The TOI correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump’s increasingly frenetic late-night social media barrages – described by critics as “shitposting” – are becoming a defining feature of his second term, fueling fresh questions about his focus, stamina, and political instincts at a delicate moment for his administration.
On Monday night alone, Trump posted or reposted roughly 55 times between 10.15 pm to 1.15 a.m on his Truth Social platform, according to media trackers, touching on everything from accusations that former president Barack Obama attempted a “coup” against him in 2016, to conspiracies about the 2020 election, demands for arrests of political opponents, and a stream of self-congratulatory and self-aggrandizing memes depicting himself on Mount Rushmore and replacing Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill.
