Just after midnight following America’s 250th birthday fireworks, the President of the United States was already back on Truth Social, beginning what would become one of the most frantic social media spirals we have seen from him in a long time. Over the course of the day, he posted or reposted more than 100 times, including 67 posts in just two hours. He shared white nationalist language, attacked a federal judge, reposted a racist caricature of the Obamas, reduced Hillary Clinton to a comparison of her physical appearance against a woman two decades younger, and posted a “RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED” meme aimed at Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, just 48 hours before they are expected to share a room at a NATO summit. This was not the behavior of a president in control. It was a man in free fall, reaching for his phone because it is the only thing left that makes him feel powerful.
But the most disturbing image appeared without warning: an unmistakable piece of authoritarian propaganda depicting Trump as a towering black silhouette dwarfing fighter jets, his arm outstretched toward a horizon consumed by fire and smoke, as if commanding a nation toward war. There was nothing American about it. Nothing democratic. And buried in the spree was the most honest thing he has said in months. He wrote that if Democrats add states, expand representation, and eliminate the filibuster, “it will be impossible for a Republican to ever be elected President again.” He was not describing cheating. He was describing a fair system, and admitting his party cannot survive one. What he wants is a rigged system.
And not a single one of those 100-plus posts was about making anyone’s life better. Not healthcare, not wages, not the cost of groceries. Because there is nothing to point to. His war with Iran produced no victory. His Reflecting Pool became a national embarrassment. His July 4th centerpiece ended with supporters stranded in a thunderstorm while he waited until 11:15 to misquote the Declaration of Independence.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Patriot Front members marched through Washington, and his own Interior Secretary could not bring himself to condemn them. Division is not a consequence of this presidency. It is the only product it has consistently delivered, and he needs more of it now than ever, because it shifts the conversation away from his failures and toward each other. The posting spree is not the behavior of a man who is winning. It is the behavior of a man who knows the ground is shifting beneath him. The midterms are four months away.

We are living through a pivotal moment for our country, and my goal is to reach as many people as possible with clear, factual information about what is happening. The more people who understand what is unfolding, the better our chances of pushing back against chaos, cruelty, and corruption ahead of the midterms.
Thank you for your continued support. Your paid subscriptions have enabled me to add a video editor and reach more people.
Independent journalism is under attack. You can make a difference with a $5/month paid subscription. Your support allows me to keep telling the truth about the lies and destruction unfolding in our country, defend myself from constant pressure from MAGA extremists, and ultimately spread the message to more people.
I’m fighting to save our country (before it’s too late).
I’ll see you tomorrow,
Heather
