US President Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of posts on Truth Social on Wednesday, just one day after the Democratic party celebrated major election victories across the country.
In a concentrated span of less than two and a half hours, Trump shared over 30 separate messages, indicating a highly reactive period following the Republican setbacks.
The posting frenzy was triggered by Democratic triumphs in key statewide races in Virginia, New Jersey, California, and New York, where democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani notably won the mayoral race.
Trump’s posts spanned everything from fiery rants to friendly plugs—including pitches for his allies’ and fellow conservatives’ books.
Crucially, the series included several bizarre, artificially generated videos where an AI-rendered image of the former President read his own text posts aloud. These videos covered diverse subjects, from meetings with foreign leaders to claiming that grocery prices for a Thanksgiving meal had dropped significantly.
In his missives, Trump also repeated earlier threats to cut US aid to Nigeria over the treatment of Christians and attacked the Affordable Care Act. In a fiery call to action, he urged Republican lawmakers to use the “nuclear option” to end the Senate filibuster and criticize Democrats as “crazed lunatics.”
The aggressive and unusual communication spree, especially the use of AI-generated content, has fueled fresh speculation about the President’s state of mind following a difficult night for his party at the polls. Earlier, Trump had attempted to downplay the losses, posting that Republicans failed because he “wasn’t on the ballot” and because of the government “shutdown.”
