Donald Trump's New Nickname For Himself Has People Howling
Former President Donald Trump referred to himself as “Honest Don” and tickled critics on X, formerly Twitter.
Trump deployed his new moniker in a post on his Truth Social platform in which he challenged President Joe Biden to debate him “ANY TIME, ANY PLACE!” for “the good of our now failing Nation.”
Critics recalled the more than 30,000 false or misleading claims that Trump made during his presidency.
Trump since his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden has repeatedly falsely claimed the election was stolen from him.
The “Honest Don” name was too much for many people online:
It’s not clear why Trump would want a debate to occur so soon, but perhaps he understands there’s a real chance he’ll be tied up in court by September. As you’re probably well aware, Trump faces indictments in four different jurisdictions on a litany of charges, including the fact that he tried to stage a coup to remain in power on Jan. 6, 2021. Another case involves Trump’s refusal to return classified documents to the U.S. National Archives, many of which he was storing in a bathroom at his club in Florida.
In fact, CNN had an interview with Brian Butler, a former Mar-a-Lago worker, on Monday who explained even more horrifying details about Trump’s activities that were never public before. Aside from being asked to move documents at the club in order to hide them from investigators, Butler alleges Trump was providing Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt with highly classified information about submarines.
