John,
Donald Trump was a prolific poster on Twitter/X, driving entire news cycles and causing national and global uproar over his posts.
But even after he was suspended from X, he never stopped posting. He just found a different site — one created specifically for him.
That’s where Truth Social comes in. Unsurprisingly, Trump posts on it every single day.
For 50 days, we read Trump’s Truth Social posts so you didn’t have to. Here’s a sampling of what we found:
From calling for the execution of a decorated military general, continuing to spread lies about the 2020 election, and laying the groundwork for more election disinformation in 2024, Truth Social is nothing more than the latest tool in the far-right’s ongoing disinformation crusade to exploit and stoke divisions to weaken our democracy and ultimately elect Trump in 2024.
There’s too much at stake to be sitting on the sidelines.
That’s why our talented team of journalists at Iowa Starting Line and our eight other newsrooms across the country are gearing up to fight back against the swell of right-wing bad information with accessible, fact-based information. But we can’t do this important work without your support.
Thank you so much for your support!
In solidarity,
— The IA Starting Line Team
