President Donald Trump shared a three-month-old New York Post front page on Truth Social late Thursday, hours after Senate Republicans revolted against one of his measures. The front page, from February 24, celebrated his State of the Union address with the headline “TRUMP WINS GOLD” and a triumphant photo.
Trump captioned the post, “Have it!!! Great. President DJT,” at 10 p.m. The post came after Republican senators opposed his $1.8 billion “slush fund,” infuriating the usually loyal lawmakers. The president’s other late-night posts included a swipe at Stephen Colbert, claiming the CBS host was “finally finished,” and a re-post of a complaint about “fake news media” regarding Iran.
Trump’s social media activity has been frequent, with analysis showing he posted 565 times in the last month, about 18 posts per day, a third overnight. This is more than double his April 2018 posting rate. Recent posts have sparked controversy, including an AI image of him as Jesus and threats against Iran.
The White House defended Trump’s posting, stating that Americans appreciate his insights. It remains unclear whether all posts are made by Trump himself or with help from executive assistant Natalie Harp.
