Scattered between featured advertisements calling for people to “Defend the homeland” and “Join ICE today,” Trump’s posts highlighted his recent [immigration policies](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115648159014933946 "undefined") and order to void all of President Joe Biden’s Executive Orders [signed via autopen](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115648129642203325 "undefined"). Others peddled conspiracy theories: Trump shared a clip of far-right commentator and Info Wars founder Alex Jones interviewing Bed Bath & Beyond founder Patrick Byrne, who falsely claimed that former first lady Michelle Obama “went in and used the autopen” for “four or five pardons.” There was also a [post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115648048457923596 "undefined") of a Fox News interview with Director of National Intelligence Tusli Gabbard alleging that she has more than 100 documents of evidence that former President Barack Obama directed intelligence officials to create a new assessment of the “Russiagate hoax.” An Obama spokesperson has previously denied the allegations. **Read more**: [_Why Is Trump’s Truth Social Worth Billions? Experts Have Theories_](https://time.com/6960491/donald-trump-stock-truth-social-worth-billions/ "undefined") Trump Tries to Explain Away Posting an AI Image Likening Himself to Jesus Several of Trump’s posts were shared twice, one with and another without commentary. Many of these posts attacked his [political opponents](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115648153655795098 "undefined"), including California Gavin Newsom, the Democratic frontrunner for president in 2028 and Sen. Mark Kelly, who is facing a Department of Defense investigation for “serious allegations of misconduct.’ Another [questioned whether](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115648080360067480 "undefined") Trump should deport Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar. The immigration-focused posts were vast in scope. One was a video clip of an individual describing foreign nationals who come to the U.S. and “demand you accept their culture as your culture” as “invaders” and claimed that they will bar people from eating certain foods and force women to dress modestly. Several were directed at Somali immigrants, currently the focus of significant [negative commentary](https://time.com/7337670/somalia-minnesota-fraud-walz-trump-tps-explainer/ "undefined") from the White House and the target of an immigration crackdown after an Afghan asylee was revealed as the suspect in the shooting of two National Guardsmen last week, despite Trump’s own admission that they had nothing to do with the recent shooting. One of the posts appeared to be an AI-generated video of Elon Musk discussing the Somali community in Minnesota and allegations of fraud. Many of the President’s “re-truths” highlighted statements from his supporters praising his work in the Oval Office thus far. ## A penchant for posting The flurry of posts was a callback to his first term, marked by the more than 11,000 tweets during the four years of his first Administration, [per the New York _Times_](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/02/us/politics/trump-twitter-presidency.html "undefined"). In more than half of those Twitter posts, the President attacked someone or something, often Democrats, news organizations, or Russia and impeachment inquiries. Monday night's blitz was not even Trump's record for most posts by a president in one day. He previously racked up 200 tweets and retweets [in June 2020](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-breaks-record-most-tweets-in-a-single-day-2020-6 "undefined"), when he posted during nationwide protests against police brutality. Prior to that, his previous record was set during his Senate impeachment trial, when he posted 142 times. Trump’s affinity for publicizing his thoughts was shown even before he became President. He [posted](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/22/trump-new-twitter-record-presidency-102308 "undefined") a record of 161 times in January 2015\. Despite his late-night session, Trump was up early on Tuesday morning. His first [post the next day came](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115649576495618820 "undefined") at 5:48 am: “TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST!
