Overview
- Trump shared a Truth Social post suggesting Barack Obama should face a public military tribunal, a legally unprecedented proposal for a former president.
- The post, originally from the user @SpiritualStreetfighter, featured an image of Trump and Obama with the caption: 'ALL ROADS LEAD TO OBAMA… RETRUTH IF YOU WANT PUBLIC MILITARY TRIBUNALS.'
- Trump also amplified AI-generated images, including one of himself draped in an American flag and another portraying him as a 'Matrix'-style 'SLAYER OF THE DEEP STATE.'
- Additional posts promoted conspiracy theories, such as the 'Clinton body count,' and called for raids and arrests of former FBI Director James Comey.
- The escalation of extremist rhetoric on Truth Social raises concerns about its impact on political norms and the potential to embolden fringe movements.
