This is our 2025 Trump Truth Social highlights from all 12 months, with rougher analysis and carefully sourced receipts.
We need to talk about what happened on Truth Social this year.
Today, we’re documenting a sitting U.S. president conducting governance through late-night AI memes, conspiracy theories, and threats against his political opponents.
And no, this isn’t just “Trump being Trump.” This is a systematic record of how far American leadership has fallen.
Grab your favorite beverage, kick your feet up, and let’s walk through Trump’s 2025 posts in review.
How Did We Get Here?
Throughout history, leaders understood presidential communication carried weight.
Washington, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, they knew words could represent the nation.
Social media changed that, but it didn’t have to destroy it.
What changed in 2025?
Trump returned with:
No guardrails
A Supreme Court ruling expanding presidential immunity
A Truth Social platform he owns and profits from (ticker: DJT, through Trump Media & Technology Group, which he continues to promote).
A president who governs by impulse, spreads propaganda, and treats the office like a reality show with nuclear codes.
This is dangerous.
When the president posts conspiracy theories, they spread.
When he threatens opponents with death, it incites real-world threats.
When he conducts economic policy via 2am posts, markets actually move.
Let’s keep documenting it.
📅 JANUARY 2025: Testing the Waters
“TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!”
January 2, 2025– Most presidents offer hope, unity, vision.
Trump posted in all caps that he was “RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING” after authorities disrupted a terrorist plot targeting New Orleans, using the incident to claim vindication rather than comfort the public.
No humility. Just vindication and grievance on day two of his second term.
Gavin “Newscum” and the Fires
Late January– As devastating wildfires hit California, burning communities and forcing evacuations, Trump used Truth Social to attack California’s Democratic leadership, including calling Governor Gavin Newsom “Newscum” and suggesting he should resign instead of focusing on federal assistance, according to national and California press coverage at the time.
Middle-school nicknames while people fled.
Why January matters: Even the “quiet” posts set precedent.
A president openly promising to investigate political opponents and publicly mocking governors in the middle of disasters isn’t normal.
This is authoritarian-adjacent.
💰 FEBRUARY 2025: War Crimes as Real Estate & Diplomatic Meltdowns
The “Tariff Lobby” Conspiracy
February 2– Trump blasted the “Globalist, and always wrong, Wall Street Journal,” accusing a mysterious “Tariff Lobby” of sabotaging his trade war, framing disagreements over tariffs as shadowy conspiracy rather than policy debate.
Economic policy as conspiracy-theory fanfic.
Super Bowl Sunday: Taylor Swift Discourse
Super Bowl Sunday– After Eagles fans booed Taylor Swift on the jumbotron, Trump posted that “the only one who had a tougher night than the Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” claiming she “got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”
The president is doom-scrolling Taylor Swift discourse like a terminally online uncle. That’s stan-war energy from the Oval Office.
The President of the United States spent Super Bowl Sunday tracking whether his supporters booed a pop star.
TRUMP GAZA™– Monetizing Tragedy
February 26, 2025– Trump shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social reimagining the Gaza Strip as a luxury resort called “TRUMP GAZA.” The clip shows Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu sunbathing on beach chairs in Gaza while glitzy Trump-branded towers rise from the rubble, golden statues loom over the skyline, and a figure resembling Elon Musk strolls the beachfront as money rains down. Major outlets like The Guardian, The Washington Post, NPR, and others covered the backlash, especially from Palestinians, Gazans, and Arab and Muslim communities in the U.S., who saw it as grotesque propaganda layered on top of a real plan to dispossess them.
While people were displaced, mourning, and dying, Trump was circulating a real estate fantasy.
Leadership question:
What kind of person looks at a humanitarian crisis and sees a branding opportunity?
Arab and Muslim Americans were horrified. International allies were baffled. Trump’s response? Defending himself as “a visionary” and saying critics “don’t understand business.”
