Sleepless President Donald Trump, 79, Launches Manic 6AM Post-a-Minute Rampage

Donald Trump has kicked his morning off bright and early with an almost post-a-minute rampage on Truth Social.

The president fired off almost 31 posts around 6 a.m. Thursday on everything from his prospective invasion of Greenland to his long-running gripes against Barack Obama and his thoroughly debunked claims the 2020 election was rigged.

“TRUMP WON BIG,” Trump wrote of those results. “Crooked Election!”

Much of the MAGA leader’s early morning vitriol appears to have been prompted by the FBI’s raid Wednesday of an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, in search of evidence of widespread voter fraud nearly six years ago.

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, was present at the site for the search.

“Tulsi plays no games. Liberals are terrified at this sight,” a post by MAGA influencer Eric Daugherty, reshared by the president, reads. “EXPOSE THE FRAUD! Show the people, Trump was right!”

Fulton County, where a grand jury indicted Trump in 2023 for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in a case that has since been dismissed, has long served as a centerpiece of MAGA conspiracy theories about the president’s electoral defeat. He narrowly lost the state in the 2020 election, and he and his allies have insisted a nefarious plot was behind that loss, pushing bogus claims about suitcases of fraudulent ballots and illegal late-night counts that Republican poll-watchers were excluded from.

The FBI’s Wednesday raid—which has reportedly now seen ballots, voting machine tapes, voter rolls and other records seized—comes after Trump reiterated his debunked election fraud claims at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this month.

“People will soon be prosecuted for what they did,” he said at the summit.

Those sentiments would appear to be of a tenor with some of Trump’s other posts from Thursday morning, even if those pertained to somewhat less current events, and featured little to no actual written input from the president himself.

The president has again called for Obama’s arrest over the Russiagate scandal, which the MAGA leader and his allies continue to claim, without evidence, was little more than a hoax orchestrated by the CIA at the Democratic president’s behest.

“This was a coup attempt by Barack Hussein Obama and his cronies,” read what appeared to be a screenshot from a post about a release of purported Russiagate documents by Gabbard almost six months ago. “ARREST OBAMA NOW!!!”

Trump also shared a series of videos heaping praise upon himself and his administration for its aggression against both Greenland and Cuba, taking a sideswipe at the United States’ neighbors to the north in the process.

“Canada is against the Golden Dome being built over Greenland even though the Golden Dome would protect Canadians,” one post reads. “Proving corrupt governments do not care about the safety of their Countries people. They are only concerned with China’s interests.”

The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
