Supposedly, a major announcement is coming. We are still waiting.
Wild Midnight Posts
The Independent reports Trump’s wild midnight Truth Social posting binge features over 150 messages ranging from treason to beautiful Melania
President Donald Trump went on a manic Truth Social posting spree Monday night that saw him fire off 150 tweets in mere hours that included compliments about the first lady to conspiracy theories about Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Between 7 p.m. and midnight, the president reposted roughly 150 tweets — averaging about one post every two minutes for five hours — from what appeared to be a random assortment of unknown figures on X and his close allies discussing an unpredictable range of topics. The heaviest concentration of posts occurred between 11 p.m. and midnight, with about 100 posts in the final hour alone.
Less than six hours after capping off his posting spree, the president jumped back on his social media platform at 5.48 a.m., declaring: “TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST! There is nothing even close!!!”
The Truth Social spree included videos of Kamala Harris, flattering comments about himself and attacks against his perceived political rivals.
In one particularly nostalgic post, Trump reposted a video with the caption: “Christmas is officially great again!” The video included a snippet of Trump in Home Alone 2, a clip of Kamala Harris, and footage of the president and Melania Trump looking at Christmas trees.
Trump also once again took aim at Senator Mark Kelly and other Democrats with military backgrounds who issued a video statement last month telling troops they “can and must refuse illegal orders.”
“Mark Kelly and the group of Unpatriotic Politicians were WRONG to do what they did, and they know it! I hope the people looking at them are not duped into thinking that it’s OK to openly and freely get others to disobey the President of the United States,” Trump wrote.
One post about Pelosi called to “lock her up,” baselessly claiming her staffer was involved with the January 6 Capitol riot. Another praised Trump’s efforts to void Biden’s autopen orders.
Mixed into the rage-filled posts was a video Trump posted complimenting Melania’s style. The president later reposted an X user’s reaction to the video: “Grace, elegance and beauty. Our First Lady Melania.”
Others were fawning posts about the president from MAGA allies. Trump reposted a video of Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds delivering remarks, which included him thanking God that Harris didn’t win in 2024. Within the same minute, the president reposted an X user hyping up Trump: “Donald Trump is not a Democrat, he’s not even a republican, he’s a movement! The greatest president to ever live.”
Democratic influencer Harry Sisson quipped: “In the middle of the night, Trump posted on Truth Social well over 150 times in an hour. That’s at least 2 posts a minute. If you had a family member or friend doing this, you’d host an intervention. Trump is not well and he was clearly having a mental decline moment.”
Another X user seemed shocked by the sheer number of posts: “I’ve never seen anything like the absurd number of times Trump posted on Truth Social late last night / this morning. Mostly random screenshots and video clips, but in very rapid succession.”
Was it 150 or 160?
The Guardian noted Trump’s night of 160 posts on Truth Social fuels debate about US president’s stamina
The 79-year-old president’s social media blitz included conspiracies, attacks on political foes and self-praise.
At one point, according to the Daily Beast, which published a chronicle of the avalanche of words and videos that appeared from 7.09pm ET until 11.57pm, the president’s posts were coming in faster than one a minute.
A notable feature of Trump’s Monday spree was the level of repetition. A majority of the reposts from other people’s accounts appeared twice, once in original form, then again almost immediately with commentary added by Trump, or another person who reposted it.
The US president appears to have finally made it to bed sometime after midnight, but was up bright and early again on Tuesday to resume his finger tapping with posts concerning the upcoming Georgia governor’s election, and Tuesday’s congressional House race in Tennessee, attempting to shore up support for the Republican candidate.
“Truth Social is the best. There is nothing even close!!!” Trump posted. Twice.
If you are defending this for any reason, you have Trump Worship Syndrome, TWS.
Is 160 Possibly Enough?
That’s what I am asking this morning.
Q: Enough for what?
A: Good question. Use your imagination.
What comes to my mind is the plunge in the value of Truth Social which trades under the symbol DJT.
Are Trump’s DJT and the Melania Meme Coin Headed to Zero?
On November 30, I asked Are Trump’s DJT and the Melania Meme Coin Headed to Zero?
Trump’s Ownership of DJT
Donald Trump owns 114,750,000 shares of DJT stock, which represents approximately 53% of the company’s outstanding shares, through a revocable trust. He transferred his entire stake to this trust, with his son, Donald Trump Jr., as the sole trustee who has sole voting and investment power.
Donald Trump became legally eligible to sell his shares in Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) in September 2024, after the expiration of a post-merger “lock-up” period.
But Trump has not sold any of his shares. He could have easily unloaded some shares in October-November between $40 and $50.
DJT trades at 1,240 times its annual revenues, according to FactSet.
The closing high of DWAC, the SPAC that became DJT is $97.54. It’s down 88.2 percent since then. The intraday high on DWAC varies by source. It’s down 93.3 percent if one uses 175 as the high.
Clearly this is a shocking decline because we all know: “Truth Social is the best. There is nothing even close!!!” Trump posted. Twice.

President Trump has always used his stamina and energy as a political strength. But that image is getting harder for him to sustain.
