President Donald Trump posted and re-posted a wild series of messages in the middle of the night, with more than a dozen shared on Truth Social after 12 a.m. on Friday.
He demanded that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “resign.” He shared a post calling for an end to the filibuster to push his agenda through the Senate. He shared multiple posts accusing former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State ― and 2016 campaign rival ― Hillary Clinton of treason. In yet another, he shared a meme calling for arrests.

And he posted a rant at 1:13 a.m. suggesting that the 2020 election results “be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect!”
“The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the greatest political scams in American History, has been charged with FRAUD,” Trump wrote, referring to an indictment this week accusing the organization of funding extremist groups via its use of paid informants.
“This is another Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue, and many others,” he added.
ActBlue is the fundraising platform that has raised billions for Democratic candidates, now facing scrutiny over how it vetted donors.

Trump concluded:
“If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT”
Trump has claimed repeatedly, without evidence, that the 2020 election was marred by fraud and insisted that he won.
He did not.
There is also no mechanism by which a U.S. presidential election can be “wiped from the books and be of no further force of effect.”

Trump seemed to be done for the night.
But about 90 minutes later, he reposted a new series of messages, including a meme falsely attributed to screen icon Clint Eastwood, more attacks on the SPLC and a post calling for an end to birthright citizenship.
