It was a quiet Monday night. The nation slept. The world held its breath. President Trump, however, was just getting started. Between 10:14 p.m. and 1:12 a.m., the 79-year-old commander-in-chief unleashed a dizzying flurry of 55 Truth Social posts—a feat of late-night thumb-work that has since become the stuff of legend. Let us walk through this fever dream, minute by minute.
10:14 p.m. – “OBAMA PLOTTED A COUP AGAINST ME! Biggest political crime in American history!”
The Reality: The former president was busy raising funds for his presidential library, not masterminding espionage. No evidence of this “coup” has ever been produced.
10:17 p.m. – “Obama made $120 MILLION from Obamacare. Disgraceful!”
The Reality: It’s a completely baseless conspiracy that the Louisiana senator Trump falsely attributed the quote to was forced to stand up and say, “I didn’t say that”.
10:20 p.m. – “Obama is the most DEMONIC force in American politics.”
The Reality: The most dramatic force might be the all-caps button on his keyboard.
10:23 p.m. – “Arrest Obama for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy!”
The Reality: This would be a fascinating legal theory—if “disagreeing with Donald Trump” was actually a crime listed in the U.S. Code.
10:26 p.m. – “Obama wiretapped Trump Tower! Just like Watergate, but worse!”
The Reality: Multiple investigations have found zero evidence. But it does make a great slogan for a late-night infomercial.
10:29 p.m. – “Dominion voting machines CHANGED VOTES in 2024. We have the proof!”
The Reality: Dominion is still waiting for that proof. Their lawyers, however, are not.
10:32 p.m. – “Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 emails! She belongs in Haiti.”
The Reality: This one’s a twofer. The “Haiti” comment is a new, xenophobic twist on an old grievance.
10:35 p.m. – “FAKE NEWS: I never fell asleep at the White House event. I was BLINKING. Very long blink.”
The Reality: White House aides reportedly described it as a “full-on nap” that lasted several minutes.
10:38 p.m. – “The New York Times is one of the worst newspapers in the World. Losing subscribers on an hourly basis!”
The Reality: Trump posted a 400-word screed about the paper at 1:12 a.m.—which suggests he reads it quite religiously.
10:41 p.m. – “The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool project is a deeply complicated work of smart and beautiful construction. The Times lied about the cost!”
The Reality: A $10 million budget overrun is a lie in the way a person falling off a cliff is “experiencing a sudden change in altitude.”
We could continue this for all 55 entries, but let’s be honest—the template remains remarkably consistent: Obama, emails, stolen election, fake news, Obama again, rinse, repeat. In between these obsessions, the president also made time to:
· Call for the arrest of Jack Smith (the special prosecutor Trump calls a “thug”)
· Share AI-generated images of himself on a $100 bill and as a messianic figure
· Take a shot at Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett for failing to remain “true” to him
· Predict the Court would strike down his birthright citizenship order, then blame the judges he personally appointed
· Share an edited image of Obama, Biden, and Pelosi wading in sewage with the caption “Dumacrats love sewage”
· Squeeze in a Home Alone 2 clip (because every great meltdown needs a cameo from his acting career)
· Complain about gas prices and Iran without any apparent policy solution
The Big Picture: A Nation of Insomniacs
Trump’s late-night routine is not an anomaly; it’s a feature. Since returning to office, the president has engaged in 44 similar midnight posting binges of a dozen or more posts, with over 160 posts in a single night this past December. Over 8,800 total posts since 2025, averaging 18 per day with a third occurring after dark—a nocturnal digital footprint so prolific that his staff keeps him on a strict print-and-approval regimen.
The man isn’t sleeping. And if his Truth Social feed is any indication, he’s not letting anyone else sleep either.
10:53 p.m. – “Sleep is for losers and Crooked Hillary! I am wide awake and sharper than ever!”
The Reality: Someone get this man a melatonin. A very, very strong one.
