A purported screenshot circulated online in fall 2026 of a purported Truth Social post, dated Sept. 22, in which U.S. President Donald Trump wrote that he had "spoken to God" and that "tonight is Armageddon.".
The image spread on multiple platforms, including Instagram, Threads and Facebook. Many commenters appeared to believe Trump actually posted the remarks. The full text of the alleged post read as follows:
I have spoken to God and he has given me a vision of an ocean filled with blood a city of dust a golden throne for me to sit on, eternally!!!, Tonight is Armageddon, the final judgement of good and evil!!!! Lock your doors and do not directly at the flash!!!! God bless us all!!!
President Donald J. Trump

Despite the username matching Trump's real Truth Social username, there's no evidence Trump actually published the post. The earliest version of the image we found appeared on a Polish X account that captioned it (translation via X): "Well, fake, but would you be surprised?" (archived).
We searched Trump's Truth — an online archive of Trump's Truth Social posts — for the word "Armageddon," and none of the three results related to the quote above.
(Trump's Truth)
We also looked all posts Trump actually published on Sept. 22 and found he published four that day. None of the four posts matched the timestamp or content of that in the screenshot.
The fake quote appeared to echo whistleblower reports received by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation that U.S. military commanders told troops their action in Iran was "all part of God's divine plan," allegedly "referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
Trump has echoed similarly apocalyptic language, posting in May 2026, for example, that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" — referring to U.S. attacks on Iran. He's also faced criticism for his posting an image depicting him in the likeness of Jesus Christ.
