Trump Truth Social: Late-Night Rant After Foreign Incident
A sleep-dodging Donald Trump used his return to the white House to embark on a late-night Truth Social posting rampage.
Trump flew back from Switzerland on Thursday evening, after visiting the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he backed down on his plans to seize control of Greenland and was snubbed by major allies as he launched a multibillion-dollar peace grift.
Once home, the jet-lagged president made over 70 posts during a 50-minute period from 12:40 a.m to 1:30 a.m, with a slew of MAGA-amiable reposts clogging his feed. Many of the posts appeared in his feed twice in a row.
Trump, 79, began his posting spree by claiming he had helped to save TikTok by announcing the Chinese social media company would now operate in the U.S. under a majority American-owned joint venture.
Republican megadonor Larry Ellison’s company Oracle will hold a 15 percent stake in TikTok U.S.Ellison, a close friend of Trump, will also steer Oracle’s “retraining” of TikTok’s trademark algorithm.
“It will now be owned by a group of Great American Patriots and Investors, the Biggest in the World, and will be an significant Voice,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I only hope that long into the future I will be remembered by those who use and love TikTok.”
Ironically, Trump had tried to ban TikTok in 2020, citing national security fears, but used the Chinese-owned app to broaden his appeal with younger voters during his 2024 election campaign.
Trump’s dump of posts covered everything from a trailer for wife Melania’s Amazon documentary to reposting video from Fox News and Joe Rogan’s podcast.
There were also clips of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and uploaded PDF printouts of a NewsMax cover story on trump from December.
