Manic Trump, 79, Pushes Bonkers Conspiracy in 1AM Meltdown

Donald Trump pushed an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that Democrats are “cheating” in high-profile elections in California while rallying against his old nemesis: mail-in ballots.

The 79-year-old president was up past 1 a.m. ET posting deranged takes on Truth Social, suggesting that the process of counting ballots sent by mail in the California gubernatorial primary and Los Angeles mayoral primary amounted to cheating.

California has a long history of vote counting continuing for days beyond Election Day due to the high number of late-arriving mail and drop-off ballots. As of early Thursday morning, only 56 percent of the votes had been counted in the California governor all-party primary, while 62 percent had been counted in the Los Angeles mayoral election.

Trump, who has long waged a war against mail-in ballots, including pushing the debunked claim that they caused widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, is now falsely suggesting that Democrats are trying to “steal” the California elections from Republicans while promoting voter-fraud conspiracies.

This is despite the president admitting that he cast his ballot by mail in a March Florida special election.
