President Donald Trump attacked several of his political foes, whom he called "corrupt and irrelevant," in a raving late-night posting spree on Truth Social. Trump is routinely up late at night posting images of himself or firing off long-winded attacks against his political enemies. In the past, he's posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man in bed, threatened to wipe out the Iranian civilization, and reposted multiple conspiracy theories about how the 2020 general election was allegedly stolen from him, even though his lawyers couldn't prove that point in more than 60 cases. The president continued that streak on Monday night, posting more than two dozen times on Truth Social. Some of the posts were standard endorsements of MAGA candidates while others seemed to come from a darker place in Trump's mind. In one post, Trump lashed out at the way the media has covered his war in Iran. "If Iran surrenders ... the Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!!" Trump wrote. He also attacked several Republican congressmen who lost their primary races to people who are more closely aligned with Trump. "In the last two weeks I've taken out many bad Political 'Leaders' and Pundits including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lightweight 'Congressman' Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brad Raffensperger of Georgia, REALLY DUMB Stephen Colbert of CBS, and others," Trump wrote in one post. "My score, for two weeks, is 38-0, with three more limping Late Night Talk Show Hosts, including Low Ratings Bill Maher and his Fake "Laughing Machine," to go. It is my Honor to be working so hard for our Country!"Trump also attacked New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who successfully prosecuted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide a hush-money payment he gave to adult actress Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an affair he had with her before the 2016 general election. "Alvin Bragg created a new crime just for 'Donald Trump.' He took misdemeanors that didn’t exist, and turned them into felonies that never existed," Trump wrote. "They have a “charge” for Donald Trump that nobody has ever been charged with in the History of Manhattan, and they didn’t charge Hillary Clinton’s lawyer who became the Chief Prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz, and the Judge’s Daughter was the Chief Fundraiser for Kamala Harris and Sleepy Joe Biden. Dirty Cops and Crooked Politicians!"If all of that wasn't enough, Trump also called for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state in a post where he shared an article about the country falling into a recession.
"Super weird. And I have boys the same age," one social media user commented on the post.
