Miraculously, Donald Trump’s accusations of voter fraud stopped when he was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election.
Of course, before results came in, Trump was preemptively making claims of “cheating” in order to lay the groundwork for his election challenges had he lost to Vice President Kamala Harris.
In two posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed there was fraud in both Philadelphia and Detroit—two heavily Democratic cities in critical swing states.
“A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law Enforcement coming!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social just before 5 PM ET on Election Day, before the state’s polls had closed.
He followed up with another post, writing, “Philadelphia and Detroit! Heavy Law Enforcement is there!!!”
Of course, there was never any cheating.
