10 times Trump made us question, ‘Did he really post that?’

As Trump reaches new heights every day in how preposterous he can get on social media, here is a list of actual Truth Social posts he shared.

From artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images of walking beside an alien to declaring “The moon is ours,” United States President Donald Trump has established social media platform Truth Social as his stage to vent, rant, boast and sometimes even declare that a “terrorist nation” is going to be “obliterated” (on an Easter Sunday).

As Trump reaches new heights every day in how preposterous he can get on social media, here is a list of 10 actual Truth Social posts he actually shared.

On November 4, as midterm results began leaning toward Democrats, Trump shared a post indicating that he still holds the power to veto any decision. 

He also suggested that the Republicans lost because he was not on the ballot. “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!” he wrote as the results trickled in.

Iran, Iran, Iran. And more Iran

In this post from March 2026, shortly after the US and Israel launched strikes at Iran, Trump called the Islamic Republic “the loser of the Middle East,” not before claiming that it was being “beat to hell.”

“They (Iran) have said, ‘Thank you President Trump.’ I have said, ‘You’re welcome!’” Trump wrote in a post on March 7, 2026.

The above post, however, is tame when compared to: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

In another post, Trump threatened that if the Strait of Hormuz is not “open for business” soon, then the US forces will “completely obliterate and blow up” Iran’s key infrastructure.

This is not just any ordinary US citizen making grandiose rhetorical claims, but the President of the United States issuing threats that have, on multiple occasions, volatility shifted oil prices and stock markets.

AI Slop

In his fair share of AI usage, Trump has posted multiple images and videos altered to show him in a better light, literally and figuratively.

In early September 2026, Trump went on a massive 10-hour posting spree, uploading dozens of AI-generated images that blew up across social media. For instance, he shared images depicting strategic military destruction of Iran’s Kharg Island with the caption, “Bye Bye Kharg” and “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!!” 

Continuing his trend of sharing several AI images within minutes, he posted a picture of America’s founding father George Washington alongside him in the Oval Office.

Did he really post an image walking beside an alien?

This year in August, a photo emerged of Donald Trump walking alongside a greyish, tall alien in shackles on what looked like a US Air Force base. The AI-generated image posted on the president’s Truth Social account went viral, sparking online buzz as users speculated whether the President had actually posted such a bizarre image. 

Dressed as the Pope days after the actual Pope died

While Catholics around the world mourned the death of Pope Francis, Trump was busy with something else. On May 2, 2025, days after the Pope died, he posted an image of himself as the Pope.

This was another post that went viral but caused massive backlash, with the New York State Catholic Conference stating, “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr President.”

He shared another image months later, this time resembling Jesus. 

A now-deleted AI-generated image showed Trump appearing to heal a sick man in a hospital bed, depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure. The background featured patriotic and traditional symbols, including the Statue of Liberty, the American flag, fighter jets alongside figures of a nurse, a praying woman and what appeared to be a uniformed soldier. 

Racist AI images depicting Obamas as apes

His critics have often called him out for being explicitly racist and Islamophobic, yet Trump does little to debunk the accusations. Last year, he posted an AI video showing former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle during Black History Month.

While many of these posts might be brushed off as just another eccentricity of the president, this particular video drew widespread outrage. Online users pointed out that comparing black people to apes is “one of the oldest tools of racial dehumanisation in white supremacist propaganda” and has historically been used to justify slavery, segregation and violence.

Public outrage grew further when Trump refused to apologise, saying instead, “I didn’t make a mistake.” The White House had attempted to minimise the controversy by framing it as a staffer’s error.
