Former United States President Donald Trump shared a video on Saturday, October 14, on Truth Social in which he attacked his critics Mitt Romney, Bill Barr, and Paul Ryan. Amidst this, he said something about cannibalism that left internet users wondering if he really said it or not.

In the viral video, Donald Trump can be heard saying, "The Republicans eat their young, they really do, and it’s a terrible statement, but it’s true." Soon after this, several social media users started reacting to this and said that he must have read the teleprompter text wrong, and that led to this.

Some users on the internet said that the teleprompter text must have been 'Republicans eat their own," but Trump read it wrong. Moreover, this was not the only jibe that the former President took at his critics. He also said:

"If (Romney) and RINO Paul fought as hard against Obama as they do against President Donald J. Trump, they would never have lost. That’s the problem with so many in our Party, they go after the people who are on their side, rather than the Radical Left Democrats that are DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY."

He further called his critics losers and said that people should not follow their failed ideas and policies.
