Trump, 79, Battles Jet Lag With Late Night Rage-Post Spree
The president was still posting at 3:30am U.K. time.
International travel hasn’t dampened Donald Trump’s nightly rage on Truth Social.
During his official visit to the United Kingdom, the president posted an angry message on social media around 3:30 a.m. London time regarding the investigation into the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.
The 79-year-old president criticized the 2022 FBI investigation into Trump and nearly 100 individuals or organizations linked to the Republican Party, including Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA. Republicans have released new details.
On Tuesday, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley unveiled details of the investigation, dubbed “Arctic Frost,” which Republicans say targets Republican groups for political reasons. Special Counsel Jack Smith took office in November 2022.
Trump posted an angry message: “Why was the brilliant film ‘Tipping Point’ being investigated by the ‘psychopath’ Jack Smith and the corrupt and incompetent Biden administration? They tried to force Charlie, along with many other individuals and movements, out of business. They used the Department of Justice against Joe Biden’s political opponents, including me!”
Grassley declared the investigation “partisan in nature.”
He added: “In other words, the Arctic Frost case was not just a political investigation of Trump, but a tool used by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors to further their partisan interests and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”
No further details were provided regarding the reasons for the investigation into Kirk’s film “Tipping Point.”
On his first night in the UK, during his second official visit, Trump stuck to his usual selection of “social truth” topics.
These posts, likely due to jet lag, follow Attorney General Pam Bondi’s revelations about the president’s limited sleep habits.
“None of us can keep up with him. We joke around all the time,” Bondi said on “The Katie Miller Show.” “I don’t know how he does it. None of us know when to sleep. He’s always working, and it’s a constant for him.”
Early in the UK, Trump posted a meme featuring Special Counsel Nathan Wade, who had an affair with Attorney General Fani Willis, who led the election interference investigation against Trump.
In this comical video, set to a seductive Marvin Gaye song, Wade is asked if he stayed in a cabin with Willis, and it takes him 30 seconds to answer.
Willis was dismissed from the 2020 election interference case against Trump last December after the court ruled she had a conflict of interest based on her relationship with Wade, who was working on the case.
Trump told Fox News at the time that “this whole case is a disgrace to the judiciary.” He added, “Corrupt people like this should not be running a case.”
While in the UK, the president retweeted a news article about his call to Indian Prime Minister Modi to wish him a happy 75th birthday and shared a Fox News video in which host Sean Hannity referred to a “left-wing” slur directed at Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie, a podcast host, who were interviewing him.
The president retweeted videos of himself and his wife, Melania, arriving in the UK and also shared at least eight posts by White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt.
One claimed that Trump was “getting positive feedback” regarding his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times.
“The overwhelming sentiment is, ‘It’s time!'” Trump wrote, adding, “The far-left media is working hard to destroy the United States of America. We will stop them at every level!” President DGT.
Trump made the lawsuit public on Monday, attacking the Times for supporting Democrat Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election.
In his scathing attack on “social truth,” the president accused the newspaper of a “decades-long tradition of lies about your favorite president (me!), my family, my business, America First, Make America Great Again, and our nation as a whole.”
He also described the Times as “one of the most evil and depraved newspapers in the history of our country.”
