CNN's Jake Tapper keeps a journalistic eye out for other people posting screenshots of President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts. Trump posts to Truth Social a lot, so it must have been a very newsworthy post for Tapper to single it out for addition to his X timeline.
The president posted this about House Democratic Leader Jeffries shortly after 11 pm last night. pic.twitter.com/2J5Os2yPah

And? Trump calls a lot of people low-IQ. Maybe Tapper was more concerned with the miniature bat-wielding Hakeem Jeffries, who's been daring Florida to F around and find out when it comes to redistricting and had a "Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time" cardboard stand-up made for one of his recent press conferences, being called a thug. We remember when it made the news when Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas called the word a racist "dog whistle."
And?

Where’s the lie?

He’s not wrong.

He's correct.

You support thugs, Joke?
And? What’s the problem?

Seems accurate.

What is the issue?
You forgot the part where Jeffries called for "maximum warfare" against Republicans, using the same kind of incendiary language that has normalized & provoked multiple assassination attempts against the President.

No need to thank me for the reminder. I'm here to help.
What’s your point?

Is that a crime?
This is exactly what I voted for Karen

Are you trying to make me like him more, Jake?
— RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) May 2, 2026
Just here for the ratio and to confirm that @realDonaldTrump is correct about Jeffries.
— TheFoundersWeep (@TheFoundersWeep) May 2, 2026
Retire Jake.
No sane person listens to you.
It seems perfectly accurate to me.

His rhetoric is outright incitement to violence.
He's 100% correct. Thanks for reposting.

Well, he isn't bright. If you were honest you'd admit that. And he is standing in an office holding a bat like some kind of strike buster. I'd describe that as a thug.

And? Would it matter if it was before 11 pm?

If a Democrat were ever to call Trump a racist, fascist, Nazi, rapist pedophile, we're sure Tapper would be right on it. Tapper's very concerned about political rhetoric a week after another Democrat nut tried to assassinate the president.
