Donald J. Trump, the former President of the United States, shared several updates on his Truth Social account. His posts included announcements regarding personnel changes within the Department of Justice and commentary on international trade.
On May 8, 2025, Trump announced that "Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney." He expressed confidence in Martin's ability to handle these significant roles effectively.
In a subsequent post on May 9, 2025, Trump shared a message featuring American and British flags with a link to his Truth Social account: " From Donald Trump Truth Social 05/08/25 09:09 PM https://t.co/0OgQWpauKG". The tweet did not provide additional context or information.
Later that day, he commented on international trade relations by stating that "CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON’T WORK ANYMORE!!!" This remark suggests Trump's continued interest in advocating for open markets between China and the United States.
