Frenzied Trump, 79, Posts Crazed Threats in Early Morning Spree

TAKE HIS PHONE

The president raged against his greatest enemy, which is not the country he’s waging war against.

President Donald Trump went on an unhinged early morning posting spree, declaring Democrats as enemies of the state and fantasizing about serving an illegal third term.

The 79-year-old president posted and reshared 13 times on Sunday morning on his social media platform, Truth Social, 13 times from his Mar-a-Lago base. He implied that his next target after Iran was the Democratic Party in one post.

“Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!” he wrote. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

While Trump claims “the death of Iran,” the war he has started with Israel against the country on Feb. 28 rages on.

He has repeatedly said that the U.S. is close to victory while also letting it slip that his military is not in total control of this fight. On Saturday evening, he pushed back on suggestions that he could not meet his war objectives. He said the U.S. “has blown Iran off the map,” only to undercut his own authority by begging Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz.

The commander-in-chief also reshared a post from a MAGA fan account suggesting he should serve a third term and amplifying stolen election conspiracies. Trump, 79, has repeatedly threatened to circumvent the 22nd Amendment, which sets presidential term limits to two terms. He has even floated the idea of running for a presumptive and unprecedented fourth term in 2032, which would make him 86 during the election.

“3rd term for Trump as a reward from stolen election,” the Sunday morning repost said.

Trump also reiterated his threat to send ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a TSA staffing shortage. He had first shared his intention to send ICE to airports in a Truth Social post on Saturday as retaliation for the Democrats’ refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security in a holdout over immigration enforcement reforms.

“On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts, and all,” Trump shared in a Sunday morning update. “But watch, no matter how great a job ICE does, the Lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. THEY WILL DO A FANTASTIC JOB. The great Tom Homan is in charge!!!”

Border czar Tom Homan confirmed the plans to send ICE to airports on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.

“We’re simply there to help TSA do their job in areas that don’t need their specialized expertise, such as screening through the X-ray machine — Not training that, we won’t do that,” Homan said. “But there are roles we can play to release TSA officers from the non-significant roles, such as guarding an exit so they can get back to the scanning machines and move people quicker, and we’re just simply helping our fellow officers at TSA.”

The White House did not immediately return the Daily Beast’s request for comment.

TSA agents have quit in droves, while others have simply called out sick after the partial government shutdown has left them without pay for over a month. Some agents reported that they have resorted to selling blood to make ends meet.

DHS funding has been blocked as Democrats have tried to reel in the department’s immigration tactics. Following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in January, public outrage toward ICE and DHS has persisted, with citizens demanding a stop to brutal raids across the country.
