President Donald Trump blasted open another online firehose Monday night, tossing out a fresh theory that Michelle Obama used Joe Biden’s notorious autopen.
Trump’s Truth Social account turned into a late-night rally, with the commander-in-chief unleashing more than 160 posts between 7 p.m. and midnight. Most of it came from MAGA influencers like YouTuber Benny Johnson and commentator Scott Jennings, who filled the feed with red-meat content for Trump’s base.
But the headline-grabber was a repost of Alex Jones. Trump boosted a video from the InfoWars host along with the claim that “Michelle Obama may have used Biden’s autopen in the final days of his disastrous administration to pardon key individuals.”
Trump has long accused Biden of leaning on a mechanical signing device to push through executive orders and pardons as his presidency sputtered to an end. Before leaving office, Biden granted clemency to several of Trump’s fiercest critics, including retired Gen. Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
However, so far, there does not appear to be much evidence that the former first lady had anything to do with Biden’s last-minute pardon spree.
Still, Trump blasted ahead, hammering out a number of other posts during the late-night marathon. His feed became a blur of attacks targeting his usual enemies: California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and former President Barack Obama.
He also took a swipe at Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, calling him a “traitor” after Kelly appeared in a video with lawmakers urging military service members to refuse “illegal” orders from the president.
By sunrise, Trump’s social-media barrage was still ricocheting across the political world.
