Donald Trump fired off more than 50 posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, during Kamala Harris’ Democratic Convention speech in August 2024 

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, he posted 40 messages on Truth Social, bringing the total number of posts since his inauguration to 2,800.

He’s a damn machine with his stubby little fingers.

Previous presidents delivered significant, and even insignificant, policy pronouncements with carefully worded press releases that had been massaged by a raft of policy advisors. Trump just blurts things out, often in rambling, confusing word salad that veers off into unrelated topics. 

Instead of delivering carefully thought-out foreign policy statements, Trump spews out declarations at all hours of the day and night.  He probably would have announced “D-Day” , the June 6, 1944 invasion of Normandy, Franceduring WWII not with a stern, inspiring address to the nation but with a Truth Social post , “BOFFO!!!! WE DID IT. WE’RE SAVING THE FROGS. WATCH OUT KRAUTS. OUR TROOPS ARE ON YOUR DOORSTEP.”

On April 9, 2025, when the stock market was tanking, he posted: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” A few hours later, he announced a 90-day suspension of additional tariffs against dozens of countries, triggering a jump in the S&P 500 index. 

In June, he shared a meme of himself walking down a dark city street with all-cap text that read, “HE’S ON A MISSION FROM GOD & NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING.” I doubt he knew the connection to the Blues Brothers line, “We’re on a mission from God”. 

On July 21, 2025, in a bizarre effort to deflect public attention from the Epstein controversy, Trump shared an AI-generated fake video from a MAGA TikTok user depicting the arrest and imprisonment of Barack Obama after posting about Tulsi Gabbard’s claims that the Obama administration engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy” to subvert his 2016 election victory. This followed another weird AI-generated video he posted on Truth Social in February depicting his plans for real estate development in Gaza, depicting Elon Musk and a shirtless Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vacationing at a “Trump Gaza” resort in the Palestinian territory.

On July 22, 2025, he took time out from his busy day to whine about late night TV hosts: “The word is, and it’s a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It’s really good to see them go, and I hope l played a major part in it!”

To some degree, Trump is probably wailing into the void, since only about 5 million people use Truth social each month. But his posts, no matter how garbled, vitriolic or non-sensical, often get picked up by other media and spread far and wide., multiplying his audience .

He often ends his rambling texts with curt sign-offs like “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

We’d all probably be a lot better off if we ignored him.
