with a video of former FBI Director James Comey chatting it up with late-night host Stephen Colbert.

Comey walked Colbert, another Trump target, through the story about his famous "86 47" seashell Instagram picture. Trump is pushing for an indictment of Comey, saying the photo was a threat against him.

Trump fumed at Comey in another Truth Social post that came three minutes after Trump's reaction to the Colbert clip. In the second post, Trump shared a video of Comey speaking on MSNBC and saying that he's under indictment "for walking the beach with my wife."

"I don't know how we ended up here," Comey laughed. "But that's the time we lived in."

"Does anybody believe this guy???" Trump reacted in his post. "A Dirty Cop!!!"

Trump's Truth Social hemorrhages $400M in three months as MAGA CEO bolts

Trump's social media platform is struggling as it just reported more than $400 million in losses during the most recent quarter, according to recent reports.

Truth Social, run by the Trump Media and Technology Group, reported a net loss of more than $400 million and less than $1 million in total sales during the first three months of 2026, according to a Variety article on Friday.

Most of the losses came from "non-cash losses, including unrealized losses on digital assets, digital assets pledged and equity securities," according to a press release from Trump Media and Technology Group. Variety noted that the losses come after former GOP Rep. Devin Nunes suddenly left as the company's CEO last month.

Trump fumes at Fox News for covering 'low-rated' late-night comedian

Trump lost his cool when he saw Fox News covering a late-night host and his interview with a Democratic governor.

Comedian Bill Maher interviewed California Gov. Gavin Newsom in an episode of his HBO show "Real Time" on Friday. In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump blasted the interview as well as Fox News for covering it the next day.

"I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher 'relevant,'" Trump wrote. "Bill Maher is weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him."

Maher dined with Trump at the White House last year, but that hasn't kept the two from trading blows since then. Trump is usually the one starting the fight, though.

In his Truth Social post, Trump said that Maher was "nervous, scared, and the first words he uttered as he entered the Oval Office were, 'Can I have a drink?' It was very endearing but, at the same time, absolutely pathetic."

His post also referred to "Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person." Trump railed against the interview between Newsom and Maher, saying the late-night host was "defenseless, and totally deficient. Either he didn't have the knowledge, or he choked."

Maher isn't the only late-night host who has to deal with Trump's random ire. ABC and Disney are defending Jimmy Kimmel from calls by the president to have him fired and from the first lady to apologize for a small joke. However, Trump ended his latest tirade by saying, "Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel."

Trump blasts Iran's latest peace deal before reading it

President Donald Trump suggested on Saturday that he wouldn't accept a peace deal from Iran before he even read it.

"I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "They have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years."

Trump said he "can't imagine" the deal would be "acceptable," leaning towards the idea of continuing hostilities in Iran.

Earlier in the week, Trump rejected an Iranian offer to reopen the Stair of Hormuz, and he chose instead to extend the U.S. naval blockade there and postpone nuclear talks.

Trump Truth Store abruptly shutters as demand hits floor: 'It all started with the war'

The Trump Truth Store in the Chicago suburbs had to close temporarily as sales plummeted during the widely unpopular Iran war, The Chicago Tribune reported.

The MAGA-themed business based on President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform in Crystal Lake abruptly closed, according to The Tribune.

Owner Lisa Fleischmann announced that the store would remain shuttered in a Facebook post on March 26.

"I am not even making ½ of my rent," Fleischmann wrote. "I never did this for the money but I don’t know how much longer I can last with paying for all the stuff."

She told The Tribune that sales had dropped after the U.S.-Israeli military strikes in Iran started on Feb. 28. She thinks people were hesitant to purchase pro-Trump items or clothing amid the military conflict.

"Sales were really slow. It all started with the war. It was dead as a door nail the minute that happened," Fleischmann told The Tribune. "I think (customers) are unsure what’s going on. Not everyone. But I think a majority of people are unsure what’s going on. … And if you wear it, they feel someone might come up to them and ask them questions."

A poll released by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research on March 25 cited that most Americans disapprove of the war in Iran — 59 percent believe that military action has gone too far.

'I am killing them': Trump makes deranged 'ruthless scumbags' late-night Truth Social post

Donald Trump has issued a late-night Truth Social post implying further action will be taken in Iran.

The president has not backed down from the war with Iran after a bombing campaign earlier this month with Israel. Trump took to Truth Social and issued a deranged post in the middle of the night, warning that there would be more damage to come. He also ripped into the New York Times, with the president attempting to set the record straight on wartime rhetoric.

He wrote, "We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning. Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth.

"We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time - Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them.

"What a great honor it is to do so! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

His post regarding the Iran war comes shortly after refusing to speak about his failed attempt at winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has eyed up the peace award for years but has yet to receive the Nobel nod.

