Former President Donald Trump has had a late-night meltdown in response to a poll indicating a decline in his support. In a series of posts on his social media platform, Trump lashed out at the media and President Biden.
Trump’s Discontent With Media Narratives
Trump’s late-night Twitter rant commenced with a sharp critique of the media. He took aim at The Wall Street Journal and Fox News, accusing them of perpetuating a narrative that he vehemently disputed. According to him, both outlets – through pundits like Trey Gowdy – were asserting that both he and President Biden were unpopular within their respective parties.
Donald Trump’s Words
Trump said: “The Wall Street Journal and Fox News keep pushing the narrative, through Trey Gowdy and others, that ‘both’ Crooked Joe Biden and 45th President Donald J. Trump are unpopular within their own party.”
Challenging Biden to a Mental Test
Not content with disputing media narratives, Trump escalated the situation by throwing down a challenge to President Biden. In his post, Trump announced his intention to take a mental test and invited Biden to join him. He claimed that nobody could match his abilities and even suggested incorporating physical elements as part of the test.
A Senior Golf Championship
The former president proudly cited his recent victory in a senior golf championship as evidence of his mental and physical abilities. He also mentioned Fox News anchor Bret Baier as a potential witness to his capabilities.
Trump’s Alleged “Mental Toughness”
Trump said: “I will name the place and the test and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me! We can also throw some physical activity in it. I just won the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players. To do so you need strength, accuracy, touch, and mental toughness. Ask Bret Baier, a very good golfer.”
Criticism of the Media
Trump did not spare The Wall Street Journal and Fox News from further criticism. He went as far as labeling them “damaged goods” in a comment linked to a “$780,000,000 settlement,” further stoking controversy over his interactions with the media.
Support Decline and Fundraising Activities
Trump’s late-night rant followed a series of polls suggesting a decline in his support. In response, he promoted a contest on his social media account, offering donors a chance to meet him in Beverly Hills in exchange for financial contributions. The contest was indicative of his ongoing efforts to mobilize his base and secure funding for his political activities and legal fees.
Iowa Backlash and Public Response
In addition to the decline in support, Trump visited Iowa over the weekend and it did not go as expected. He was met with resounding boos and jeers while attending a college football game and photos from the event showed fans expressing their dissatisfaction by flipping him off.
Fundraising Efforts for Giuliani
Preceding the Iowa football game, Trump hosted a high-dollar fundraising dinner for his longtime ally, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, at his Bedminster golf club. The fundraiser, with a staggering price tag of $100,000 per plate, aimed to alleviate Giuliani’s mounting legal expenses. While the event was anticipated to raise around $1 million, Giuliani’s son expressed reservations about whether it would be sufficient to cover all the legal bills.
A Topic of Ongoing Interest
In his late-night outburst, Trump’s frustration with media coverage, claims of dwindling support, and challenges to political opponents took center stage. As he continues to make headlines with his provocative statements and fundraising efforts, the impact of his actions on American politics remains a topic of ongoing interest.
The Internet Responded
News of Trump’s outburst was shared across the internet and opinions were divided. “Late-night rant is all you need to know about this coward,” one individual said. “Right now all Trump can do is rant and attack,” another wrote.
Trump and Prison
Another said: “I wonder if [Trump] will rant and rave in prison when he does not get his own way. What happens when he runs out of hair spray or does not have a tanning bed in his cell? Who will he rant and rave to then? Perhaps he will create a grift among the fellow prisoners to raise money for him.”
Trump Never Sleeps
Others pointed out that Trump seemingly never sleeps. One person said: “When does this guy sleep? He is up all day posting, he is up all night posting, he is posting in the morning. Just like a sick person, he gets very little sleep. Sick people like him spend most of the time either posting on social media or texting others.”
A Sick Man
Others echoed the aforementioned commenter in questioning the former president’s mental state, albeit in a much more concise way. “Donnie has become a sick, sad, lonely, looney little man,” one individual commented.
Indoctrinating Cult Members
Some people questioned why Trump likes social media so much. “Why is he so obsessed with social media though? It’s so weird. He has much more important things to be getting on with but no. He’s always posting on social media,” one person said. “I think it’s very intentional. It’s how he indoctrinates his cult members. One of the ways, anyway,” another replied.
Trump and Golf
Another said: “I think it’s hilarious that he thinks being decent at golf is a sign that he’s amazingly physically fit. I’m not saying golf doesn’t take any skill but that’s just it – skill. Not athleticism or fitness, not really. Hilarious.”
Trump Can’t Speak a Coherent Sentence
Echoing the aforementioned individual, another said: “A mental test? Trump can’t even speak a coherent sentence and he thinks he can beat absolutely anyone at some kind of mental test? And don’t even get me started on his claims about golf. Winning a senior golf championship is all but meaningless.”
Taking Revenge Against the Country
Others moved the discussion to Trump’s potential actions if he becomes POTUS once more. “If Trump gets elected again, the only thing he’s going to do with it is take revenge against this country and its institutions. I think people are worried about that and I think they should be,” one person wrote.
