Trump posts 50+ times overnight promoting election conspiracies and calling for jailing of political enemies
In a late-night Truth Social spree spanning three hours from May 11-12, President Trump posted 55 times, resharing content from right-wing accounts that promoted false claims about the 2020 election, including Dominion and Smartmatic voting machine conspiracies. The posts amplified calls for the arrest and prosecution of political opponents including Barack Obama (accused of 'sedition and treason'), Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennan, and Jack Smith. The erratic posting pattern, occurring while international crises in Eastern Europe and the Middle East demanded attention, raised questions about Trump's mental fitness and demonstrated his continued weaponization of social media to spread disinformation and threaten political adversaries with prosecution. The posting spree began at approximately 11:47 PM ET on May 11 and continued past 2:30 AM ET on May 12.
