Trump channels Snow White and Muhammad Ali in series of manic Labor Day ‘Greatest’ posts

Key Points:

• On Labor Day, President Donald Trump posted a series of erratic messages on Truth Social, including an image depicting former President Barack Obama seeing Trump as “the greatest president,” and a self-portrait labeled “The Greatest” above other presidents categorized from “Great” to “Failures.”
• Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 33%, the lowest recorded by a Financial Times poll, with economic pessimism and cost of living concerns cited as major factors ahead of the November midterm elections.
• The president’s posts also included bizarre AI-generated images, attempts to rename New Mexico “New America,” and a map of North America covered by the U.S. flag, actions that drew criticism and raised questions about his mental state.
• Calls for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office have intensified, with critics pointing to his chaotic and excessive Truth Social activity, which included over 1,000 posts in August, mostly during late-night hours.
• Trump’s Labor Day message combined holiday wishes with attacks on political opponents and optimistic predictions for Republican victories in upcoming elections, despite his declining public support.
