Donald J. Trump, the former President of the United States, has been actively posting on his Truth Social account, addressing a variety of topics ranging from international affairs to domestic politics. His recent posts include significant announcements and critiques.
On May 11, 2025, Trump announced that "Edan Alexander, an American citizen who has been held hostage since October 2023, is coming home to his family." He expressed gratitude to those involved in this development and noted it as a positive gesture towards the United States.
The following day, on May 12, 2025, he commented on an ABC news segment featuring Martha Raditz. Trump described it as humorous to see Raditz state that "Pope Leo’s selection had nothing to do with Donald Trump." He suggested that her comment was unexpected and reflective of what he called her "Trump Deranged Mind," adding a reminder about his success among Catholic voters.
Later that same day, Trump addressed an issue concerning the Defense Department's acquisition of a new aircraft. He criticized Democrats for their reaction to "the Defense Department...getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One." He accused them of insisting on paying top dollar for the plane despite its donation.
