Former President Donald Trump began his Wednesday morning with a furious rant on Truth Social in which he predicted "the potential doom of the United States of America."
In the all-caps post, the former president railed against special counsel Jack Smith, who indicted him earlier this year for illegally retaining national defense information and who could indict him again in the near future for his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
"MASSIVE PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE IN AMERICA," he wrote. "THE WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. CRIME & INFLATION ARE RAMPANT, OUR BORDERS ARE OPEN, OUR ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED, OUR ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE IS GONE, OUR 'LEADER' IS MERCILESSLY MOCKED, & OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BOTH INSIDE & OUT. DO THE PEOPLE OF THIS ONCE GREAT NATION EVEN HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO PROTEST THE POTENTIAL DOOM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA??? 2024!!!"
Despite Trump's claims, the most recent data show that both inflation and crime are coming down, and the United States remains the world's largest producer of petroleum.
