President Donald Trump went on a late-night posting spree on Monday, Dec. 1, sharing more than 160 messages on his Truth Social platform ranging from criticism of former President Joe Biden to praise of first lady Melania Trump.
Donald, 79, both reposted content from other accounts and shared his own thoughts in a slew of posts on Monday night, which began around 7 p.m. ET and continued until almost midnight.
He then resumed posting in the early hours of Tuesday, Dec. 2, when he shared, “TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST! There is nothing even close!!!” at 5:48 a.m.
The president promoted MAGA content, but also launched attacks on his perceived enemies, including Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, one of the Democratic lawmakers and military vets who participated in a video encouraging military and intelligence communities to defy any illegal orders from the president.
President Trump posted multiple clips as part of his spree, including a conversation between conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Bed Bath & Beyond founder Patrick Byrne. The video, originally shared by Jones from his Info Wars show, was titled “Michelle Obama May Have Used Biden’s Autopen in the Final Days of His Disastrous Administration to Pardon Key Individuals.”
In another video reposted to his Truth Social page, Donald appeared in a montage of clips — including his Home Alone 2 cameo — with text proclaiming “Christmas is officially GREAT again.”
The Christmas montage also featured the first lady, who was the focus of another post promoted by Donald. In the clip, images of Melania appeared while Tom Jones’ “She’s a Lady” played.
Included among the posts was a video of Elon Musk that appeared to be generated by AI in which Musk, 54, outlined the president’s “takeover of Minnesota” and promised to revoke temporary protections for Somali migrants living there.
In a separate post, he shared attacks on Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, including a claim that she is “a terrorist from a terrorist family.”
Other prominent figures who felt the president’s late night ire included former Attorney General Eric Holder, who Donald dedicated a full paragraph to, calling Holder an “Obama sycophant” who “did so much to hurt our Country.”
Democrat Adam Schiff was mentioned too, with the president nicknaming the California senator “Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff” and accusing him of being “guilty of crimes against our Country!!!”
The president also went after some of his most recent known targets, continuing to vilify Sen. Kelly and the five other Democrats who appeared in the military PSA.
After he reposted a call to hang the six lawmakers last month, Donald called them “a threat to America” in one of his many Monday night messages.

The post appeared to have caught the attention of Rep. Jason Crow, who appeared in the video with Kelly and others. In a Monday night post on X, he shared, “The President can post on Truth Social all he wants, but he will never threaten or intimidate me.”
Crow added, “I’ve taken many oaths—as a paratrooper, Army Ranger, and now Member of Congress. My obligation is to the Constitution, not Donald Trump.”