The Zelensky Humiliation
February 28 – After a contentious Oval Office meeting where Trump and Vance berated Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky for being insufficiently grateful, Trump posted that Zelensky “is not ready for Peace” and “disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office.” He then canceled their joint press conference and cut the visit short, as reported by multiple outlets including CNN and BBC.
Zelensky’s “crime” was expressing concern Putin might break a ceasefire. That’s not ingratitude, that’s lived experience under invasion.
A leader would engage. A bully throws a tantrum and posts about it.
📢 MARCH 2025: “Dictator Without Elections”
Gloating About Leverage
March 2 – Trump reposted commentary claiming Zelensky “will have no choice but to concede” to U.S. demands because Ukraine can’t survive without American support, bragging that he held all the cards. That framing, using U.S. aid to publicly humiliate an ally under attack, was highlighted in analyses by Foreign Policy and The Washington Post.
Bragging about leverage over a vulnerable ally during an invasion isn’t diplomacy, it’s extortion.
Calling an Ally a “Dictator”
March 3– After Zelensky said the war would continue, Trump posted:
“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!”
Then he called Zelensky a “Dictator without Elections” ignoring that Ukraine’s constitution prohibits elections under martial law, as outlets from AP to Politico pointed out in their fact-checks.
The projection is staggering: Trump who later threatened to prosecute opponents and called for Congressional executions accused a wartime leader defending democracy of being authoritarian.
Judges as Enemies: The Boasberg Attack
After a court blocked his attempt to revive an 18th-century sedition law to justify mass deportations, Trump attacked U.S. District Judge James Boasberg personally on Truth Social and floated impeachment, rather than arguing with the ruling. Legal reporting in Reuters and Lawfare noted how unprecedented this was for a sitting president.
Rule-of-law presidents attack arguments, not judges personally. Trump sicced millions of followers on a judge for doing his job.
“When presidents target judges who rule against them, the rule of law is already broken.
🎪 APRIL 2025: Economic Policy via Mood Ring
The Tariff Tantrum That Broke the Market
April 2–9 – Trump conducted international trade policy through Truth Social mood swings.
Over one week, he escalated tariffs on China:
34%, 50%, 125% on key imports,
all announced via angry social posts at random hours,
with minimal visible consultation, according to reporting by Reuters, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal.
He called April 2 “Liberation Day”, declared a tariff “national emergency,” and repeatedly threatened escalation.
What happened:
Markets plunged and rebounded in whiplash patterns.
The VIX hit levels financial press described as “the worst volatility since the 2008 crisis” or early-pandemic period.
China retaliated with its own measures.
Trump reversed himself, paused some tariffs, changed his mind again, and posted even more.
Result: some of the most violent market swings since the financial crisis, with real families’ retirement accounts whipsawed in the process.
Previous presidents, regardless of party, crafted economic policy through deliberation with advisors, economists, and international partners.
Trump winged it on social media in the middle of the night.
This isn’t bold leadership. It’s reckless chaos.
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”
April 9– During the downturn he helped trigger, Trump posted:
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT”
On the same day, shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) spiked roughly 15–20%, depending on the index and time window, as noted by CNBC and Barron’s.
His initials: DJT.
Truth Social’s stock ticker: DJT.
Did the President just talk up his own company’s stock during a crisis he fueled? Securities lawyers quoted in mainstream outlets openly raised that question.
If anyone else did this, the SEC would at least ask questions. Trump? He profits while Americans’ 401(k)s bleed.
This is corruption hiding in plain sight.
“Vladimir, STOP!”
After a Russian strike near Kyiv, Trump posted “Vladimir, STOP!” and tried to spin it as tough love toward Putin, undermining traditional diplomacy with an all-caps social media plea. Foreign-policy experts in The Atlantic and Brookings noted the unseriousness and potential danger of this approach.
If your foreign policy model is “post at a nuclear power in all caps and hope for the best,” something has gone very wrong.
It’s the “drunk text your ex” school of diplomacy, except the ex has hypersonic missiles.

🎬 MAY 2025: Movies Are National Security Threats & the Pope Incident
Trump as Pope– Mocking Faith During Mourning
Early May – Pope Francis died on April 21, 2025. Catholics worldwide were in mourning and cardinals were preparing for the conclave.
