'Pretty dark stuff': Ex-GOP strategist exposes 'very weird' underbelly of Truth Social

Raw Story  

In the latest episode of Bulwark Takes, former GOP strategist Tim Miller explored the "online insane asylum" that is former President Donald Trump's Truth Social account — and exposed what's going on below the surface. "Donald Trump has been completely deranged and unhinged over on his social media feed today," said Miller. As an example, Miller read off one all-caps "Truth" Trump posted to the site this week: "IT’S ALWAYS FAKE WITH KAMALA. Miller then walked through a number of Trump's other posts, including a lengthy quotation from former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate Nicole Shanahan, who said she now believes Trump is being "persecuted" because "DNC-aligned PAC attorneys" questioned her "like a criminal," and a repost of someone else's post that said "ReTruth if you want public military tribunals!"
