'He's coming apart': Trump mocked over 'panicked' social media binge before Dem convention

0

As Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats gear up for their national convention, Donald Trump is on a social media spree.

Trump on Sunday posted or shared at least 25 items to his own social media network, Truth Social. In one of those posts, the former president lashed out against Black political commentator Van Jones, who Trump said had approached him with tears in his eyes to seek criminal justice reform.

After that, Trump drew attention to a report from the day prior that showed people leaving the ex-president's rally while he was speaking.

The flurry of online postings didn't go over well with political pundits and other social media onlookers.

Former Republican Jeff Timmer flagged the post about empty seats at the Trump rally, writing, "Looks like someone woke up on the gibbering barking panicked side of the bed today."

Harris' director of rapid response, Ammar Moussa, picked up on that same rally post.

"Donald Trump really does not want anyone knowing that he spoke to an empty arena yesterday. Do not say that. Seriously. Don't."

Former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski noted the high number of postings, and said a "panicked Trump completely melts down." In a separate post, he said of the ex-president, "He's coming apart."

Republicans against Trump highlighted the ex-president's post using A.I. photos purporting to be from "Swifties for Trump."

"I accept!" Trump wrote from the mock Taylor Swift fans.

"OMG. Trump is so desperate. He just posted AI-generated pictures about swifties for Trump."

Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein laughed at the same A.I. post.

"Lol, Trump posted a collage of AI generated Taylor Swift fans wearing ‘Swifities for Trump’ T-shits, and wrote 'I accept!' as if this were real," he wrote. "I mean…..this is uniquely pathetic, even for Trump."

Regarding a Trump post of an A.I. Harris standing in front of a communism-themed rally, former Republican lawmaker Chris Vance said, "I guarantee you this moron couldn't write a coherent Pol Sci 101 answer to the question, 'What is communism?'"