Just 11 days after the funeral, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself dressed as Pope, mitre, robes, the whole thing, on Truth Social.
The New York State Catholic Conference and other Catholic leaders called the post disrespectful and asked him not to mock a sacred office during a time of grief.
At a press conference, Trump claimed he hadn’t even seen the image until later and suggested “maybe it was AI,” while also insisting “Catholics loved it.”
Narcissism so profound it can’t respect even death and faith.
A leader understands symbolism, respects traditions, knows when to stay quiet. Trump turned a solemn moment into personal branding.
Movies- National Security Threat
May 4– Trump announced a 100% tariff on all films made outside the U.S., calling foreign films “propaganda” and a “national security threat.” Reuters, The Guardian, and entertainment trades like Variety all covered the policy and the backlash from Hollywood and U.S. allies.
British period dramas? National security threat.
French cinema? Propaganda.
Supreme Court as Personal Legal Team
May 17– After rulings he didn’t like, Trump demanded on Truth Social that “The Supreme Court must come to the RESCUE OF AMERICA,” treating the Court like nine personal lawyers. Legal commentators in SCOTUSblog and NYT noted how openly he framed the Court as his political ally.
Taylor Swift, Round 2: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT”
Mid-May – In another swing at Taylor Swift, Trump posted that ever since he said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she was “no longer HOT,” insisting “being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be”, covered by E! News and The Daily Beast.
A healthy democracy has presidents who:
Respect judicial independence
Don’t obsessively neg celebrities between immigration orders
Here, the Supreme Court and a pop star occupy the same mental category: people who should cater to his feelings—or be punished.
I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” – President of the United States, May 2025
🤡 JUNE 2025: Name-Calling Gets Personal
“Largest Mass Deportation Program in History”
Throughout June– Trump repeatedly promised the “single largest Mass Deportation Program in History” via social media and speeches, focused on Democratic-run cities and so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions. Outlets like The New York Times and NPR documented the scope of these plans and the parallels with past mass expulsions.
He talks about rounding up millions of people like it’s a content strategy, not a humanitarian catastrophe.
“Communist Lunatic”
June 25 – Trump called NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a “communist lunatic” on Truth Social, as documented in local New York coverage and national outlets tracking his rhetoric.
Presidents used to stay out of local races. They definitely didn’t use mental health slurs against opponents.
But Trump has degraded discourse so thoroughly this barely made headlines.
That’s how norms die, not with a bang, but with so many violations we stop noticing.
Escalating Name Calling Pattern
Throughout June, Trump ramped up attacks on Democrats, testing increasingly extreme language, “lunatics,” “slimeballs,” “threats to humanity”, in posts and speeches.
When a president consistently dehumanizes opponents, he primes supporters to see violence as justified. Scholars of authoritarianism have repeatedly warned that this “dehumanize, threaten, act” sequence is a classic pattern.
🦸 JULY 2025: AI Trump Discovers His “True” Self
Superman Trump
July 10–11– The White House’s official social media accounts posted an AI-generated movie-poster-style image of Trump as Superman, cape, muscles, “Symbol of Hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way. SUPERMAN TRUMP.” prompting mockery and concern about the use of state channels for personality cult imagery. AP, The National, and Variety all covered the Superman meme.
Healthy leaders don’t need to post AI images of themselves as superheroes. Secure people don’t require constant ego-stroking through digitally altered fantasy images.
This is textbook narcissism on the world stage:
“SLIMEBALLS” and “Total Authorization” for ICE
July 11 – Trump said protesters throwing objects at ICE officers should be arrested as “SLIMEBALLS,” granting agents “Total Authorization” to protect themselves “using whatever means is necessary,” according to coverage in CNN and The Guardian on his ICE crackdown rhetoric.
Stripping Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship
July 12– Trump posted that because Rosie O’Donnell is “not in the best interests of our Great Country,” he was considering taking away her citizenship and suggested she should stay in Ireland “if they want her.” This was highlighted in fact-checks by PBS NewsHour and Axios as an alarming flirtation with stripping citizenship from critics.
