If it’s a ‘hoax,’ why so much panic every time it’s mentioned?
Screenshot of a social media post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap. The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price. There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!'

Ah yes, Just the News. Truly the pinnacle of journalistic integrity.
Social media post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”'

Air traffic controllers work under impossible pressure every day. The President couldn’t do their job for five minutes, yet he’s lecturing them like they’re the problem.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially “docked.” For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax,” I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last “Administration” wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated “junk.” They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU - I won’t be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'

Trump bragging about a cheaper Thanksgiving meal that’s smaller and missing half the sides is the most on-brand thing imaginable.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: '2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart. My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats “affordability” issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!'

The funny thing is, Trump was on those ballots in a way. Voters have already gotten a taste of what his second term would bring, and their message was clear: they want no part of the chaos that comes with him.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: '“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters.'

Nothing like celebrating a ‘great victory’ while families are still struggling to afford basics. Maybe the reality looks different outside Mar-a-Lago.
Social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'Happy Anniversary! On this day, November 5th, one year ago, we had one of the Greatest Presidential Victories in History — Such an Honor to represent our Country. Our Economy is BOOMING, and Costs are coming way down. Affordability is our goal. Love to the American People!'

Ah yes, the $2 gas fantasy! Brought to you by the same guy who champions tax cuts for billionaires and tariffs that impact everyday Americans.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'If affordability is you issue, VOTE REPUBLICAN! Energy costs, as and example, are plummeting - Getting close to 2 Dollar a gallon gasoline. When energy goes down, everything else follows, and it has!!! President DJT'

When top aides reflexively back violent threats from an impulsive president, they aren’t protecting the country; they’re accelerating the worst outcomes.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!' That post was then reposted by Pete Hegseth that says: 'Yes sir. The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.'

If the trip were really a ‘spectacular success,’ you wouldn’t need to threaten people for saying otherwise.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Worked really hard, 24/7, took in Trillions of Dollars, and Chuck Schumer said trip was “a total dud,” even though he knows it was a spectacular success. Words like that are almost treasonous!!!'

Trump keeps announcing economic miracles that only seem to exist in his posts.
Social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'Bringing back Trillions of Dollars to USA! A great trip. Dealing with very smart, talented, and wonderful Leaders. Tomorrow, President Xi of China. It will be a great meeting for both!!! President DJT'

Republicans gutted clean energy incentives. But sure, they’ll ‘cut your energy bills in half.’
Social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'For all of those people voting in New Jersey and Virginia for Governor, Attorney General, or any other position, please remember this: A REPUBLICAN VOTE MEANS A DRASTIC DROP IN ENERGY PRICES AND ENERGY COSTS, A DROP LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! — A DEMOCRAT VOTE MEANS A DOUBLING, AND EVEN TRIPLING, OF YOUR ENERGY BILLS AND PRICES, TRADITIONALLY THE HIGHEST COST OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! So, if you vote Republican, your Energy Costs are going to go down, tremendously! If you vote Democrat, your Energy Costs are going to go “through the roof,” making Energy virtually unaffordable for you and your family to pay. Also, remember, that if you don’t go to the Polls and VOTE, it’s the same thing as voting for a Democrat. SO, GO TO THE POLLS AND CUT YOUR ENERGY COSTS IN HALF!'

Privately funded ballroom = shiny distraction from the mess in plain sight.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'I am pleased to announce that ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom. Completely separate from the White House itself, the East Wing is being fully modernized as part of this process, and will be more beautiful than ever when it is complete! For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits, etc. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway — with zero cost to the American Taxpayer! The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous Patriots, Great American Companies, and, yours truly. This Ballroom will be happily used for Generations to come! President DJT'

Imagine thinking Putin’s approval is the measure of American diplomacy.
Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over. At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week. The United States’ initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation.'

Oh look, the President of the United States being delusional. Again.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that includes an image of Trump standing with a raised, closed fist. There is overlay text that says: ‘President Trump: The President of Peace. President Trump ended 7 (crossed out), 8 WARS in just 7 (crossed out) 8 MONTHS: Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, DRC and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Israel and Hamas.’

The President of the United States calling for the imprisonment of elected officials with no legal basis should alarm everyone, regardless of party.

“Democrats shut down the government” is quite a take when it’s your own party blocking a deal to protect Americans’ healthcare.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Democrats have SHUT DOWN the United States Government right in the midst of one of the most successful Economies, including a Record Stock Market, that our Country has ever had. This has sadly affected so many programs, services, and other elements of Society that Americans rely on — And it should not have happened. I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!"

Trump’s lying (again). The shutdown isn’t about ‘illegal aliens,’ it’s about Republicans refusing to extend health care subsidies for millions of Americans.
Truth Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Every dollar wasted on non-citizens is stolen from veterans, seniors, and working families. Democrats are about to shutdown the government because they demand we fund health for illegal aliens. - JD Vance. Shut it down.'

Immigrants aren’t the reason Americans struggle to afford healthcare, but this administration would rather spread fear than offer real solutions.

I know Hegseth wants to be taken seriously, but it’s hard when he posts like a 13-year-old boy about to jump on Call of Duty.

This is the kind of thing you say when you have no idea how anything actually works.
Post by Donald Trump that says: 'Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing “candy from a baby.” California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT'

Nothing says ‘stable genius’ like dispensing fake medical advice in all caps.
Social post by Donald Trump that says: 'Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

Health care, the economy, immigration — it doesn’t matter the issue. The first move of JD Vance and the GOP is always the same: shift the blame, avoid responsibility, and score political points.

Threatening a network and boasting about past payoffs? That sounds a lot like extortion.
Post by @realDonaldTrump that says: 'I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.'

A critic of the president was just silenced, and the Vice President laughed. I refuse to pretend this is anything but authoritarianism.
Social post by the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. The post says: 'Everyone please congratulate @marcorubio, the new host of ABC's late night show!'
