Donald Trump declares 2024 victory and denounces US press on Truth Social

On July 11, former U.S. President Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform to reiterate claims of winning the 2024 presidential election, asserting a 312‑226 electoral‑college margin over Democrat Kamala Harris, saying he won 86% of the nation’s counties and became the first Republican in decades to secure the popular vote.

He attacked major news outlets—including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC—labeling them “fake news,” warned that the Democratic Party is heading toward communism, referenced his 2020 loss, and vowed a larger future margin, writing, “Everything I do is win, often against all odds.”
