Donald Trump has lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. He’s lost it again and again and again over the last month, as votes get counted and recounted and all of his lawsuits trying to prove fraud get shot down by courts on every level. His recent loss in the Supreme Court, which is full of his picks, seems to have pushed him further over the edge.

Until now, Trump has mostly posted tweets about how there was widespread voter fraud and there’s no way Biden could have won. These tweets have been flagged by Twitter with a notification that says, “this claim is disputed,” which isn’t quite calling them lies, but was enough to infuriate him even further.

The Trump team has now graduated to full-blown commercials for their lies about election fraud, like in this bonkers video he posted on Friday:
In it, a narrator alleges that dead people voted, that there were piles of fake votes for Biden, that mail in votes were rushed, and lots of other disproved theories. It’s pretty disgusting and depressing, and again flagged by Twitter with, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”
It also asks people to call their legislators and complain about election fraud and has over one million views. The website at the end of the video redirects to Trump’s main website page, which is full of places to contribute money. It looks like the video itself was likely removed from YouTube for “violating terms of service,” which is more than Twitter did:

This new stage of election fraud stuff seems to be a huge fundraising campaign to keep Trump afloat, you see. The grift never ends with this guy.