Presidents are supposed to reassure people that rights and citizenship are stable.
Instead, he’s joking-but-not-joking about stripping a critic’s citizenship while green-lighting “whatever means necessary” from federal agents.
It’s the authoritarian impulse in two acts:
Punish enemies
Unleash force
Obama in Prison Jumpsuits
July 20– Trump posted fake AI images showing Barack Obama and Ben Rhodes in prison jumpsuits. AP and The New York Times noted this as part of a broader wave of AI “revenge fantasy” imagery from the White House.
Past presidents respected their predecessors publicly across party lines. Trump posts deepfakes of his predecessor in prison.
This isn’t political rivalry, it’s obsessive revenge fantasy shared with millions as though it were policy.
💪 AUGUST 2025: Health Denials & More AI Megalomania
“NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE”
August 31– Amid questions about Trump’s health and a brief disappearance from public view, he posted:
“NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE. Also, DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE! President DJT.”
That exact wording is quoted in NBC Washington, E! News, and other outlets covering his health meltdown.
Nothing screams “I’m totally fine” like an unsolicited all-caps health update coupled with an obviously false crime claim.
Healthy leaders don’t shout about wellness. Transparent leaders release medical records. Trump gives shouty posts with lies.
AI Posting Spree
Late August, after health rumors intensified, Trump went on a Truth Social binge posting AI-generated images of himself, hyper-muscular, heroic, ageless. Articles in AP and NDTV documented: Trump as superhero, king, Jedi, and more.
Governance becomes cosplay: AI art on one screen, real people suffering on the other.
“No More Mr. Nice Guy” for the Homeless
Around the same time, Trump posted that homeless people “have to move out” of Washington, D.C. “IMMEDIATELY,” promising “NO MORE MR NICE GUY” and tying the unhoused to crime and disorder, as reported by The Guardian, Axios, CBS, and local outlets.
Instead of treating homelessness as a policy challenge, he treats people as an eyesore to be swept away.
🎭 SEPTEMBER 2025: The Month Everything Got Worse
Chicago: “The Worst and Most Dangerous City in the World”
September 2– As his administration flooded Chicago with federal forces and National Guard units, Trump posted that Chicago is “the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far” and later “CHICAGO IS THE MURDER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!” despite homicide rates falling, as shown in FBI data and reporting from AP, ABC News, TRT World, and Time.
He framed a U.S. city as a war zone to justify militarized crackdowns and immigration raids, even as analyses showed most people detained in “Operation Midway Blitz” had no criminal convictions.
Domestically: describe an American city like occupied territory.
Internationally: treat huge diplomatic shifts like messy group-chat drama.
“We’ve Lost India and Russia to Deepest, Darkest China”
In the same week, after a summit where Narendra Modi and Vladimir Putin appeared with Xi Jinping, Trump posted that the U.S. had “lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China,” suggesting allies had defected, as reported by Financial Times and BBC.
Apocalypse Now
September 6– Trump posted an AI image of himself over the “Apocalypse Now” movie poster, a film about war’s moral corruption.
The lack of self-awareness is breathtaking. He saw a film about monstrous leadership as a branding opportunity.
THE BIG SLIP🚨
September 20, 2025– This might be the most important moment of the year.
Trump meant to send a PRIVATE MESSAGE to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Instead, he posted it publicly to roughly 10.8 million followers:
“Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
Multiple outlets including Reuters, The Guardian, and The New York Times confirmed the text and that it was initially visible to the public before being deleted.
What happened next:
Bondi saw it, was furious, and called the White House.
Trump was “surprised to learn” it was public.
His reaction when told: “Oh.”
Quick damage control post: “Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job!”
Within days, James Comey was indicted. Weeks later, New York AG Letitia James was indicted, as detailed in subsequent coverage.
This wasn’t a bug. This was the sitting President accidentally revealing he directly pressures the Attorney General to prosecute his political enemies.
