Trump, 80, Unravels in 1AM Posting Frenzy
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump launched a late-night tirade on Truth Social, claiming gas prices and most other prices were higher under President Biden than during his own presidency, a statement that includes some misleading spin despite partial grounding in data.
- Trump shared multiple posts early Monday, including a link accusing former CIA Director John Brennan of involvement in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, reflecting his ongoing claims of a "grand conspiracy" against him.
- He also highlighted alleged disrepair at the Kennedy Center and announced a ban on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House, criticizing their negative coverage and posting a graphic depicting their logos on trash bags outside the White House.
- The ban on these media outlets followed advice from Trump's aide Natalie Harp, who reportedly filters news coverage for Trump and encouraged the exclusion of dissenting reporters from the White House.
- Trump expressed frustration over a perceived lack of supportive media coverage, praising Breitbart as the only outlet treating him "fairly," while warning that other "Fake News Media Outlets" could be banned next.
