Did Donald Trump post a message on Truth Social claiming he removed illegal voters and insulted America?
Executive summary
Donald Trump did post multiple messages on Truth Social during a large late-night posting spree, and fact-checkers report he wrote an expletive-laden line claiming “I got rid of all the illegal voters out there,” followed by “Fine, America,” in reaction to election results (Snopes) [1]. Multiple news outlets documented the broader Truth Social binge and repeated Trump’s false or easily disputable claims about millions of noncitizen illegal voters (The Guardian, Axios, Time) [2] [3] [4].
1. What was posted — the specific claim and the platform
Snopes archived and reported a Truth Social post attributed to President Trump that read in part, “I got rid of all the illegal voters out there, and this is how the rest of you treat me? Fine, America,” characterizing it as an expletive-laden tirade aimed at voters after Nov. 4, 2025 results [1]. News outlets confirm the post appeared amid a late-night barrage of more than 150 Truth Social messages that covered dozens of topics [3] [4].
2. The broader posting spree provides context for tone and content
The Truth Social messages were part of a marathon session in which Trump reposted, amplified and attacked critics and institutions, according to reporting that logged between 150 and 160 posts in a single night — behavior covered by The Guardian, Time and Axios [2] [4] [3]. Those outlets documented the mix of self-praise, attacks on Democrats, reposts from foreign or suspect accounts, and repeated assertions about illegal voting or immigration [5] [6].
3. How reliably the “illegal voters” claim stands up to scrutiny
Independent reporting and fact-checkers have repeatedly found large-scale claims that “millions” of noncitizen or illegal immigrants register and vote are false or “easily disprovable.” The Guardian described a reposted claim as “easily disprovable” [2]. Snopes and research outlets have investigated similar assertions and documented that available evidence does not support widescale noncitizen voting in detectable numbers [1] [7] [8].
4. Where the claim fits in Trump’s messaging and policy moves
Trump’s social-media claims about illegal voting tie to repeated policy and enforcement actions he has promoted: orders targeting cities, immigration removals, and rhetoric directing federal agencies to pursue alleged voter fraud or “election integrity” measures, as covered by Democracy Docket, Reuters and the Brennan Center [9] [10] [11]. Those outlets note the claims serve a political purpose by framing Democratic-run cities as centers of illegality and by justifying tougher enforcement.
5. Competing viewpoints and legal/policy implications
Journalists and advocacy groups present competing frames: the administration argues it’s protecting election integrity and public safety; critics and civil liberties organizations warn such claims are misleading and can fuel unlawful or discriminatory enforcement [11] [9]. The Brennan Center flagged that federal deployment to interfere in voting would be “plainly illegal” and that some proposed prosecutions echo past politically driven efforts [11].
6. What independent fact-checkers and researchers say about scale
Longstanding investigations by outlets like the BBC and organizations cited by Snopes show that top-line numbers often circulated by political actors — for example, 2.7 million allegedly noncitizen voters cited in earlier Republican emails — do not hold up under scrutiny; state-level audits and research find vastly smaller numbers or methodological uncertainty [8] [7]. Snopes specifically archived and analyzed Trump’s post and presented it as part of a post-election tirade rather than verified evidence of mass illegal voting [1].
7. Limitations of available reporting and open questions
Available sources document the Truth Social post and place it in a pattern of repeated false or unsubstantiated voting claims, but they do not provide a definitive legal finding tied to that single post [1] [2]. The sources also do not include a transcript proving every word beyond the archived snapshot Snopes reported; independent verification of the full thread is in the reporting but not exhaustively reproduced in our set [1] [3].
8. Bottom line for readers
President Trump did post on Truth Social claiming he “got rid of all the illegal voters out there” and followed with “Fine, America,” according to Snopes’ archived capture, and that line was part of a larger, well-documented late-night posting spree [1] [4]. Multiple news outlets and fact-checkers say claims of “millions” of illegal or noncitizen voters are false or unsupported and that the rhetoric aligns with an administration strategy to press aggressive immigration and election-enforcement actions [2] [11] [9].
