President Donald Trump launched yet another attack on how elections are conducted in the US by insisting in a midnight tirade that they should not be trusted.With his eye on Brazil's first-round presidential election on Sunday, which is headed to an Oct. 25 runoff between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro, he ramped up the familiar grievance."125 Million People voted today in the first round of Brazil's Presidential Election. The results came out shortly after the vote closed, on the SAME DAY!" Trump wrote. "In Detroit, Philadelphia, California, and numerous other U.S. Cities and States, the results, with much smaller numbers, will often take weeks to Rig, I mean, calculate.

He signed the message "President DJT."