Nixon’s entire presidency imploded because of secret tapes proving obstruction.
Trump just… posted it. Publicly. Then shrugged.
And half the country didn’t even blink.
This is how democracies die. Not through coups, but through normalized corruption.
The Racist Sombrero Video
September 29– Hours before a potential government shutdown, after meeting with Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, Trump posted an AI-generated video showing:
Jeffries (the first Black House leader) in a cartoon sombrero with a fake mustache
Mariachi music
Fake audio of Schumer saying Democrats need “illegal alien” voters and lamenting that “not even Black people want to vote for us anymore, even Latinos hate us”
This was documented extensively in AP, The Guardian, and CNN, which also noted the racist stereotyping and deepfake elements.
Jeffries’ response on X:
“Mr. President, the next time you have something to say about me, don’t cop out through a racist and fake AI video. When I’m back in the Oval Office, say it to my face.”
Schumer called Trump out for “trolling away on the internet like a 10-year-old” hours before a shutdown.
VP Vance? He laughed and called it “poking a little bit of fun,” as quoted in NBC News and Politico.
There was a time when posting racist caricatures of Black and Latino leaders would have ended a political career overnight.
Trump does it from the White House, his VP defends it, and we move on.
This is the degradation of American democracy in real-time.
September was devastating for democracy. Does any of this surprise you?
🌍 OCTOBER 2025: Deepfakes, More Racism, and Tariff Threats
More Jeffries Harassment
October 3– After Hakeem Jeffries condemned Trump’s first racist AI video as “disgusting,” Trump posted a second clip of Jeffries’ MSNBC interview with the same fake sombrero and mustache added again, set to mariachi music. Reporting from The Guardian and Reuters notes that in this follow-up video, a mariachi band featuring multiple Trumps plays in the background as the clip loops on White House briefing room screens during the shutdown.
The president is cyberbullying a Congressional leader during a government funding crisis with racist imagery. Repeatedly. And we’ve normalized it.
China Rare Earth Tantrum
October 10– Trump threatened a 100% tariff on China over rare-earth export controls, claiming China wanted to hold the world “captive.” He suggested canceling his meeting with Xi and posted that “very strange things” were happening in China and that he had “been proven right” all along. Financial and diplomatic coverage by Reuters and FT documented the market reaction and diplomatic fallout.
🦃 NOVEMBER 2025: Death Threats Meet Holiday “Cheer”
SNAP Benefits Weaponized
Early November– During a government shutdown fight, Trump posted that SNAP food assistance “will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government.” A federal judge later ordered his administration to fund benefits fully, warning in the opinion that “people will go hungry” and “suffering will occur” if Trump’s stance held language quoted in coverage from Reuters and local outlets like Arizona Luminaria.
Trump literally tried to use food assistance as a hostage and then bragged about it online.
“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” ⚠️
November 20, 2025– When Democratic lawmakers including veterans and former CIA officers released a video urging soldiers to refuse illegal orders, Trump exploded on Truth Social:
“Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.”
“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
He then reposted content calling them “terrorists” and suggesting they should be hanged (through a share/re-post). Major outlets including Reuters, AP, and CNN all confirmed the language and documented bipartisan alarm.
These are sitting members of Congress. Veterans. Intelligence officers.
The President of the United States called for Congressional opposition to be executed.
We had a news cycle. Then moved on.
This is the moment. This is when we should have seen:
Mass resignations
Emergency sessions of Congress
Nationwide protests
Instead, his press secretary claimed “No, he doesn’t really want to execute them,” while the posts remained visible.
How We Got Here:
2016: “Lock her up!” chants
2017–2020: Threats of investigation
2025: Actual investigations, Indictments, Execution threats
Each time we said “he doesn’t really mean it.”
But he does. His supporters hear it. Believe it. And eventually act on it.
