President Donald Trump has not shared any plan for Venezuela after the U.S. captured its president, Nicolás Maduro. But on Sunday night, he was not worried about that. Instead, he stayed up past 1:30 a.m. posting on social media about election conspiracy theories, attacking Somali immigrants in Minnesota, and threatening his next military target.
According to The Daily Beast, the 79-year-old president posted on Truth Social 89 times between 12:45 a.m. and 1:40 a.m. Washington time. Many of these posts came from foreign influencers pretending to be America First supporters.
Trump shared a post from an account called Tosca Austen, which has about 133,000 followers. The post accused Minnesota of building a special area for Somalis. The account claims to be in the U.S., but platform data shows it may be using a VPN to hide its real location.
Trump’s online activity shows troubling patterns
The post claimed that Minnesota state Rep. Jason Lewis warned about Somali daycare fraud ten years ago, but no one listened. It said Democrats brought Somalis to Minnesota with government benefits in exchange for votes. The post also attacked Governor Tim Walz, saying he ignored crime and even designed a state flag that looks like Somalia’s flag.
Other posts Trump shared said Barack Obama was never really president. Some claimed votes for Trump in 2020 were switched to votes for Joe Biden. He also said the U.S. needs to invade Greenland for national security. Interestingly, many people are now rewatching an old TV show that predicted the Venezuela situation.
Trump shared a post saying Elon Musk will fund Republicans to help Trump in November’s midterm elections. This seems odd since Republicans already control the White House, both parts of Congress, and most Supreme Court justices.
Trump’s sleep habits have worried both critics and supporters. People close to him admit the 79-year-old president does not sleep at night. He has fallen asleep during important meetings, including when General Dan Caine talked about the deadly U.S. strikes on Venezuela that led to Maduro’s capture.
The posting spree happened while his administration failed to explain what will happen in Venezuela after the weekend invasion. Trump said the U.S. will “run” Venezuela, but he and his Cabinet cannot explain what that means. Questions also emerged about suspicious betting activity before the strikes, raising concerns about who knew what beforehand.
On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio avoided the question when asked who is in charge of Venezuela now.
