President Trump, at 80 years old, shows no hesitation in embracing a comparison to Adolf Hitler, a fascist dictator notorious for his brutal regime.
In a frenzied early-morning social media outburst, Trump shared a passage from Dave King, who argues that Trump's "global reach" positions him as a more significant threat than historical figures like Hitler. Trump reposted the excerpt with the enthusiastic remark, “Sounds good to me!”
King's statement included names such as Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Tamburlaine, Napoleon, Mao, and Stalin. He claimed that these figures lacked the global influence that Trump wields today.
Trump's tirade spanned various topics, from his White House renovations to bizarre accusations against Kamala Harris.
He posted continuously for about eight hours while traveling from Paris after the G7 meeting and the signing of the Iran-US deal. His posting spree continued even after arriving at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
His erratic posts jumped from Iran to the White House ballroom, chip manufacturing, and self-promotion. One message targeted Kamala Harris, whom he defeated in the 2024 election.
Trump shared a list allegedly penned by shock jock Michael Savage, making outrageous claims about what America would have become had Harris won. These included assertions that cartels would dominate small cities, the electoral college would be abolished, China would seize Taiwan, and a 'mandatory hijab day' would be instituted. None of these claims are verifiable.
This chaotic posting spree coincided with Trump being labeled "creepy" for an inappropriate gesture towards French President Emmanuel Macron's wife.
In another post, he circulated a letter that compared him to Napoleon, Hitler, Alexander the Great, and Genghis Khan, asserting that his "global reach" makes him more powerful than all of them.
Trump claimed that US power combined with his willingness to wield it positions him as "by far the most powerful person that has ever walked this planet."
Never one to shy away from ostentation, Trump highlighted renovations to one of the golden "Arts of War" statues at Memorial Bridge. He posted a photo of the statue receiving fresh gold leaf and proclaimed: "The statue 'Valor,' one of the Arts of War statues, is almost completely regilded by our Great Department of the Interior."
In yet another post, he shared a six-month-old magazine cover featuring himself alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, promoting new investments flowing into the U.S. from India.
He also celebrated a recent agreement with Iran. Trump signed a deal requiring Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium while waiving U.S.-backed sanctions, allowing Iran to sell its oil freely.
In response to critics, Trump declared: "These fools, who think I haven't been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are 'tumbling' down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid."
His lengthy tirade revisited his favorite topic—the White House ballroom. Trump described the controversial project as "coming along fantastically," despite facing multiple legal challenges.
He asserted that construction is on schedule and under budget but provided no evidence to support this claim. He also took the opportunity to criticize former Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell.
On Truth Social, Trump stated: "The Ballroom is coming along fantastically well. It's on time and under budget (Unlike the Federal Reserve Building, where 'Too Late' has done a terrible job of Cost and Time Control!), and at a much higher quality than I ever promised."
The ballroom project is currently embroiled in litigation over allegations that Trump bypassed public review processes and failed to secure congressional authorization before starting construction.
This follows Trump's unhinged tirade against former President Obama amid a scandal involving Michelle Obama.
