Twitter users gave Donald Trump a quick history lesson on Thursday after the president again falsely tweeted about election fraud.

Trump’s tweet was unintentionally ironic because it suggested that Democrats would never accept an election that was stolen from them.

Democrats would never put up with a Presidential Election stolen by the Republicans!

Many Twitter users swiftly pointed out the considerable evidence suggesting that the Democrats indeed had both the 2000 and 2016 elections stolen from them.

Some questioned the president’s priorities.
