Donald Trump has been busy posting his latest commentary on Truth Social this morning, publishing a series of posts in which he takes aim at Democrats, revisits old grievances and accuses his political opponents of corruption.
In one post, the US president launched an attack on the Democratic party, describing its leadership as “one of the most corrupt and anti-American” in the country’s history. Coming just days after the Republicans suffered significant losses in the midterm elections, Trump’s latest broadside against Democrats appears to be an attempt to rally his party, as he urges Republicans to “fight hard”.
He wrote:
double quotation markThe Democrat Party, lead by one of the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks in the history of our Country, and even the World, is doing everything in their power to get away from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION by saying, over and over again, that the Trump Administration is corrupt. It is a sound bite that they viciously use, over and over again, in order to nullify the TREMENDOUS & UNPRECEDENTED theft that has taken place in our Blue States - Minnesota, California, and others, all over the U.S.A.
In a subsequent post, Trump returned to the controversy surrounding his personal tax returns during his first presidential term. He recalled what he described as a “relentless effort” by Democrats to obtain his tax records, claiming that, after the matter reached the Supreme Court, accountants spent a year examining his finances in an effort to find wrongdoing.
Unlike previous presidents in recent decades, Trump refused to voluntarily release his returns while campaigning for the White House and throughout his first term. After a lengthy legal battle, six years of Trump’s tax returns, covering 2015 to 2020, were subsequently made public by the House ways and means committee. You can read more on that here.
