President posted more than 50 times in three hours, attacking on Obama, NY Times and supreme court
Donald Trump unleashed a late-night social media tirade against his political enemies, attacking predecessors including Barack Obama with false accusations and amplifying calls for his Democratic rivals to be prosecuted.
Just hours before a high-stakes trip to China for talks with Xi Jinping, the US president posted more than 50 times in a three-hour spree from Monday evening into the early hours of Tuesday. Posts included doctored images of himself on the $100 bill and demands that political opponents be arrested.
It comes as millions of Americans face mounting economic pressure tied to the US and Israel’s war with Iran, with living costs rising across much of the country. Trump appeared to acknowledge this pressure earlier on Monday, when he signaled his support for a plan to curb a sharp rise in fuel costs.
After campaigning for years against the US engaging in “endless wars”, Trump has repeatedly drawn out the timeline of the war on Iran, which began with US and Israeli attacks in late February. Earlier this week he described a ceasefire deal with Tehran as “on life support”.
