'Destroying your presidency!' MAGA civil war breaks out on Trump's own platform

President Donald Trump's social media site, normally nothing more than a platform for himself to rant and his most avid fans to admire him, is plunging into warfare, as MAGA fans turn on each other over Trump's moves in the Iran conflict.
According to The New York Times, "Thousands of users on the social media platform, which Mr. Trump created in 2022, have responded to the presidents drumbeat of posts with a mix of frustration, disbelief and outrage. They have written that they feel betrayed by the expanding war in Iran and ashamed when Mr. Trump used an expletive on Easter to make demands of the Iranian government. Some were so perplexed by his military interventions that one declared they 'make zero sense.'"
Trump established Truth Social in response to his removal from other social media platforms following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. These platforms ultimately allowed him back on a few years later, but he has mostly continued to rely on Truth Social as his platform for communicating with the public.
He often uses it to go after whatever random person is annoying him at any given moment, like rock star Bruce Springsteen. One "committed anti-leftist" account called @Ultra_MAGA_King said, "Youre utterly destroying your presidency with this nonsense. Its probably too late to course correct at this point. A shameful waste of a great start."

In 1998, People covered Trump mostly for his relationships with his first and second wives, Ivana Trump and Marla Maples. While there is evidence Trump was interested in politics during the late '90s, nothing we found proved he ever said anything about "dumb Republicans" to any reputable publication.

After Kelleys death, Frank DiPrima, a close friend of Kelley, revealed that the professor felt the president was a fool.
Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had,' DiPrima wrote for the Daily Kos. I remember his emphasis and inflection it went like this Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.

War criminal Bone Spurs did not know the easy geopolitical fact that the king of England is Canada's head of state for example
There should be a complete review and standards set by Congress to verify and approve (or reject) all candidates running for the most powerful job on Earth, like serious "tests" about easy facts they HAVE to know.

(12,537 posts)Hummm. Was that the DOGE debacle when Agent Orange allowed no-nothings to take control of our major institutions and ransack the place? Or was the 'great start' Musk and his chainsaw? Or perhaps the Cabinet selection of loyalists vs experienced individuals to ensure the damage and gutting would continue. Or the ICE raids to terrorize Americans, immigrants and citizens alike. Or shrugging off our historical allies with threats and insults and never-ending bullying. Or economic ruin through tariffs?
Renee Goode's death followed by Alex Pretti followed by numerous detainees in ICE custody. Was that it, the prologue to greatness?
When looking back, one can easily understand the ill-planned, disastrous war in Iran because ETTD has always been in play.
There's been no greatness from Trump or his Administration, only cruelty and stupidity.
And endless lies making each and every silent Republican ripe candidates for The Hague.

What we're witnessing is more like what one would expect after such an ignominious start.
