Former President Donald Trump acknowledged the mass shootings in Maine that left at least 18 dead on Wednesday, right before posting praise on Truth Social for the new speaker of the House, a video of him golfing, and rants against his political enemies.

In addition to the dead, at least 50 people were wounded in the shootings, which occurred at multiple locations, including a restaurant and a bowling alley. CNN aired footage of people fleeing the scene toward safety.

“A terrible situation going on in Maine,” wrote Trump, who is running for president again. “At least 22 dead. It just seems to never end for the USA!”

Three minutes later, the former president posted again – to praise Mike Johnson, who was elected speaker earlier in the day.

“Great speech today for new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,” he wrote. “Off to a terrific start!!!”

Twelve minutes later, Trump posted a video of him entering an arena to watch a UFC fight with the words, “WHAT A DIFFERENCE A PRESIDENT MAKES!”

A minute later, he posted a video of him teeing off, juxtaposed with footage of President Joe Biden falling on stairs.

The former president then potentially violated a gag order again in his civil fraud case by railing against New York Attorney General Letitia James and his former attorney, Michael Cohen, who testified against him earlier in the day.

“The New York State Attorney Generals [sic] case against me is DEAD, but the Radical Left Judge REFUSES to end it,” he said. “He just can’t let it go. Their ‘star’ witness lied like a dog on the stand today, and then admitted that I did NOTHING WRONG! A total SleazeBag.”

Trump followed that by sharing an article attacking Biden.
