WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump took aim at former President Barack Obama and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell in a series of Truth Social posts on Friday, August 1.

The POTUS repeated unfounded accusations against Obama and former US intelligence officials who concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.



 

Donald Trump says 'Russia hoax' is now 'totally undisputed' as he attacks Obama administration

Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Friday and wrote, "The Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX is now TOTALLY UNDISPUTED! THE FACTS ARE ALL THERE, IN BLACK AND WHITE."

"It is the biggest scandal in American History. The perpetrators of this CRIME must pay a big price. This can never be allowed to happen in our Country again!" he added.

Moreover, he shared a video from The Daily Signal that features historian Victor Davis Hanson, who accused Obama-era intelligence leaders of conspiring to "destroy" Trump after his win over Hillary Clinton back in 2016.

The POTUS captioned the post, "They must pay for the crime of the Century."



 

Trump's attacks stem from claims made in July by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

She cited newly declassified documents to allege a "treasonous conspiracy" by Obama and senior national security officials to fabricate Russian election interference to undermine the legitimacy of the results.

Donald Trump calls Jerome Powell a 'stubborn moron' for unchanged interest rates

President Donald Trump did not hold back and also took a jibe at Jerome Powell in one of his early morning posts on Friday.

He wrote around 6.30 am on Truth Social, "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW. IF HE CONTINUES TO REFUSE, THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!"



 

The message came as Trump previously threatened to fire Powell but backed down amid pressure from some members of his Cabinet and advisory teams.

Interestingly, he made another post at 8.50 am attacking Powell, as he called him a "disaster" and imploring him to "drop the rate."



 

"Too Little, Too Late. Jerome 'Too Late' Powell is a disaster. DROP THE RATE! The good news is that Tariffs are bringing in Billions of Dollars into the USA!" the president wrote. 

Internet divided as Donald Trump goes on a ranting spree

People on the internet stayed divided and shared mixed reactions as Donald Trump went on an unhinged rant, attacking Barack Obama and Jerome Powell in a series of Truth Social posts.

A user wrote on X, "I disagree.. I think Donald Trumps entire legacy will go down as the biggest scandal in history. but that’s just me!" while one added, "The Bad guys wont stop Mr President - and they are desperate - Do What You Must and Do it Fast or something terrible is coming."



 



 

A person stated, "The American people want to see these lying frauds in cuffs, tried for treason and jailed so that they never ever see the light of day!" whereas one mentioned, "Ok, if the 'Russia Hoax' is so plain then where the hell are the INDICTMENTS???"



 



 

One more said, "Lock them up, and then it won't," and someone else added, "That’s not true. The actual Treason that’s occurred here for many years is not yet exposed or the man at the helm of it."
