The chronically online president wasted no time starting his Thursday, unleashing a rapid-fire burst of posts on Truth Social that sometimes appeared just seconds apart. Donald Trump began posting shortly after 6 a.m., flooding the platform with dozens of messages in what looked like an early-morning digital tirade.
By the time most Americans were waking up, Trump had already shared close to 31 posts, touching on everything from his provocative talk about a possible move against Greenland to familiar attacks on Barack Obama, along with recycled and long-disproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. At one point, he declared in all caps that “TRUMP WON BIG,” insisting once again that the election was “crooked,” despite years of investigations, court rulings, and audits finding no evidence to support those claims.
Much of Trump’s early-morning anger appeared to be triggered by news that the Federal Bureau of Investigationcarried out a raid on Wednesday at an election office in Fulton County, Georgia. The search was reportedly connected to renewed efforts by Trump allies to uncover proof of widespread voter fraud nearly six years after the 2020 election, an effort that critics say has no factual basis.
Adding fuel to the moment, Tulsi Gabbard, who now serves as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, was present at the site during the FBI’s search. Her appearance quickly became a rallying point for Trump supporters online. Trump reshared a post from MAGA influencer Eric Daugherty, which praised Gabbard and claimed her presence had left liberals “terrified.” The post urged authorities to “EXPOSE THE FRAUD” and insisted Trump had been right all along.
The president’s resharing of that message only reinforced the impression that his morning posting spree was driven by renewed hopes among his supporters that the 2020 election narrative could be revived, despite its repeated debunking. Critics, meanwhile, pointed to the volume and timing of the posts as another example of Trump using social media to stoke outrage and conspiracy theories rather than lowering the temperature during a period of political tension.
As Trump continued to post at a blistering pace, the situation remained fluid, with officials offering few details about the Georgia search and no indication that it would lead to any new findings. For now, the episode stands as yet another reminder of how quickly Trump turns breaking news into a digital megaphone for grievances that have defined his political identity for years.