Thanksgiving: Xenophobia as Holiday Cheer
November 28– Trump’s Thanksgiving message:
He wished a “Happy Thanksgiving” to “Great American Citizens and Patriots,” then launched into a rant about the country being “divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at,” before announcing that he would:
“Permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries”
Begin denaturalizing migrants he deemed incompatible with American values
Versions of this language are quoted and analyzed in The Guardian, Reuters, and other outlets covering the Thanksgiving statement and its denaturalization implications.
He ended with:
“HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for.”
Thanksgiving is supposed to be about gratitude and unity. Trump turned it into a xenophobic rant that reads like a 3am rage spiral.
“Third World Countries” and the Denaturalization Threat
In his Thanksgiving post and follow-up remarks, Trump explicitly suggested stripping citizenship from people who had already legally become Americans if they “undermine domestic tranquility” or are “not a net asset” to the country echoing far-right “remigration” rhetoric widely analyzed by democracy researchers and civil-rights groups.
🎄 DECEMBER 2025: 2025 Finale of Madness
158 POSTS IN 3 HOURS
December 1–2, 2025– The moment historians will study with baffled horror.
Starting around 9 p.m. on December 1, Trump went on a Truth Social bender. By midnight, he had posted 158 times, according to analysis of the platform’s firehose by Axios, and more than 160 posts between 7 p.m. and midnight according to Time and others.
What he posted:
Alex Jones conspiracy claiming Michelle Obama snuck into the Oval Office to use Biden’s autopen for pardons (debunked in Axios and Yahoo News).
False claim Nancy Pelosi “planned January 6th for two years”
QAnon content promising Obama would face a “MILITARY TRIBUNAL”
Election lies and “rigged machine” stories
His Home Alone 2 cameo
Multiple Melania praise videos
Questions about deporting Ilhan Omar
Then at 6 a.m.:
“TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST! There is nothing even close!!!”
One hundred fifty-plus posts in a few hours. That’s not normal for anyone, let alone a president.
And he’s the one with access to nuclear codes.
How Did We Get Here?
We normalized crazy. Each bizarre incident got a 24-hour cycle, maybe some hand-wringing, then nothing.
So he escalated. Because why wouldn’t he?
Nothing stops him
His party enables him
His supporters worship him
Media covers each outrage as a quirky “posting spree”
158 posts of conspiracy theories in three hours should have triggered emergency 25th Amendment conversations.
Instead: late-night jokes about his toilet time.
158 conspiracy theory posts in 3 hours. Nuclear codes in the same hands. Sleep well, America.
“Questioning My Health is Treason”
December 9–10 – After reporting from The New York Times and others raised questions about his stamina, reduced schedule, and visible bruising, Trump posted a ~500-word rant on Truth Social declaring it “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for the Times and others to question his health.
He called them “true Enemies of the People” and wrote that “we should do something about it,” and added that “the best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication” because it is a “horrible, biased, and untruthful ‘source’ of information.”
In the same rant, he bragged that he has taken and “aced” multiple cognitive exams something The Daily Beast and Bloomberg noted as deeply unusual and, frankly, alarming for a sitting president.
Normal response to health questions: medical records.
Trump’s response:
Accuse newspapers of treason
Fantasize about shutting them down
Brag about dementia tests
President calls questioning his health ‘treason,’ suggests newspapers should be shut down.
Recently: The MTG Meltdown
In what might be the most darkly comic post of the year (because at least it’s aimed at someone who has helped create this mess), Trump went after Marjorie Taylor Greene:
“The only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!).”
He continued:
“She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple!”
The breakup-fanfic tone was highlighted in coverage from Rolling Stone and The Daily Beast as emblematic of his late-night fixation posting.
Even when Trump goes after someone objectively awful, he can’t help but be weird about it.
The MTG post was... something. What’s your theory on why he went after her? Share below.
We Cannot Ignore These
Looking back at 2025, these aren’t isolated incidents. They’re a system:
AI-generated propaganda depicting himself as superhero, king, or pope, and enemies in prison
All-caps economic policy that triggered some of the wildest market swings since the financial crisis
Accidentally posted private messages revealing pressure on the Attorney General to prosecute enemies
Death threats against sitting members of Congress, including calls to treat “seditious behavior” as “punishable by DEATH!”
