Trump Fires Off 46 Posts in Manic Two-Hour Spree
Evan Vucci / REUTERS Donald Trump apparently found a two-hour break in his presidential schedule Wednesday to fire off 46 posts in rapid succession on Truth Social.
Trump’s manic posting spree covered a range of topics.
At one point, he was airing his unprompted frustration that athlete Roger Clemens is not in the National Baseball Hall of Fame after he was caught using performance-enhancing drugs decades ago.
At another, he was sharing photos of his deceased parents and complimenting Rep.
Ralph Norman’s physical appearance.
Most of the time, though, the president was doing what he does best: showering himself with praise.
In one post, Trump shared a photo of himself as a young adult clad in a military academy uniform, side by side with one of Barack Obama, in a wide-brimmed hat, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Next came the president touting a letter he received from the late Yankees owner George M.
Steinbrenner —a convicted felon who funneled illegal corporate contributions to the 1972 reelection effort of controversial President Richard Nixon .
In a 1989 letter on New York Yankees stationery—the same year Steinbrenner received a presidential pardon—the businessman fawned over Trump after seeing him appear on The Morton Downey Jr.
Show .
“Saw you on Morton Downey the other night.
He is a friend, and I watch his show regularly,” Steinbrenner, who died in 2010 at age 80, wrote.
“You were great! You tell it like it is,” he continued.
