“Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if its not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would clog the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that theyve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World captive, but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the Magnets and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than Chinas. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental? Dependent on what China says about the hostile order that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Trump’s post correctly notes that China announced new, broad export controls on rare earth elements and related items in October 2025, which is factually accurate and unprecedented. It is also factual that Trump threatened reciprocal tariffs and countermeasures, and that there were additional port fees imposed by both nations. However, the claim of

“Christopher Wray is another beauty.” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post thanks FBI agents who blew the whistle on alleged political bias during Christopher Wray’s time as FBI Director and claims these agents were sent to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, reassured that reforms are now underway under new leadership. Key facts are confirmed: 274 plainclothes FBI agents were deployed to

“Thank you Washington Post. Wow!!!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary No verifiable evidence supports the claim that Donald Trump made a TruthSocial post thanking the Washington Post or linking to an opinion article regarding the Gaza ceasefire deal and the Nobel Peace Prize. While it is factual that Trump announced a Gaza ceasefire on TruthSocial on October 8, 2025, and received nominations for

“Thank you!!!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump has received nominations from several world leaders for the Nobel Peace Prize, and organizations like the Republican Jewish Coalition have vocally supported his candidacy. While Trump claims to have brokered multiple peace deals—including a high-profile announcement about an Israel-Hamas agreement—these claims are heavily disputed by experts. Most analysts agree that the

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately reports that Ryan Routh was convicted for attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and that the case was prosecuted by the Southern District of Florida before Judge Aileen Cannon, with Attorney General Pam Bondi and US Attorney Jason Reding Quinones in office at the time. These facts are confirmed by

“Gary Player: The Presidents speech at the United Nations is without a question one of the greatest speeches Ive ever heard, and two of my friends who are not Trump fans are now his big, big fans.” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The claim attributes to Gary Player a TruthSocial post stating Trump’s United Nations speech was among “the greatest” Player has ever heard, with the added anecdote that two previously non-supportive friends are now “big, big fans.” While Player is a well-documented Trump supporter and has made numerous public statements praising Trump, there is

“To all the FBI Agents who were forced by Christopher Wray to go to the Capitol on the afternoon of January 6th, and then risked their careers to blow the whistle about the Political Bias and Abuses they witnessed, I want to thank you for your Courage, and assure you that you now work for a Director, Kash Patel, and an Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who are stamping out Political Bias from the Bureau and DOJ, and making sure Agents pursue criminals without regard to their political stripe, just the evidence. Keep up the good work!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post blends elements of truth with significant distortions. It is accurate that Kash Patel is currently FBI Director and Pam Bondi is the Attorney General. It is also accurate that FBI personnel were sent to the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, but this occurred after the riot had begun, as part of

“Thank you to Eylon Levy for your words of Wisdom on FoxNews this morning. A great day in the Middle East!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The alleged TruthSocial post thanking Eylon Levy for “words of Wisdom” on Fox News and declaring it “a great day in the Middle East” cannot be independently verified. President Trump did make TruthSocial posts on October 8, 2025, about the peace deal between Israel and Hamas, using similar language to call it “a

“United States Ambassador Mike Huckabee is AMAZING! He worked so hard, and did so much, to bring about Peace in the Middle East. He has very quickly become a Great Man. Thank you Mike!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The claim that Mike Huckabee, as U.S. Ambassador to Israel, “worked so hard and did so much to bring about Peace in the Middle East” is inaccurate. Huckabee was not confirmed as ambassador until April 2025, months after the major Gaza ceasefire deal of January 2025, which lasted only two months and collapsed
