Imagine, if you will, a president who is kneecapping senior citizens' retirement funds, calling them a 'PANICAN' after they express concern. Well, my fellow American citizens, we are all Panican-Americans today. And he made up a word. Isn't that cute?

In a Truth Social post on Orange Monday, Trump told Americans to be “Strong, Courageous, and Patient” as markets continued their freefall.

“The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO," he continued. "Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!)."

“Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!” he added.

Social media users weighed in.
