President Donald Trump futilely tried to delete his Sunday night Truth Social rant, but his typo-filled fury was captured by various screen shots, The Daily Beast reports.
“Ther [sic] are laws that effect our nation," Trump posted, but then quickly deleted, they note.
On Trump's second attempt at posting, he confused “effect” and “affect,” instead going with what The Daily Beast describes as "the less problematic word" “impact” instead.
Trump's edited version finally made it to Truth Social, with both ending in the taunt, "DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE!!!”
"Trump seemed to be quoting former U.S. Navy Commander Kirk Lippold, who now works as an inspirational speaker, as part of a rant against Democratic 'traitors,'" the Daily Beast reports.
Last week, six Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds released a video urging current U.S. service members to refuse any orders they deem unlawful, an action that aligns with U.S. military law.
Trump called them the “Seditious Six” and posted that the lawmakers, including former Navy captain and astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) had committed “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
This tear comes after another of Trump's Truth Social tantrums, in which he used an offensive slur against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) "in a scathing post at Thanksgiving, where he also called out political correctness," the Daily Beast explains.
"There’s something wrong with him, absolutely, sure,” Trump told reporters Sunday on Air Force One, refusing to apologize.
