Trump compares Jon Ossoff to Pee-wee Herman as he leads in the polls

President Donald Trump has kicked off the Fourth of July with attacks on two up-and-comers within the Democratic party.

In a late-night post to Truth Social, the president shared an image of Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff alongside a picture of Pee-wee Herman, the character portrayed by the American comedian Paul Reubens in several 1980s movies.

Trump later followed up with a comparison between Texas State Representative James Talarico—the Democratic Nominee for the state’s 2026 Senate election—and Alfred E. Neuman, the cartoon boy who features on the cover of MAD magazine.

No caption accompanied the two side-by-side images, which were launched against two Democrats whose profiles have been rising within the party and nationwide.

Do a Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein on the left and Trump on the right. John's post would be the most truthful.

How proud we all should be at his sophisticated sense of humor and superior intellect and emotional stability.

What a charmer. Do I really need the thing?

"I want to put some speculation to rest before it even gets a chance to out of hand. I did not pay Donald Trump to make those childish remarks, no matter how much they might have benefited my campaign. No matter to what extent the free publicity and the entertainment value of Mr. Trump's remarks may help out my campaign, I would like to categorically state for the record that neither I nor my re-election campaign paid Mr. Trump or any of his staff for him to make such a fool of himself. That was truly an unexpectedly kind gesture that the Trump campaign made entirely on its own."
