Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States and leading Republican political figure, posted a series of statements on his Truth Social account on July 31, 2025, addressing topics ranging from U.S. economic policy to international affairs.
In an early morning post, Trump reiterated his campaign slogan: "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" (July 31, 2025).
Shortly thereafter, he criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell by stating: "Jerome “Too Late” Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair. He is costing our Country TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, in addition to one of the most" (July 31, 2025). The remarks reflect ongoing tensions between Trump and Powell over monetary policy decisions during and after Trump's presidency.
Later that morning, Trump commented on the ongoing conflict in Gaza. He wrote: "The fastest way to end the Humanitarian Crises in Gaza is for Hamas to SURRENDER AND RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!" (July 31, 2025). The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been a subject of international concern since renewed hostilities began in October 2023.
Trump's posts come amid continued debate over U.S. domestic economic policy and foreign affairs. His criticism of Jerome Powell echoes earlier disputes regarding interest rate policies and their impact on inflation and national debt levels. Additionally, his comments on Gaza align with previous calls for the release of hostages as a condition for resolving regional conflicts.
