There was an all-too-brief period of time when Donald Trump not only was locked out of Twitter, but also barely used his deeply janky personal Truth Social platform, and so the world was able to enjoy a temporary respite from his rambling, minute-by-minute online logorrhea. Alas, those days are over, as evidenced on Friday by the former president’s decidedly nostalgic throwback to the time when any and every rancid epiphany that burbled to the top of his soggy soup brain was, in his expert opinion, fit for mass public consumption.
Shortly after the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection premiered footage of first daughter-cum-White House staffer Ivanka Trump confirming that she knew her father had lost the 2020 presidential race, the elder Trump launched into a wild screed on his previously underused Truth account, in which he lambasted both his former Attorney General Bill Barr, and his own daughter, whom he politely (in his own Trumpian way) but firmly tossed directly under the bus.
