Donald J. Trump, posting on his Truth Social account, shared a series of statements on April 20, 2025. The posts touched on themes of negotiation, international relations, and an event scheduled at the White House.
In one post shared at 4:09 PM, Trump referred to a principle of negotiation, stating, "THE GOLDEN RULE OF NEGOTIATING AND SUCCESS: HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES. THANK YOU!"
At 4:15 PM, another post saw Trump expressing hope for international cooperation between Russia and Ukraine. He stated, "HOPEFULLY RUSSIA AMD UKRAINE WILL MAKE A DEAL THIS WEEK. BOTH WILL THEN START TO DO BIG BUSINESS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH IS THRIVING, AND MAKE A FORTUNE!"
Trump announced a public event at the White House planned for the next day in a post at 4:26 PM. He wrote, "Tomorrow morning is the BIG Easter Egg Hunt at the White House. 40,000 people expected. I’ll be there! Gates open at 6:30 A.M., close at 5:30 P.M. ALL FUNDS, EVERY DIME, GO DIRECTLY TO THE WHITE HOUSE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION. SEE YOU TOMORROW!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT."
Potential impacts on the global economy and international diplomacy are points of concern if Russia and Ukraine reach a peace agreement and re-establish business relations with the United States, a nation experiencing economic success under Trump's presidency.