In a Thursday interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump seemed to have cast aside his hopes for the peace prize, saying he had "no idea" if the war in Iran would "get him over the line" with the Nobel Committee.

"I don't know," the president sulked. "I'm not interested in it. No, I don't talk about the Nobel Prize."

Trump doubles down on 'crooked elections' claim with late-night Truth Social post

Donald Trump has added fuel to the fire of his election fraud claim with a late-night Truth Social post.

The president shared quotes from former co-director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Dan Bongino's latest podcast episode, where he and John Solomon spoke of Trump's claim of election fraud in 2020. Trump has shared this unverified claim of election fraud several times since the results of the 2020 election, and has since made further comment.

A post sharing quotes from Bongino and Solomon has been screenshot and shared to the president's Truth Social timeline.

The post reads, "He is going to start revealing some of the intelligence that was kept from the American people. And we're going to see that our foreign adversaries have monkeyed around with our (election) system more than we knew...

"And I think when Senators realize their state could have been targeted... There is going to be a different debate in America..." Trump commented on the quotes in the screenshot.

He wrote, "Crooked Elections cannot be allowed in the U.S.A. President DJT." During his second term in office, Trump's administration searched an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia.

The location is one of Trump's primary targets with his election fraud claims. Agents were seen going into the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, with Fox News reporting that the outlet had been searched as part of a probe into the 2020 election.

The hub facility was opened in 2023 by state officials to streamline the county's election process.

Trump was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury along with 18 co-defendants in 2023 on charges related to his efforts to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden, but that case was ultimately dismissed after district attorney Fani Willis was removed over an improper relationship with a special prosecutor.

Trump defends racist Obama video as 'very strong' documentation of key campaign claim

Donald Trump has excused the sharing of a racist video featuring Barack and Michelle Obama to his Truth Social account as it actually details voter fraud.

The president has erroneously claimed for years that the 2020 elections were rigged. His second term in the White House has led to some pressure on mail-in ballots and the repetition of claims that the Democratic Party did not win the 2020 election. Trump's post to Truth Social last week was criticized by politicians, though the president has tried to explain why the video had been shared, The Daily Beast reported.

He told reporters on Thursday, "That was a video on, as you know, on voter fraud. It was a fairly long video, and they had a little piece and it had to do with the Lion King. It’s doing very well, uh, it’s been shown all over the place, long before that was posted.

"But that was a very strong - and I’m sure you saw it - a very strong piece on voter fraud, and the piece we were talking about was all over the place, many times I believe, for years."

The video was shared to Trump's Truth Social account at around midnight on February 6, with the current president sharing a host of posts, including this video. Said video runs for one minute and two seconds, with the final seconds of the video depicting Barack and Michelle as animals.

Trump had previously targeted Obama with an artificially generated video of the former president being arrested in the Oval Office. The deepfake video appeared in July last year on the president's Truth Social account.

Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) suggested that President Donald Trump had made a "mistake" by posting a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, but acknowledge that it was racist.

"Even if this was a Lion King meme, a reasonable person sees the racist context to this," Ricketts wrote Friday on X. "The White House should do what anyone does when they make a mistake: remove this and apologize."

Trump posts racist midnight video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys

Donald Trump posted a racist video depicting former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys.

The video was shared to Trump's Truth Social account at around midnight on February 6, with the current president sharing a host of posts, including this video. Said video runs for one minute and two seconds, with the final seconds of the video depicting Barack and Michelle as animals.

The video has been roundly criticized, with Gavin Newsom's Press Office slamming the post as a disgusting video. A statement from the Press Office reads, "Disgusting behavior by the President. Every single Republican must denounce this. Now."

Trump had previously targeted Obama with an artificially generated video of the former president being arrested in the Oval Office. The deepfake video appeared in July last year on the president's Truth Social account.

Further posts from the president made around the same time he shared the racist video included one aimed at "crybaby Democrats". The clip took footage from a Trump speech where he told those who were not happy in the country that they could leave.

Another clip took aim at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, with a recent snowstorm and trash day criticized. Footage of a piled up collection of rubbish has been shared by the president.

Trump has continued posting this morning, with one post comparing the president and Melania Trump to Ronald and Nancy Reagan. It reads, "It's beautiful that the couple in the White House is actually in love. When was the last time that happened? Ronnie and Nancy, perhaps."

Attached to the repost is a fan edit of Trump and Melania's interviews together. Trump's posting spree has included criticism of CNN and a clip of the president's interview with NBC.

In the interview clip shared, Trump talked up a "discombobulator" which he said he could share no further details on other than it worked and the administration "lost no men" when using it in military missions.
