Trump, 80, Starts Race to Election With Social Media Meltdown

Donald Trump spiraled into an unhinged Labor Day weekend posting spree in an apparent attempt to win back MAGA voters for the midterms.

What began as a familiar Trumpian tour of immigration, trade and needling the Democrats soon devolved into something much stranger. In 48 hours between his first post on Saturday, the 80-year-old president ricocheted between threats against Iran, attacks on Canada, midterm boasts and grievances against his political foes, while repeatedly using AI to cast himself as a conquering military hero, a peer of the Founding Fathers, and even the man redrawing America’s borders.

By the time the posting spree ended Monday night, Trump’s profile—which he uses as a kind of semi-official political channel—had turned into a surreal blend of foreign policy, MAGA grievance and self-mythologizing.
