On the night of Monday, May 11th, the President of the United States had somewhere important to be the next morning. He was scheduled to fly to China for a high-stakes diplomatic summit — the kind of meeting that, for any president in any era, would warrant an early night, a clear head, and at least some semblance of rest.

Instead, Donald Trump spent three hours flooding Truth Social with 55 posts in what Snopes — which verified the full timestamp-by-timestamp record — rated as TRUE: a documented, sourced, publicly archived late-night posting rampage that began at 10:14 p.m. and continued until 1:12 a.m., a span that would allow a maximum of 5.5 hours of sleep before his China trip.

This is not speculation. This is not partisan characterization. The posts are archived. The timestamps are verified. Snopes reviewed every one of them. Here is what the sitting President of the United States spent his last hours before a major foreign policy summit doing.

The Timeline

10:14 p.m. — Trump opens by posting an AP video of former Rep. Devin Nunes claiming Trump’s transition team was surveilled.

10:15 p.m. — Posts a Fox News video of Tulsi Gabbard accusing Obama of working to overthrow Trump. Then reposts it with a screenshot calling for "the arrest of Obama the traitor."

10:15 p.m. — Reposts a screenshot accusing Barack Obama of working with the CIA in 2016 to engineer the "Russian Hoax" and overthrow the Trump transition.

10:22 p.m. — Attacks Dominion Voting Systems, claiming they switched votes in the 2020 election. This claim has been rejected by more than 60 courts, including courts with Trump-appointed judges. Dominion won an $787.5 million defamation settlement against Fox News over these exact claims.

10:22 p.m. — Attacks Fulton County, Georgia again over 2020 election fraud claims. Georgia Republican officials, including the Secretary of State and Governor, found no evidence of widespread fraud. The state certified Biden’s victory twice.

10:23 p.m. — Claims Obama personally made $120 million from the Affordable Care Act. This claim is fabricated. It has no basis in any documented financial record.

10:23 p.m. — Cites Sidney Powell on the 2020 election. Powell later admitted in court filings that her 2020 election claims were not meant to be taken as statements of fact. She was disbarred in several states.

10:24 p.m. — Posts content from a fake JFK Jr. account claiming Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. The JFK Jr. account is a QAnon-adjacent conspiracy account. The wiretapping claim was investigated by the DOJ during Trump’s own first term and found to be false.

10:27 p.m. — Demands Senator Mark Kelly resign.

10:29 p.m. — Claims neither Biden nor Harris were actually in charge of the Biden administration.

10:29 p.m. — Attacks Fulton County again.

10:30 p.m. — Demands that special prosecutor Jack Smith be arrested.

10:30 p.m. — Accuses Obama, Hillary Clinton, and former FBI Director James Comey of treason.

10:39 p.m. — Reposts a MAGA account claiming to have "secret intel" proving Clinton and Obama committed crimes. No such intel has ever been produced or verified.

10:39 p.m. — Reposts a post saying Hillary Clinton should be sent to Haiti.

10:40 p.m. — Claims the DOJ is "working hard" to arrest his political enemies for treason.

10:40 p.m. — Then reposts a MAGA account attacking his own DOJ and his own attorney Todd Blanche for failing to arrest those same political enemies — directly contradicting the previous post by approximately 60 seconds.

10:40 p.m. — Posts a TikTok video of people stealing from a convenience store.

10:41 p.m. — Posts a TikTok of someone taking a DoorDash order.

10:41 p.m. — Accuses Obama, John Brennan, and Hillary Clinton of sedition and treason again.

10:42 p.m. — Posts a CCTV video of a man knocking over a tray of food a waiter was carrying.

10:47 p.m. — Calls Obama "the most DEMONIC FORCE in American politics in decades" and reposts content calling for his arrest along with Biden’s and Clinton’s, writing: "Arrest them all. Prosecute them all. Incarcerate them all at once for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. But first Barack Obama."

10:47 p.m. — Reposts Mike Flynn’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

10:49 p.m. — Attacks Dominion Voting Systems again.

