President Donald Trump showed off a glowing newspaper front page hailing his success on Truth Social Thursday night — hours after Republicans in the Senate left Washington in seeming open revolt against one of his measures.

It was unclear what prompted the president to post the New York Post front page — from three months ago — celebrating his State of the Union address on February 24, with the headline “TRUMP WINS GOLD,” and a photo of Trump looking triumphant, splashed across the paper’s front page.

Trump gave the address in the days before he launched his war on Iran in a joint military operation with Israel, which has seen gas prices rocket at home and overseas. The war is proving deeply unpopular with Americans, according to recent polling.

“Have it!!! Great. President DJT,” Trump simply captioned his post of the Murdoch-owned paper’s old front page at 10 p.m. Thursday. Trump’s post came hours after Republican senators revolted against his $1.8 billion “slush fund,” which appears to have infuriated the usually loyal lawmakers.

Other posts in the night included a final swipe at Stephen Colbert after CBS’s Late Show came to a close, and a re-post of a three-day-old gripe against the “fake news media” about Iran.

“Colbert is finally finished at CBS,” Trump gloated. “Amazing that he lasted so long! “No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk.”

“Thank goodness he’s finally gone!” Trump added.

Trump frequently posts his thoughts on Truth Social, with many posts coming in the early morning hours, recent analysis found.

Last month, the president posted on Truth Social 565 times, according to the Daily Beast. That amounts to about 18 posts a day from the commander-in-chief, with a third happening overnight. The total is also more than double the 250 times he posted in April 2018 during his first term in the White House.

His recent posts have stirred up major controversy, including one of an AI image depicting him as Jesus, and threats to “wipe out” Iran’s entire civilization.

The White House defended the president’s posting spree in a previous statement. “The press knows that they can’t get enough of Trump, and the American people appreciate hearing his first-hand insights on topics of importance to our country,” spokesperson Davis Ingle said.

It’s unclear if Trump has made all the posts on social media, or if some have come from Natalie Harp, who is an executive assistant to the president, but also known to help with his social media accounts.
