Panicky Trump rants of 'devastating' security threat in error-laden overnight tirade
Donald Trump was up late, busily firing off new posts on Truth Social that aimed veiled threats at the Supreme Court that he warned could be putting the future of the nation at risk with a coming ruling before following that up by menacing Chicago with an additional crackdown.
Not long after he appeared on Fox News with host Laura Ingraham, where he floated the idea of “Trump Care” replacing the Affordable Care Act — without providing any details — he took to Truth Social and doubled down on pressuring the Supreme Court.
After earlier stating that an adverse ruling on his ability to levy tariffs would force his hand to pay back $2 trillion, the president decided to jump the number up to $3 trillion and raged at the potential of a “insurmountable national security event.”
In the dark of night, he wrote, “The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The ‘unwind’ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a ‘drubbing.’
He then darkly hinted, “That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!”
The president followed that up with a pointed attack aimed at Chicago, which has been buffeted by an invasion of ICE agents rounding up immigrants. He misnamed the city's famed Magnificent Mile.”
"The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! ‘Just the News,’” he wrote.