150+ posts in a single chaotic night, filled with conspiracy theories and QAnon content
Repeated amplification of Alex Jones and other extremists
Racist deepfakes targeting Black and Latino leaders
Holiday messages turned into rage-filled immigration screeds
Threats to strip citizenship from critics and immigrants
Explicit calls for newspapers to be shut down
Supreme Court treated as a personal rescue squad
Foreign policy conducted via AI memes and all-caps posts
How Did We Get Here? And Where Are We Going?
This is the systematic breakdown of democratic norms.
Every single precedent matters:
When presidents respected opponents- democracy functioned
When presidents conducted policy through proper channels- markets stayed relatively stable
When presidents didn’t threaten violence- political violence stayed rare
When presidents respected the press- accountability existed
Trump hasn’t just violated these norms…
He’s obliterated them.
And each violation makes the next easier.
It’s not just Trump.
It’s that we’ve normalized this.
Half the country doesn’t care. A third actively celebrates it. Most concerning? We’ve stopped being shocked.
When a president can:
Threaten execution of Congressional leaders
Conduct economic policy via 2 a.m. rants
Spread racist propaganda and deepfakes
Openly coordinate political prosecutions
Post more than 150 conspiracy-soaked posts in a single night
Call for newspapers to be shut down
Threaten to strip citizenship from critics
Mock a dead Pope with AI cosplay
Turn humanitarian crises into branded resort fantasies
…and face essentially no consequences, we’ve already lost something irreplaceable.
This is how democracies die. Not through tanks in the streets, but through normalized corruption.
When citizens stop expecting better. When violations become “just another Tuesday.” When we’re too exhausted to fight back.
“Democracy doesn’t die in darkness. It dies in broad daylight when we’re too exhausted to care.”
What Do We Do?
We document.
That’s what this archive is.
When people ask “was it really that bad?”
We answer: Yes. Here are 12 months of proof.
We resist.
Not through violence, through:
Organization
Voting
Supporting democratic institutions
Refusing to normalize
We remember.
Authoritarian creep works because we forget.
We accept today what horrified us yesterday.
So we maintain our standards.
We keep saying “this is not normal” even when everyone shrugs.
Every category in this archive is backed by public reporting or primary posts.
A sitting U.S. president in 2025:
Threatens political opponents with execution
Conducts economic policy via late-night social media
Accidentally reveals pressure on his Attorney General in public posts
Amplifies dangerous conspiracy theories and QAnon content
Uses AI to glorify himself and dehumanize critics
Posts racist deepfakes of Congressional leaders
Cannot go three months without a major scandal
Posts once per minute for hours on end
Calls for newspapers to cease publication
Flirts with stripping citizenship from critics and immigrants
Mocks religious leaders during mourning
Obsessively posts about pop stars while governing
Repeatedly crashes markets with impulsive threats
This isn’t partisan spin. This isn’t exaggeration.
This is reality, documented with sources.
Looking Forward to 2026
How much worse can it get?
Every month, it felt like we’d hit bottom.
If Trump can:
Threaten Congressional execution with minimal consequences
Accidentally confess to political prosecutions with no consequences
Post racist propaganda with no consequences
Call for the press to be shut down with no consequences
What’s left to restrain him?
Yes, we can laugh at some of the absurdity. The MTG post is objectively weirdly funny. The 158-post marathon is so ridiculous it becomes entertainment.
But let’s not lose sight of what we’re laughing at:
The systematic destruction of American democratic norms by someone who swore an oath to preserve them.
Document it. Resist it. Remember it.
This is the kind of history that changes nations.
And we’re living through it right now.
What was your most concerning Trump post of 2025?
Thank You
Your support makes this work possible, the hours of creating, writing, researching, fact-checking, and documentation that protect our collective memory of this moment. We are here to document, resist, and to remember when others would rather forget.
Let’s hope 2026 is less interesting.
But let’s prepare like it won’t be. 🎭
