Donald Trump Flips Out At Democrats' Mocking Montages With Massive Self-Own

Critics ridiculed the former president who just this week called himself "Honest Don" over his "desperate" spin on videos played in Congress.

Donald Trump drew mockery online for how he responded to supercuts of his verbal slip-ups, gaffes and forgetfulness that Democrats aired during a congressional hearing  this week.

The former president ranted on his Truth Social platform late Tuesday that artificial intelligence was used by them against me in their videos, which played during former special counsel Robert Hurs testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

Cant do that Joe! the four-times-indicted Trump said, referring to his successor in the White House, Joe Biden .

But the former president who on Monday nicknamed himself Honest Don offered no evidence to support his claim about AI in the clips, all of which featured real footage.

Hur had been called on to explain his recent report  on Bidens retention of classified materials after his vice presidency, in which he characterized Biden as well-meaning but with a poor memory comments that were pounced on by the right to argue that Biden isnt fit for office.

To counter that narrative, three Democrats at the hearing shared montages of Trump making mistakes.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) played a video compilation in which Trump mixed up the names of political figures and forgot facts.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) shared video of Trump trailing off midsentence and mispronouncing words.

And Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.) showed clips of Trump saying that he didnt remember certain things during depositions.

On social media, critics riffed on the intelligence theme of Trumps AI claim, calling his spin on the videos desperate .
