Trump responds to Liz Cheney’s accusation of him stopping eating after 2020 loss: ‘I was actually eating too much.

Former President Trump Denies Claims by Liz Cheney

Former President Donald Trump has fired ⁤back at former ⁢Wyoming Republican ⁤Rep. Liz Cheney’s allegations ‍that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy visited him at Mar-a-Lago in January‌ 2021 because he was “depressed” and​ “not ⁢eating.” Cheney made these claims in her book Oath and Honor, ⁣stating⁢ that McCarthy had expressed concern over Trump’s reaction to the 2020⁤ election results. However, Trump took to Truth Social to dispute these claims, ‍asserting that⁢ his post-election ‍behavior was fueled ‍by anger and overeating, rather than ‌depression and lack of appetite.

Trump Sets the ⁤Record Straight

“Crazy Liz Cheney, who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome at a level rarely seen before, writes in her boring new book that‍ Kevin McCarthy ​said he came to Mar-a-Lago‍ after the RIGGED⁤ election ⁣because, ‘the ⁢former president was depressed and not‍ eating.’ That statement is ‍not true. I was⁢ not depressed, I WAS ANGRY, and it was not‌ that I was⁤ not eating, it was that I was eating⁤ too‌ much,”

Trump further clarified that McCarthy’s‍ visit ‌to‌ Mar-a-Lago was not due ⁣to concerns about his mental state‌ or eating habits. Instead, McCarthy sought Trump’s support and aimed to unite the Republican Party. In contrast,⁢ Cheney’s ⁣actions led to her significant‌ defeat ⁤in the congressional election, with the largest margin ever seen for a sitting Congressperson in U.S. history. Trump also accused Cheney of collaborating with​ others on the J6 Committee to manipulate and conceal evidence and findings.

Cheney has been openly critical ⁤of Trump and dedicated a ⁢substantial portion ⁤of her ⁢upcoming⁣ book to criticizing him,‍ as revealed in excerpts ​shared with various ⁤media outlets.
