Donald Trump obsessively repeated his unfounded claims of election fraud in yet another unhinged late-night social media frenzy on Tuesday.
Trump, who had already been active on Truth Social earlier in the day, initially returned his social media platform at 9:28pm to brag about the death toll and timeline of his Iran war and military operation in Venezuela.
The president shared a graph showing the death toll and length of wars including the Vietnam War, Korean War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War in comparison to Trump's one-day military operation in Venezuela to capture now former president Nicolás Maduro, which was described as a "war", and the Iran War, which was described as a "military conflict."

"These are the real facts. REPORT THEM!" Trump captioned the post. Over the next two hours and 19 minutes, the president posted 15 more times, with many of the posts centering on his long-running and unsubstantiated claims of "rigged" elections.
"Rigged Elections!!!" Trump raged in his next post at 9:58pm as he shared a statement from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill directly denying election fraud.
In the statement, Sherrill acknowledges to having learnt about a software error in New Jersey's Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of around 6,600 people who indicated they were not US citizens between June 2023 and June 2024.
"These individuals answered 'no' when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers' licenses and identification cards, but through not fault of their own, the system registered anyway," she said.
However, the governor contradicted Trump's claims of rigging as she noted: "Fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted. They were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state."
She added: "As the Trump administration weaponizes elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity."
In a post at 11:32pm, Trump cited a far-higher figure of non-citizens who'd been registered to vote in New Jersey.
"35,152 is the new number just released by Homeland Security of non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey. These are just the ones that got caught," the president wrote. "The real numbers will prove to be many times this amount. They are all Dumocrats! Republicans, get smart and straighten out our Crooked Elections! Pass The Save America Act!!!," he added, without supplying any evidence of those claims.
The Department of Homeland Security said the 35,152 figure was based on “preliminary reviews” of state records. However, the department did not release the data behind the numbers it announced or detail how it had reached those figures.
Trump also published a post endorsing Mike Lindell, a prominent 2020 election denier, for Minnesota governor. Lindell, 65, is not currently registered to vote in the state he's running for governor for.
Later, Trump shared a video of him speaking next Lindell at a gala at his New Jersey Golf Club. While Trump's speech was largely inaudible, a woman could be heard shouting, "Hold the election fraudsters accountable!"
The president shared several other posts touting his SAVE America Act, which would require people to provide ID and proof of citizenship to vote.
Other posts among his latest frenzy include two videos from his appearance at the World Cup Final, including the moment he ignored multiple attempts to usher him off stage for Spain's trophy lift, as well as an AI video depicting a golden coin with the president's face on it and the phrase "In God We Trust."
