President Donald Trump shared a Truth Social post late Monday night that called for the arrest of Barack Obama, accusing the former president of treason, without evidence. The post was part of a flurry of late-night activity on Trump\u2019s social media page in which the president shared several posts that railed against his political opponents.<\/p>\n

The lengthy post, originally published by another Truth Social user, touched on a claim Trump has promoted for years<\/a>: that the Obama administration spied on Trump\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cArrest 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,\u201d the end of the post read.<\/p>\n

Representatives for the White House and for Obama declined to comment on the post Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The post was one of more than four dozen items Trump shared or reposted on Truth Social between 10 p.m. Monday and about 8 a.m. Tuesday, hours before he is slated to leave for China for a high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a>.<\/p>

The frenzy of activity included more than a dozen posts that relitigated the 2020 presidential election, which Trump has continued to falsely claim was stolen. About a dozen posts attacked Obama by name, including one<\/a> that called Trump\u2019s predecessor in his first term the \u201cmost DEMONIC FORCE in American politics in decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another post<\/a> published at 6:46 a.m., Trump attacked the New York Times for a story<\/a> that detailed how it would cost $13.1 million to repair and paint the floor of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, despite Trump\u2019s previous claims that it would cost only $1.8 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just a paint job, like lowlife \u2018reporter,\u2019 David Fahrenthold, of the NYT so inaccurately and maliciously stated, it is a deeply complicated work of smart and beautiful construction,\u201d Trump wrote, naming one of the reporters who worked on the story. Trump did not dispute the reporting that reflecting pool repairs would cost $13.1 million.<\/p>\n

The New York Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s attention then appeared to shift in the morning <\/b>at least in part to Iran. He posted<\/a> a chart that implied the U.S. war in Iran was over and had only lasted six weeks. He also shared several seemingly AI-generated images<\/a> of the U.S. military shooting down Iranian planes and boats.<\/p>\n
