What he posted about the vote, Nov 5–Nov 8

38 posts from him from Election Day’s midnight in Washington to Friday’s end: 22 were about the vote. Newest first.

Governor Gavin Newscum is trying to KILL our Nation’s beautiful California. For the first time ever, more people are leaving than are coming in. He is using the term “Trump-Proof” as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to “Make California Great Again,” but I just overwhelmingly won the Election. People are being forced to leave due to his, & other’s, INSANE POLICY DECISIONS, like the ridiculously rerouting of MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER A DAY FROM THE NORTH OUT INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, rather than using it, free of charge, for the towns, cities, & farms dotted all throughout California. They are making it impossible to build a reasonably priced car, the unchecked and unbalanced homeless catastrophe, & the cost of EVERYTHING, in particular “groceries,” IS OUT OF CONTROL. Also, as an “AGENT” for the United States of America on Voting & Elections, I will be DEMANDING THAT VOTER I.D., AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, ARE A NECESSARY PART AND COMPONENT OF THE VOTING PROCESS!

I just learned of the passing of legendary entrepreneur and political genius Bernie Marcus. He was my supporter from the beginning and was always there when I needed help or advice. He strongly endorsed me for this election, as well as my other runs, and I will never forget him for that. He was an extraordinary man and I look forward to powerfully honoring him in the future. Warmest condolences to his wonderful family, and all of his many friends!

Your vote will lead us to Greatness. Your vote will unleash a new GOLDEN AGE! Your vote will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! VOTE TRUMP!

How this page is made

Newsdesk, the newsroom tool behind the show, reads every one of Trump’s posts for endorsements (“Complete and Total Endorsement” and the like). Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, picks out who and for which race, and a pick only counts once its quote is found word for word in his post. Every pick links to his posts.

Results come from Wikipedia’s election results, which Newsdesk reads itself. For the few races it can’t find there, Claude searches the web, and those say Found with AI help. Races are looked up again the morning after the vote, then every 6 hours for a week, and each result links to its source. A count can still change until it’s certified.

Every race, his or not, comes from Wikipedia’s pages for the year’s Senate, governor and House elections, where editors mark each winner as the race is called. Newsdesk reads them itself, with no AI, and a call shows here once two reads in a row agree, so one taken back within minutes never shows.
