It’s amazing how the owner of a social media site with the ironic name of Truth Social is so infrequently used to impart messages that contain truths.
Yes, I’m talking about president donald j. felon* who has been posting some really out there things on the money-losing site.
Pro Tip: If you don’t want to sully yourself by actually giving Truth Social any clicks, Roll Call has a searchable social media archive of the president’s postings.

Such as an American flag superimposed over the country of Venezuela with the caption “51st State.” It is not and never will be.
Such as saying it’s “TREASON” for a news organization to report that we haven’t completely devastated Iran’s military ability.
Such as AI slop of former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden along with former House speaker Nancy Pelosi — “Dumacrats” all, according to the grifter-in-chief — floating in a garage-filled Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Such the adjudicated rapist saying he didn’t know the contractor who was given the no-bid job on the Reflecting Pool, when it was a firm that had worked on swimming pools at his Sterling, Virginia, golf club. And BTW, the cost of the “renovation” of the Reflecting Pool has jumped from $1.8 million to $13.1 million.
Such as reposting someone else who called “for the arrest of Barack Obama, accusing the former president of treason, without evidence.”
NPR did an analysis of the first four months of 2026 of the president’s “obsessions” on social media May 8.
The news organization found that the president posted 2,249 times during those first four months, averaging just under 19 posts per day.
NPR highlighted an April 9 post that ran 2,700 characters — remember the good old days of being limited to 140 characters? — where the elderly golfer insulted a host of right-wing commentators, but also brought up a whole other range of topics, like Iran, election results, media outlets he hates and his approval rating.
Instead of calling the constant postings what it is, i.e., being batshit crazy and a total media whore, NPR said “the president’s posting can be seen as an extension of his communications strategy of simply communicating a lot.”
Call it what you will, he hasn’t slowed down. If anything, he’s upped the crazy, with reports of more than 75 posts in a 24-hour period ending May 12.
That said, the orange makeup man actually told a truth and it wasn’t on Truth Social.
Before he flew off to China, he was asked if he took the financial situations of Americans into consideration when trying to make a deal with Iran to end the war.
To the surprise of those who only think that anything coming out of his sometimes drooping mouth can only be a lie, the grifter-in-chief actually told a truth.
“Not even a little bit,” he truthed, adding that he does not think about Americans’ financial situation.
Hey, Dems, the president just wrote your next campaign ad. Make sure you use it wisely and often.
