President Donald Trump just couldn’t resist stirring the pot with a fiery, now-vanished social media post that’s got everyone talking.
Fox News reported that Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to demand Attorney General Pam Bondi prosecute several political adversaries, before backtracking with praise for her work and pushing for a new prosecutor in Virginia.
The drama unfolded when Trump posted a scathing message, since deleted, calling out Bondi for inaction and naming former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and New York Attorney General Letitia James as targets for prosecution. Talk about a laundry list of grudges. One wonders if this was a strategic jab or just a late-night vent gone public.
In that same deleted post, Trump didn’t mince words, accusing Bondi of being all talk with no follow-through. It’s a classic move—throw a punch, then see who flinches. But was this fair to Bondi, who’s been navigating a tough role under intense scrutiny?
Adding fuel to the fire, Trump brought up the recent exit of Erik Seibert, the former interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Trump claimed he fired Seibert, directly contradicting Seibert’s statement that he resigned on Friday, September 19, 2025. Sounds like a classic case of “he said, he said” in the political arena.
Seibert, who’d been with the Eastern District since 2010 and hadn’t yet been Senate-confirmed, found himself in Trump’s crosshairs with the president insisting there’s a strong case to be made—though details remain murky. If there’s a “great case,” as Trump claims, one hopes the evidence will speak louder than the tweets.
About an hour after the initial outburst, Trump flipped the script with a follow-up Truth Social post, suddenly singing Bondi’s praises for her careful efforts over the past eight months. Talk about a 180-degree turn. It’s almost as if someone reminded him that public berating isn’t the best motivator.
In this second post, Trump recommended Lindsey Halligan as a tough new prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia, clearly aiming to shake things up. He’s not subtle about wanting someone who’ll push hard against what he sees as a progressive agenda. But will Halligan be the bulldog he’s looking for?
Later, as Trump left the White House for the American Cornerstone Institute Founder's Dinner, he spoke to reporters, clarifying he wasn’t upset with Bondi but stressed the urgency for swift action. “No. I just want people to act,” he said, emphasizing the need for speed in addressing his concerns.
Trump doubled down to reporters, reiterating his frustration with past political battles and the need for justice to move quickly. It’s clear he feels the weight of previous legal challenges and wants a resolution—whether that means charges or exoneration. But is this rush for results risking due process?
He also confirmed his intention to nominate Lindsey Halligan for the Virginia prosecutor role, signaling a firm direction for the region’s legal leadership. Trump’s vision seems to be one of no-nonsense enforcement, a stark contrast to what he perceives as past leniency.
In his follow-up post, Trump gushed about Halligan, stating, “She will be Fair, Smart, and will provide desperately needed JUSTICE FOR ALL!” That’s a tall order for any nominee. Let’s hope Halligan, if confirmed, can balance toughness with fairness in a deeply polarized climate.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has remained mum on the matter, offering no immediate comment when approached by Fox News Digital. Their silence speaks volumes—perhaps they’re waiting to see how this social media storm settles. Or maybe they’re just used to these kinds of headlines by now.
Trump’s latest online outburst, followed by a quick pivot to praise, paints a picture of a leader impatient for results and unafraid to air grievances publicly.
Yet, his call for rapid justice raises questions about the line between accountability and political vendetta. In a nation already weary of partisan battles, one can only hope cooler heads prevail in the pursuit of truth.
