President Trump posted more than 10 election-related messages on social media within 30 minutes, selling his record and attacking opponents. In one post he said: "Less than two years ago, radical left Democrats led the United States into a 'dark age', but we have quickly turned it into America's 'golden age'. Under Republican leadership, the incomes of hardworking Americans have risen to the highest levels ever... If the Republican Party wins control of the House and Senate, I will send $5,000 to every adult citizen of the United States." In another post he said: "You can defeat these 'Democratic leftists' by choosing bigger wallets, higher family pay, lower taxes, less crime, a booming Kansas economy, and no amnesty for illegal immigrants. You must vote Republican." Other posts pushed policy pledges and priorities including tighter limits on illegal immigration, large-scale tax cuts and repeal of the estate tax, expanded biofuel support and exemptions from specific "red diesel" restrictions, measures to lower drug prices, creation of a Department of Women's Health, and repeal of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.
