Trump Denies Rambling Post-DNC in Rambling Truth Social Post

We know two wrongs don’t make a right, but do two rants make a coherent response to your political enemies? That’s what Donald Trump is hoping.

Three days after Kamala Harris delivered her acceptance speech in Chicago, Trump was still stewing over reports that he had a public meltdown in response to night four of the Democratic convention. So he posted this to his Truth Social account on Sunday evening:

Based on this post, you might think people were primarily mocking Trump for breaking the dating tenets in The Rules by not waiting for Fox News to call him first. In reality, he got flak for “tweeting through it” by airing hilariously petty gripes likes these throughout Thursday’s prime-time DNC programming:

People also made fun of Trump for audibly mashing his phone’s keypad with his face when he called in to Fox News after Harris’s speech and for rambling at such length that the anchors had to cut him off and end the interview:

Incredibly, Trump’s Truth Social post didn’t just fail to accurately summarize why people were mocking his post-DNC rant. His tirade also included some new and confusing accusations.

He called out “The Fake News,” and specifically Maureen Dowd, for writing “incorrectly that I was making the calls. WRONG!!!” The line in Dowd’s latest New York Times column reads:

He followed up the posts with a scream-of-consciousness call to Fox News, filibustering Bret Baier and Martha McCallum for 10 minutes until Baier abruptly cut him off to throw to the Greg Gutfeld comedy show.

The point of Dowd’s column — titled “Daffy Donald, Turning Pea Green With Envy” — is that Trump is so jealous of Harris that he’s “unraveling.” But his main gripe is that she described his interview as a “call to Fox News” rather than a “call with Fox News”?

Trump also referred to the columnist as “often ‘gilted’ Maureen Dowd.” Was he trying to say Dowd is guilty? Gifted? Jilted? Covered in gold? No one knows!

If only Truth Social had a function where lengthy and incoherent Trump rants were cut off by an AI Bret Baier interjecting, “Mr. President, thank you so much for the time!”
