Donald Trump just had his “Benedict Arnold” moment
Most of you spent the Fourth of July celebrating and enjoying yourselves. Donald Trump spent the Fourth of July panic-posting on his social media network in almost manic fashion, at one point sharing about sixty posts in a span of five hours. It was a dead giveaway that he has received bad news, or fully expects bad news to happen in the next day or two.
Trump’s final post on the Fourth of July was an insane rendering of himself leading the American army in a Revolutionary War battle. This would be a bizarrely unhinged thing for any former U.S. President – or really anyone at all – to do. But for a guy like Trump, who was just criminally charged under the Espionage Act, it’s completely bonkers.
To that end, Trump’s Truth Social post caused numerous people on Twitter to begin referring to him as “Benedict Arnold” – causing that name to begin trending. That’s right, Donald Trump just had his Benedict Arnold moment.
