Sleepless Trump, 80, Unravels in Deranged 1AM Posting Spree

Evelyn Hockstein/REUTERS Donald Trump flooded his Truth Social account with deranged artificial intelligence slop and pro-MAGA messages when he should probably have been sleeping.

Trump, 80, was fresh off a day at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, with all eyes on him, his obsessive aide Natalie Harp and his lesser-spotted wife, Melania Trump.

He would be forgiven for catching some Zs then, especially since he has a habit of dozing off during public events.

Instead, the aging president fulfilled his nighttime ritual of filling his Truth Social account with posts.

In a one-hour window between 12.30 a.m. and 1.20 a.m., Trump posted eight times.

He covered topics like the Iran war, November’s midterm elections, American Revolution AI slop, sanctuary cities and ramblings about “Western civilization.” In one post, George Washington is depicted scowling and pointing over a podium.

“WE FOUGHT A REVOLUTION AND WORKED TO GIVE YOU PEOPLE FREEDOM,” the caption goes.

In an apparent jibe at the Democratic Party, it adds, “DON’T SIT BACK AND GIVE IT AWAY TO TERRORISTS POSING AS A POLITICAL PARTY” None of the posting was especially coherent, and Trump did not write anything himself, instead opting to share material from other accounts.

Trump may not have even posted it himself, as his White House lackeys often do so on his behalf, usually after he dictates messages to them.

This is one of the duties of Natalie Harp, a former right-wing television anchor who makes $150,000 annually as Trump’s executive assistant.

This was seen in an episode of Art of the Surge , a docuseries tracking Trump’s re-election campaign that aired on Fox Nation in 2024.

In it, Trump watches former Vice President Kamala Harris deliver her speech at the Democratic National Convention and dictates his immediate reactions to Harp to post.

“She’s talking about great San Francisco was before she destroyed it,” Trump says to his 35-year-old aide as she types out his thoughts.

“A lot of talk about childhood, we’ve got to get to the border, inflation and crime.” Both remarks were published as separate Truth Social posts within minutes of each other on August 22, 2024.
