Donald Trump spent 38 minutes late Tuesday night flooding Truth Social with more than two dozen posts, and roughly half of them were aimed at Barack Obama. From 10:15 p.m. to 10:53 p.m. ET, Trump and his supporters pushed claims that Obama had committed treason, tried to stage a coup, used Hillary Clinton's email server under a pseudonym and personally collected $120 million from the Affordable Care Act.
The rest of the posts attacked Mark Kelly, James Comey, Jack Smith and Hillary Clinton, while several demanded that the Justice Department move faster against Trump's enemies. One message stood out because it was written by Trump himself: “I was hunted by some very bad people. Now I’m the hunter.”
The late-night burst came as the war with Iran was still dragging on, a conflict Trump has recently used his social accounts to frame for Iranian audiences and to calm oil-market worries. Instead, his feed turned into a grievance dump, with only one original post from Trump and the rest reposts from apparent supporters repeating the same accusations and calls for retribution.
That mix matters because it shows where Trump's attention was fixed when the country might have expected a president to be focused on war, diplomacy and markets. It also underscores how his social-media machine now works: Trump can amplify a message without always writing it himself, while still leaving the imprint of a campaign-style assault on old rivals and current prosecutors.
The most striking part is not that Trump attacked his foes. It is that he did it in a sustained run, mostly through other people's words, while a war he is actively waging was left untouched. The posts made one thing plain: Trump is still using Truth Social as both a weapon and a megaphone, and he is not waiting for anyone else to define the fight.
