Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States, shared a series of posts on his Truth Social account on May 9, 2025. These posts address economic issues and media representations that he claims are misleading.
In a post from May 9, 2025, Trump stated, "Costs down, NO INFLATION. Very different from what the Fed, and Fake News Media, were hoping for!" He suggests that economic conditions differ significantly from predictions made by both the Federal Reserve and various media outlets.
Later that day, in another post at 13:43 UTC, Trump criticized MSNBC. He described the network as "the worst there is on Television misrepresentation," accusing them of making false statements about him and tariffs. He further alleged that their actions could be considered a "Major Campaign Violation" and characterized them as an extension of the Democrat National Committee.
A subsequent post shared at 14:06 UTC included a link to additional content without accompanying text.
Additional information for Step 3: Truth Social is a social media platform founded by Donald Trump after his presidency to provide an alternative outlet for his views following suspensions from mainstream platforms.
