President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday ripped the US as a “disaster” and global “laughing stock” in the wake of the deadly New Orleans terror attack and Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside his Las Vegas hotel.
In a fiery social media post, Trump blasted the country’s “weak” leadership for failing to protect Americans from “violent scum” — just hours after authorities revealed they were probing the two New Year’s Day incidents as terror-related.
“Our country is a disaster, a laughing stock [sic] all over the world,” the 78-year-old raged on his Truth Social platform.
“The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job,” he continued.
“They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself.”
Trump, who stopped short of mentioning the two deadly incidents directly, went on to blame “ineffective and virtually nonexistent leadership” for the current state of the country.
