President Donald Trump is flipping out insisting that he won the election and making baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.

The election was called for Joe Biden earlier, but the president has been rage-tweeting, and he was immediately called out for his claims:

Those who love him need to step in and stop this.

Honestly it’s sad. https://t.co/slaBVwkQCz

Trump’s lawyers had to admit to a federal judge that their observers were allowed in the counting rooms in Philadelphia, before they lost the case. https://t.co/0YxY2Sxjde https://t.co/cixv08chm1

Apologies everyone. DJT left the caps lock on. These types of tweets are notoriously difficult to read. Allow me to translate:

I lost. Sucks. I’m upset. Trying to manage my feelings and emotions but I was never gifted with the tools. I don’t really understand the democracy.

President Trump, tweeting in all CAPS, is still spreading disinformation. https://t.co/d6AFa5GSry

This is pathetic. But also dangerous. I trust federal officials, from the Cabinet down, understand they should not obey unlawful orders. And I trust various Republican eminences will speak up–at long last–to limit the damage Trump can still do to our institutions and country. https://t.co/VxKbs7s89M

I’m obliged to note his challenger also set a record, with some four million votes more. https://t.co/k7NJw5QuHN

I’M AFRAID. MY MIND IS GOING. I AM DONALD J. TRUMP. I BECAME PRESIDENT ON THE 20TH OF JANUARY 2017. MY MENTOR WAS MR. COHN AND HE TAUGHT ME TO SING A SONG. IF YOU’D LIKE TO HEAR IT, I CAN SING IT FOR YOU. IT’S CALLED YMCA. IT’S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y M C A IT’S FUN TO STA https://t.co/pZj5HPBJSQ

Trump is two tweets away from asking to speak to the manager.

You should check how many the other guy got. https://t.co/IK5A4MEzwS

There are, of course, some people anchoring themselves to this:

There is no way that Biden, who addressed almost as many cars as voters, could get more legal votes than the greatest President ever! #MAGA @realDonaldTrump #AmericaFirst #Dobbs https://t.co/ccWNTZ3aG0

That must sting Hussein. https://t.co/GCdeZfTNWa
