“If you f***k around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before,” former President Donald Trump’s voiceover can be heard saying in a video shared this week on his Truth Social account.
“We aren’t afraid of them,” said a caption on the post, which originated from the MAGA.com Truth Social account.
Trump – who remains in the lead of the GOP’s 2024 presidential candidate pool, according to a Harvard-Harris poll released Friday – followed up that video with a slew of new clips posted to the social media platform Saturday. Here are some highlights:
“Sloppy Chris Christie – a total mess, as usual – got a big fat zero,” he said of recent polling regarding fellow GOP candidate and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
“This is a form of them cheating on the election,” he said of the current case against him related to how he handled classified documents.
“I never thought I would say… that as the leading political opponent of crooked Joe Biden, getting indicted and arrested by sick government thugs would be my great honor,” Trump said of his indictment in the documents case.
“The DeSanctimonious polls are crashing because of his stance on obliterating Social Security and Medicare,” he said of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who often comes in second among the GOP candidate pool for the 2024 presidential election. “Nothing he will ever do is going to change his votes against – attracting small crowds that leave really early. That’s never a good sign.”
A FactCheck.org report indicates that both candidates have supported Social Security cuts in the past.
Trump also called DeSantis, who he has supported in previous elections “a very disloyal person,” and said his poll numbers were slipping. According to the Harvard Harris poll, support for both Trump and DeSantis waned slightly in July, while support for Vivek Ramaswamy increased.
That poll also found that Trump had a slight lead over President Joe Biden, who beat him in the 2020 election. More than 2,000 registered voters participated in the online poll from July 19 to July 20.
