On Feb. 21, 2022, U.S. President Donald Trump launched the social media platform Truth Social following the decision by X, then called Twitter, to ban the commander-in-chief from its platform two days after the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection. (Twitter cited "risk of further incitement of violence" amid allegations Trump instigated the attack.)
Since then, Trump has frequently shared his thoughts and policy proposals on Truth Social; among his many posts, he's announced a pause on tariffs, falsely claimed the United States gave $350 billion to Ukraine and sent a Christmas message that ended with the words, "MAY THEY ROT IN HELL."
But Trump's social media habit has also led to numerous satirical Truth Social posts and otherwise fake screenshots to spread online — and Truth Social's spotty search engine sometimes makes it difficult to figure out if a post is fake. (To determine what Trump is saying on the platform, Snopes uses Trump's Truth, a website that makes it easier to find Trump's Truth Social posts — including deleted ones.)
Here's a sampling of fake Truth Social posts falsely attributed to Trump.
