'Executive Time': Trump unleashes 50+ posts in meme-fueled late-night marathon

President Donald Trump spent six hours on late Saturday seemingly doing nothing but posting on his Truth Social account — and many of those posts seemed to reinforce the notion his priorities are out of whack with those of the American public.

“President Donald Trump spent much of Saturday flooding Truth Social with a torrent of memes, AI slop, political attacks, and fan-made tributes,” reported The Daily Beast’s Olivia Ralph on Sunday. “The six-hour posting marathon unfolded on a day when the only item listed on the president’s public schedule was ‘Executive Time.’”

The more than 50 posts were described by Ralph as “ranging from patriotic fantasy art and self-congratulatory graphics to crime memes, military imagery, celebrity tributes, and attacks on political rivals.”

The journalist added that “among the more unusual posts were separate images showing Trump riding horseback beside George Washington on a dirt road next to a NASCAR race.” Ironically experts have noted that Washington opposed having his face on currency during his own lifetime because it was perceived as monarchical, insisted all electorally defeated presidents had a moral obligation to peacefully give up power and only sought two terms to avoid concentrating power in his hands. By contrast, Trump is trying to put his face on a new $250 bill, was the first president to attempt a coup when he lost an election and has argued (incorrectly) that the 22nd amendment does not bar him from seeking a third term.

Perhaps Trump’s other most notable post was a repeat, depicting a giant version of his face eyeing the Danish province of Greenland along with the words “Hello, Greenland!”

“Trump has repeatedly argued that having Greenland as U.S. territory is vital for national security, though both Greenlandic and Danish leaders have forcefully rejected any suggestion that the territory could be acquired by the United States,” Ralph wrote.

This is not the first time that The Daily Beast has chronicled Trump’s late-night postings. Earlier this month, The Daily Beast’s Josh Fiallo reported that he is posting so much, it suggests the president may not be getting enough sleep.

“Donald Trump’s late-night and early-morning posting habit is now so prolific there were only five days in April when he could have had a full night’s sleep,” Fiallo wrote. Describing a “breathtaking scale” to the president’s posting during April, Fiallo broke down how “at this point in his first term, the president had posted 250 times in April 2018. This April, he made 565 posts on Truth Social—an average of about 18 a day.”

Fiallo added, “It is not just the number of Trump’s posts that the Daily Beast analyzed, but also their timing and nature: A third of his social media output now comes during the night.” In total the president posted on Truth Social on 189 occasions between 9 AM and 6 AM local time throughout April, indicating that Trump posted at least once at night on more than four out of five nights that month.
