Trump’s Troubling Behavior on Truth Social
Former President Donald Trump has been making some very troubling posts on his social media platform, Truth Social. He has been using vulgar language and making mean comments about women.
Attacks on Political Opponents
Recently, Trump has called for his political opponents to be jailed and even suggested bringing back public military trials for people like former President Barack Obama. He also made a rude joke about Vice President Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, which he later removed.
Different Tone on Mainstream Platforms
On other platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, Trump uses a calmer tone. This is because these platforms have a larger audience, and he wants to appeal to more people.
Why Truth Social Matters
Truth Social is a place where Trump and his supporters can share their unfounded claims about election fraud and seek revenge. However, this platform has a smaller reach compared to mainstream platforms, so most Americans don’t see these posts.
Impact on Voters
Trump’s posts on Truth Social are becoming more frequent and angrier as new polls show he’s losing ground to Kamala Harris. These posts are unlikely to win him new supporters because few undecided voters use Truth Social.
Conspiracy Theories and Threats
Trump’s posts also include threats against his critics and sexist attacks on Harris. He is laying the groundwork to claim fraud if he loses the upcoming election. He even uses language that suggests violence could happen if he doesn’t win.
QAnon References
In the past two days, Trump has reposted several messages with QAnon sayings like:
- “The world will soon understand … nothing can stop what’s coming.”
- “WWG1WGA,” which means “Where we go one, we go all.”
- “Hold the line … Justice is coming.”
Kamala Harris vs. Trump
Vice President Kamala Harris never lied about her past jobs, unlike Trump who lied about having bone spurs to avoid the draft. The difference between them is clear.
George Conway’s Comparison
George Conway compared Trump to a villain in a Star Trek episode. In the episode, the crew defeats the villain by laughing at it. Conway suggests that mocking Trump might be an effective way to weaken his influence.
The Apprentice Movie
A new movie called “The Apprentice,” about young Donald Trump, will be released on October 11. The film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as his advisor Roy Cohn.
Trump’s Concerns About Losing
According to Politico, Trump has privately admitted to his advisors that he knows he might lose without major changes to his campaign. He was also upset when Fox News didn’t call him during Kamala Harris’s convention speech.
Expert Opinions
We spoke to global affairs expert Asha Rangappa, who explained that Trump’s aura of inevitable victory has been shattered. This is crucial for defeating authoritarians like Trump.
