Trump Shares Deranged Davy Crockett Post Targeting Jasmine Crockett Minutes After Firing Pam Bondi
Within 30 minutes of announcing Pam Bondi’s firing as attorney general, President Donald Trump shared a bizarre Truth Social post comparing Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to frontier legend Davy Crockett — complete with a costumed actor’s photo and the “Ballad of Davy Crockett” theme song — in what critics are calling a nonsensical attack on a lawmaker who aggressively grilled Bondi just weeks ago.
The stunningly odd message featured actor Fess Parker, who portrayed the frontiersman in Disneyland’s 1954 miniseries, wearing a ratty raccoon skin hat. Trump wrote: “Davy Crockett, obviously a distant relative of Jasmine Crockett, and a very High IQ Frontiersman, would be proud of the legacy that he began long ago, and especially Jasmine’s Great Success as a Politician from the Great State of Texas!”
The post contained at least two glaring factual errors. Davy Crockett was from Tennessee, not Texas, though he died at the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 in San Antonio after joining the Texas Revolution. Additionally, Crockett lost the Democratic primary for Senate and did not run for re-election in her gerrymandered Texas district, meaning she will leave Congress in January 2027.
Crockett’s Fiery Response
The Texas Democrat responded with characteristic sharpness on X. “The President is clearly already missing me as many others will… but, lucky for you, Sir, I’m in the seat until January and have no plans of taking my foot off the gas on behalf of the American people,” she wrote.
Crockett then directly linked Trump’s attack to her aggressive questioning of Bondi during a February House Judiciary Committee hearing. “I wonder if this has anything to do with my questioning of Pam Bondi????!!!” she mockingly wondered.
Shortly after Trump announced Bondi’s firing, Crockett called the former attorney general “incompetent” on X and drew a broader contrast. “Well… first it was Kristi Noem, now it’s Pam Bondi… it would be too much like right that Pete be next. I see a theme. He will throw the incompetent women under the bus a lot faster than the incompetent men. We need a do-over.”
The Bondi Connection: Epstein Files Showdown
Crockett was among several lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee who aggressively questioned Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Bondi had promised to release documents related to the convicted sex trafficker after her confirmation, as had Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign.
However, once back in office, Trump and Bondi reportedly tried every possible move to keep the files under wraps until a congressional mandate forced their release last December. Even at the time of Bondi’s termination on April 2, not all documents had been released.
Trump appears in the Epstein files more than 4,500 times, according to published reports. Others in his orbit mentioned in the files include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and billionaire Elon Musk. Bondi’s reluctance to fully release the documents — and Crockett’s aggressive questioning about that reluctance — now appears central to understanding Trump’s sudden attack on the Texas congresswoman.
Social Media Erupts
Reaction to Trump’s post ranged from alarm to dark humor.
One Threads user responded in all caps: “I CAN NO LONGER DISTINGUISH BETWEEN HIS LIES, HIS IGNORANCE, AND HIS DEMENTIA.” Another wrote: “It’s terrifying to know that someone like him is in charge of the nuclear codes.”
A user named The Surgeon demanded: “FFS, REPUBLICANS……. DO SOMETHING.”
Others questioned Trump’s mental state directly. “He’s off his rocker,” one posted. Poster Ramona Bu joked: “Susie Wiles, your Kindergarten sucks. The orange fat kid with the oversized diapers has the phone again,” referring to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Not the First Time
This marks at least the second time Trump has suggested Crockett is related to Davy Crockett. Back in August 2025, during an interview with Squawk Box, Trump called her a “low IQ” lawmaker — one of his favorite insults for Democrats — and mused: “I wonder if she’s any relationship to the late, great Davy Crockett, who was a great, great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett. The great old Davy Crockett,” according to The Independent.
What This Means for Trump, Bondi, and Crockett
Trump’s attack on Crockett within minutes of announcing Bondi’s firing suggests the president is connecting the two events in his own mind. Crockett’s aggressive questioning of Bondi over the Epstein files — files that reportedly mention Trump thousands of times — appears to have made her a target.
Bondi’s firing, announced Thursday night with warm praise from Trump, came just weeks before she was scheduled to testify under oath before the House Oversight Committee on April 14 about the Epstein documents. Her removal raises questions about whether she will still testify and what she might say now that she is no longer bound by administration loyalty.
Crockett, for her part, has made clear she will not back down. “I’m in the seat until January and have no plans of taking my foot off the gas on behalf of the American people,” she said. With Bondi out and Trump lashing out, the Epstein files controversy is far from over — and Jasmine Crockett appears ready to keep asking the questions the president doesn’t want answered.
