Donald Trump and his supporters have been crashing out over Bad Bunny performing at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show since October. Days after Bad Bunny was announced as headliner, the president called the move "absolutely ridiculous" and complained, "I've never heard of him." Turning Point quickly provided MAGA World with an alternative to Bad Bunny: the "All-American Halftime Show" (you know, because Puerto Ricans aren't American?)
Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the post in a statement: This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public. But after 12 hours or so, the post was deleted, with an unnamed White House official claiming A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.
Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be ripped off' by Credit Card Companies that are charging Interest Rates of 20 to 30%, and even more, which festered unimpeded during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, wrote Trump. The post continued: AFFORDABILITY! Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%.
Six Democratic lawmakers, all of whom served in the military or intelligence community, uploaded a short online video this week, reminding still-serving U.S. service members that they can and must refuse illegal orders that violate the Constitution. President Trump responded to the video in a series of Truth Social posts on Thursday morning, accusing the Congress members of sedition. "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump wrote.
On Truth Social, Trump said the comments made in the video are "really bad, and dangerous to our country." "Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???," Trump posted. An hour later, Trump shared another post, stating, "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump also reposted a series of comments from users on Truth Social, including posts that said the Democrats should be hanged, the actions were an insurrection and they should all be indicted because of the video.
President Donald Trump's social network, Truth Social, is on life support. Shares of the company that runs it, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), hit a record low this week. Despite an initial surge of enthusiasm after its launch, the company has incurred massive losses, with the company showing increasingly blaring warning signs since Trump took office again in January.
Donald Trump promoted the false claim that Barack Obama has earned $40m in royalties linked to Obamacare in a post to his 11 million followers on Truth Social on Sunday. The fictional claim that the former US president receives royalty payments for the use of his name to refer to the Affordable Care Act, which he signed into law in 2010.
