In a rather dramatic temper tantrum that would leave even the crankiest of toddlers in awe of the sheer devotion to pitching an absolute rager of a fit, the Trump Administration's "Rapid Response 47" X account set its sights on popular liberal journalist and "sick, deluded freak" Aaron Rupar, as they seem to have grown fed up with all the attention the infamous Natalie Harp is getting these days.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump visited Ireland to attend the Irish Open golf tournament, hosted at his Trump International Golf Links resort in Doonbeg.

And wouldn't you know, his blonde "binkie" was all but attached to his hip the entire time -- something Rupar pointed out in a post on X, complete with a photo for proof.

Rupar, who has risen to internet fame over the years for his long-running devotion to providing the world with convenient clips of Donald Trump's shenanigans, wrote alongside a photo of Harp, "Look who made the trip to Ireland!" with the hashtag "Travel With Natalie."

Apparently, that was enough to make "Rapid Response 47" see red.

"President Trump does, in fact, travel with staff," the Trump White House-backed account wrote in response to Rupar's post, before digging into their litany of super-gross insults and name-calling: "Aaron, on the other hand, is a sick, deluded freak (in his 40s) who sits behind a keyboard and posts creepy things like this."

And again:

For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president)

When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point

Rupar was quick with what is undoubtedly the comeback of the millennium, commenting, "I know being in my 40s makes me too old for the president but I’m at peace with it."

The former Vox reporter, now an independent journalist and self-described "lifelong liberal Democrat," has not shied away from covering the president's human shadow, whose deeply disturbing obsession with Donald Trump has dominated recent headlines.

While Harp was glued to the president's side throughout his Ireland trip, his wife, Melania, notably was not, with Trump stating in a Saturday morning speech that the first lady was there "in spirit," as there was simply no ignoring the fact that she certainly wasn't there in person.
