Trump's nonstop social media barrage fuels concerns ahead of midterms
Donald Trump posted dozens of bizarre messages, including AI-generated memes, as his approval slipped and Democrats gained a voter edge.
In the days after Labor Day, Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of over sixty social-media posts, many featuring surreal AI-generated content such as an inverted map of Iran shaped like his face. His psychologist niece, Mary Trump, described his behavior as “decompensating in real time.” Polling data released by Gallup indicate a significant rise in Democratic identification, giving the party a ten-point advantage over Republicans among party identifiers and independents.
The Financial one outlet notes Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 32 percent. Opposition activists, including the No Kings coalition led by Ezra Levin, announced early-voting events for October 17 and a massive turnout push for Election Day. The piece also references unrelated political drama, such as Hunter Biden’s launch of a meme-coin called $LAPTOP.
Why it matters
Trump's erratic online activity and slipping approval highlight growing political polarization ahead of crucial midterm elections.
