Another user took a dig at the business mogul’s criminal trials, saying, “’Honest Don’ sounds like a guy who runs a 3-Card Monte table in Times Square to grift the tourists, which is essentially what this traitorous sundowning bankrupt adjudicated rapist criminal caught on tape committing election fraud has been doing since 2015.”

A critic brought to light the over 30,000 instances of incorrect or misleading statements made by Trump while in office, which The Washington Post had reported in 2021. “So the idiot that made over 30K fraudulent or false claims during his absolute shitshow of a presidency just gave himself the nickname…of….Honest Don. Cannot make this stuff up,” the user slammed Trump on X.
