Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States and current political figure, posted several updates on his Truth Social account on August 5, 2025. The posts addressed topics ranging from crime in Washington, D.C., to the funeral of a public figure known as the "Hulkster," and preparations for the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
In a post dated August 5, 2025 at 4:13 PM EST, Trump wrote: "Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control.

Later that day at 5:04 PM EST, Trump referenced a funeral taking place for someone he called the "Hulkster." He posted: "They are having the “Hulkster’s” funeral today, and I thought everybody would enjoy seeing this picture. https://t.co/Ja77Waj9B1".

The mention of crime in Washington aligns with ongoing concerns about public safety in urban centers across the United States. According to recent reports by local law enforcement agencies and national news outlets such as The Washington Post and CNN (see background reporting here: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/01/us/dc-crime-violence/index.html), there has been an increase in certain types of violent crimes involving youth offenders in major cities including Washington D.C., prompting calls for policy changes from various political leaders.
Preparations for hosting large-scale events like the Olympics typically involve federal coordination with local authorities on issues such as security infrastructure and transportation improvements. As noted by official planning committees (for example: https://la28.org/en/games/preparation), steps taken years ahead of such events aim to ensure readiness both logistically and operationally.
Donald J. Trump's social media activity continues to attract significant attention given his status as a former president and ongoing influence within American politics.
