"In one original post from earlier in the night, later reshared, Trump claimed credit for saving TikTok via a new U.S.-based joint venture, touting the platform will now be owned by a group of Great American Patriots and Investors while thanking China's President Xi Jinping for approving the deal. In another, he jokingly mused whether he should have invoked NATO's Article 5 pact of collective defense to secure the southern border."
"He also took aim at familiar opponents, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, whose attendance in Davos had prompted a war of words with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He posted that Newsom had made a mockery of himself as he trashed the governor's leadership, then shared a video of Elon Musk ripping the Democrat. Familiar targets Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz were not spared from the onslaught as he shared clips of YouTuber Nick Shirley confronting the congresswoman."
President Trump launched a rapid series of more than 70 posts and reposts between 12:40 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. ET after returning from Davos. The posts mixed reposted supporter videos with original messages touting accomplishments such as a U.S.-based TikTok joint venture and diplomatic nods, while also reviving disputes. He targeted political opponents including Gavin Newsom, Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, shared confrontational clips, and joked about invoking NATO's Article 5 for border security. The feed repeated grievances, amplified media clips and personalities, and reiterated claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
