Trump, 80, Spirals in Unhinged Multi-Post Truth Social Meltdown

Donald Trump has threatened legal action over a “treasonous” newspaper article that claimed his brutal war with Iran achieved very little change.

Trump, 80, lashed out at The New York Times on Sunday in three separate social media posts, calling the publication “corrupt and unethical cowards” and “criminals.”

The president also claimed he would update his “multi Billion Dollar lawsuit” against the Times, by adding new details of their “false and ridiculous reporting” over his war.

Trump’s fury stemmed from a Sunday article by Times reporter Neil MacFarquhar with the pointed headline, “What Changed After Almost Four Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.”

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The headline in the Corrupt and Failing New York Times: “What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.” REALLY? Their Military is DONE, their Navy is GONE, their Air Force is GONE, their Launching Pads, Missiles, Drones and Manufacturing of same, is almost GONE, their top two sets of Leaders are GONE, their Inflation is at 250%, their Economy is BROKEN, their Soldiers aren’t being paid, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN, THE OIL IS GUSHING, and the U.S. Stock Market and Jobs are at record HIGHS. That’s what’s CHANGED, you corrupt and unethical cowards, and MORE!!! President DJT

The way the Corrupt and Failing New York Times is covering stories on a very battered and beat up Iran, through FAKE & MADE UP “FACTS” is, in my opinion, “TREASONOUS.” I will be adding all of their false and ridiculous reporting to my multi Billion Dollar lawsuit against them. They are Criminals! President DJT

And he’ll be back at it threatening the media, peace negotiations and Reflection Pool vandals. Maybe he’ll blow a gasket

He's acting out like a self obsessed child, grievance maturity level about 8 years old, with the seething blowhard outrage of a disagreeable adolescent boy.

“corrupt and unethical cowards” and “criminals.”

Corrupt: how much has he made as POTUS?

Unethical: child rape, murder, money laundering, stock market manipulation, and so on.

Cowards: See bone spurs.

Criminals: He is a convicted felon 34 times over.

Power mad rulers? Check!

Overextending resources in pointless overseas garrisons and wars? Check!

All we need now is a decent volcanic eruption to cover a few cities, like a re-enactment of Pompeii, to complete the picture.

Need a decent stabbing in the Rotunda as well, so Trump can say 'Et Tu, Vance?'

I'm sure there is a Nostradamus quatrain that foreshadows this.

QUATRAIN #1-32

The grand empire will be quickly exchanged
For a tiny area, that very soon expands;
A rather unfamous place, in a forgotten land,
In the middle of which he will come to lay down his scepter.

There you go!
Trump undone by Israel.

QUATRAIN #1-35

The younger lion, shall overcome the older
On the field of combat, by singular duel;
Through armor of gold, his eye will be pierced,
Two wounds in one, then to die a cruel death.

Donnie going down!

QUATRAIN #1-70

Tempest, hatred, war, in Iran not ceasing,
Those of too great a faith will betray the Monarch;
But the end begins in France,
A secret sign for one to be surrounded.

This one needs no interpretation.