10:51 p.m. — Reposts a fake Charlie Kirk account — not the real Charlie Kirk, a fake impersonator account — claiming Obama blocked the prosecution of Hillary Clinton.

11:28 p.m. — Claims a senior Democrat testified under oath that Senator Adam Schiff leaked classified information.

1:12 a.m. — Posts a 400-word attack against The New York Times for reporting that his Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation will cost significantly more than he had publicly claimed.

The next post comes at 6:46 a.m. — 5 hours and 34 minutes later. He had a China summit to prepare for.

What Else Was in the Feed

Between the conspiracy theories and treason accusations, Trump also posted AI-generated images. One showed Obama, Biden, and Nancy Pelosi submerged up to their necks in dirty water in a degraded version of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — the same pool he is currently renovating at taxpayer expense — captioned "Dumacrats Love Sewage." Another AI-generated image attacked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, claiming he lives in luxury while his district is a "rat-infested slum."

He also posted a mock-up of a $100 "federal victory note" featuring his own face.

The Context

This posting session did not occur in isolation. The Daily Beast analyzed Trump’s sleep patterns in April 2026 and found he got a minimum of eight hours of sleep on only five nights in the entire month — during a period when the United States was actively at war with Iran, gas prices were elevated, the economy was deteriorating, and multiple constitutional crises were unfolding simultaneously.

On the day before this posting session, Trump was caught appearing to fall asleep during a White House event. The White House insisted it was "a really long blink." Video of the moment was widely circulated.

The White House announced this week that Trump will undergo a medical and dental examination on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll released this week found that 59% of Americans believe Trump lacks the mental capacity to lead the country. 55% say he is not physically fit for the office. These are not fringe assessments from partisan critics. They represent the majority view of the American public.

In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, James Comey — one of the people Trump accused of treason at 10:30 p.m. — was asked whether Trump seemed to have changed since their interactions during his first term. Comey’s response was measured and simple: he noted the obvious.

What This Is

Every claim Trump posted on the night of May 11th about the 2020 election has been adjudicated in court. Every one. Across more than 60 cases. Including cases before judges he appointed. Including the $787.5 million defamation settlement Dominion extracted from Fox News for broadcasting exactly these claims. The "stolen election" has been examined by Republican secretaries of state, Republican governors, Republican-appointed judges, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and multiple bipartisan election oversight bodies. None of them found evidence of widespread fraud sufficient to change any outcome.

Every claim about Obama "engineering a coup," making $120 million from the ACA, or wiretapping Trump Tower is fabricated. There is no documented evidence for any of it. Some of it originates from QAnon-adjacent accounts. Some of it from fake impersonator accounts. Some from a lawyer who was later disbarred.

None of this is news to Trump. He has been told these things are false. He has been told by his own appointees, his own lawyers, his own Justice Department. He posts them anyway — 55 times in three hours — the night before a diplomatic summit with China, at 10:47 p.m., at 11:28 p.m., at 1:12 a.m.

Representative Jamie Raskin sent a formal letter to Trump’s personal physician in April demanding a comprehensive neurological assessment, citing "experts [who] have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline." The White House’s response was to call Raskin a name.

The White House announced a physical exam for May 26. The country is waiting.

In the meantime, the 59% of Americans who told pollsters they believe Trump lacks the mental capacity to lead the country have now watched him spend three hours in the middle of the night — the night before a China summit — calling a former president a "demonic force," demanding the arrest of his political enemies, posting CCTV footage of someone spilling food, and attacking a newspaper for reporting the cost of his reflecting pool renovation.

They are not wrong to be concerned. And the people with the constitutional authority to act on that concern — the Cabinet that could invoke the 25th Amendment, the Congress that could initiate impeachment — are continuing to do what they have done since January:

Nothing.

The posts are archived. The timestamps are verified. The pattern is documented. The question is not whether something is wrong.

The question is what anyone with the power to do something about it is going to do — and when.
