🔴 I went to Truth Social to verify a Trump Post and there appears to be a glitch in the platform. In this case, the glitch reveals “The Truth” about Trump’s content.

🔴 These are the “civilians” we’re up against during election season. They’re in addition to the bands of ICE, National Guard, FBI, and even municipal police who will be “ensuring election integrity” on Election Day. Take nothing for granted as you prepare to vote. Do your due diligence.
