Analysis of Truth Social posts shows Trump increasingly 'isolated, vitriolic, vengeful'

The Washington Post has done a deep analysis of former President Donald Trump's posts on Truth Social and has found that he has become increasingly "isolated, vitriolic and vengeful."

While Trump has long been known for his inflammatory social media posts, the Post found that the former president has only grown more extreme and angry in recent years, as he has produced more than 750 posts written entirely in capital letters in just the last year-and-a-half.

What's more, Trump seems to be now getting his information exclusively from right-wing media websites that have become infamous for pushing bogus 2020 election conspiracy theories.

"On Truth Social, he has largely walled himself off from mainstream political discussions," the Post writes. "Instead, he posts a blend of polarized riffs on the news, fawning op-eds and interviews, and content from far-right accounts."

The Post adds that "helps fuel a feedback loop of false conspiracy theories and misinformation — particularly around the 2020 presidential election."

Another regular feature of Trump's Truth Social posts have been vitriolic attacks on prosecutors and judges who are overseeing criminal cases against him, including an infamous all-caps Easter rant against "CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON, INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA."

Summing up its findings, the Post writes that Trump is using Truth Social to deliver "an even more extreme version of his online self."
