Former President Donald J. Trump posted a series of messages on his Truth Social account on August 21, 2025, focusing on recent political developments and his views on election procedures.

In a post at 2:17 a.m. UTC, Trump shared an update titled "President Trump News Community https://t.co/tMIbX1eLFN".

Later that morning, at 3:56 a.m. UTC, he celebrated legislative outcomes in Texas by stating, "Big WIN for the Great State of Texas!!! Everything Passed, on our way to FIVE more Congressional seats and saving your Rights, your Freedoms, and your Country, itself. Texas never lets us down. Florida, Indiana, and others are".

At 3:57 a.m. UTC, Trump called for changes to election practices with the statement: "END MAIL-IN VOTING, AND GO TO PAPER BALLOTS. 100 additional seats will go to Republicans!!!"

These posts come amid ongoing national debates over voting methods and redistricting efforts in several states. In recent years, Texas has been at the center of significant legislative changes regarding both congressional district boundaries and voting laws. Debates about mail-in voting have intensified since the 2020 presidential election when expanded access to absentee ballots became widespread due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
