President Donald Trump is not just running the country—he is running his mouth on Truth Social at a pace that would make most teenagers blush. The man posted 861 times in May. That is not a typo. Eight hundred and sixty-one posts and reposts, which works out to an average of 27 per day. More than one every single hour.
The White House, rather than pretending this is normal presidential behavior, leaned into it hard. Spokeswoman Olivia Wales said Truth Social has never been hotter, crediting Trump is manic posting to the fact that he offers his unfiltered and direct thoughts to the American people, without the biased media taking him out of context.
Let us be honest here—this is what separates Trump from every politician who came before him. Love him or hate him, the man does not filter. While career politicians spend hours crafting focus-grouped statements that say absolutely nothing, Trump fires off whatever crosses his mind at 2 AM. The posts range from administration updates to attacks on political rivals to AI-generated memes that make the left lose their collective minds.
Wales claimed that the American people have never had a president as transparent as President Trump, who shares his thoughts with them in real time on all the important issues of the day. She is not wrong about the transparency part. Where else do you get a direct pipeline into the President is brain at any hour of the day?
The media class hates this because they cannot control the narrative. They cannot spin what he says when he is saying it directly to millions of followers. No editors. No gatekeepers. Just raw, unfiltered Trump. Is it chaotic? Sometimes. Is it entertaining? Always. Does it drive his enemies insane? That is the whole point.
