Donald Trump took to Truth Social to criticize Kamala Harris.

The GOP nominee took to Truth Social on Thursday, September 26, to share a wild rant to his 7 million followers and issue a warning about the country's potential future.

In the video, Trump said, "There was no inflation under Trump. We had no problems. The world was safe. There were no terrorist attacks under Trump. Russia wasn't taking land under Trump. Israel would've never been attacked under Trump."

"With these people, we're going to end up in World War III. It's not going to happen with Trump," he continued. "We are preventing World War III and a 1929-style depression which will happen if Kamala Harris gets into office."

Several of the former president's biggest critics took to social media to ridicule him for spreading extreme warnings and "lying" about what life was like during his presidency.

One user shared a clip of Trump's post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and wrote, "Fear-monger Trump says World War III and a 1929-style Great Depression will happen if Harris wins, just as he predicted in 2020 if Biden won."

Another X user commented, "Depression? The U.S. economy grew at a 3% annualized pace in the second quarter, a faster pace than Wall Street had expected."

A third person pointed out, "He's panicking. Trump's just going to ignore the entire last year of his presidency, where we got thrown into a global pandemic, the stock market crashed and he told everyone to drink bleach. 'Ignore reality, everything was awesome.'"
