Donald Trump unleashed 33 Truth Social posts in under two hours Wednesday, spanning book plugs and videos that echoed his texts. The clips appeared artificially generated — Grok on X called them AI — though the Guardian said it could not confirm. He touted meetings with Japan’s prime minister and China’s Xi, claimed Walmart Thanksgiving prices fell 25%, threatened to halt aid to Nigeria, and attacked Obamacare and Democrats while urging an end to the filibuster. The outburst followed Democratic wins, as Zohran Mamdani won New York’s mayoral race and taunted him; Trump blamed a shutdown for GOP losses.
