President Donald Trump launched a late-night posting spree on Truth Social late Monday, publishing over 50 messages that reiterated long-standing grievances and unfounded conspiracy theories against his political adversaries. The flurry of posts, which began around midnight, targeted a range of figures from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton, while also repeating false claims about the 2020 presidential election.
Baseless Accusations Against Obama and Clinton
Among the most prominent themes was a series of baseless accusations against former President Barack Obama. Trump alleged, without evidence, that Obama was involved in a “coup plot” against him and that he had prevented the prosecution of Hillary Clinton after her emails were leaked. These claims have been repeatedly debunked, but Trump continues to promote them to his millions of followers.
Attacks on Former Officials and Senators
Trump also targeted former FBI Director James Comey, special counsel Jack Smith, and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, accusing them of treason and illicit activities. He reposted a clip of former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard appearing on a podcast, where she suggested that Joe Biden was infirm and that Kamala Harris was the real “power behind the throne” during his presidency.
Reviving the ‘Stolen Election’ Myth
In addition, Trump revived the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him. He quoted his former national security adviser, General Michael Flynn, who has since become a figure in the QAnon conspiracy movement. Flynn was convicted of lying to the FBI but later pardoned by Trump.
The late-night rant underscores Trump’s continued reliance on conspiracy theories and personal grievances as he campaigns for the presidency once again. His Truth Social account has become a platform for these unsubstantiated claims, which are often amplified by his supporters.
