Trump posted on Truth Social 55 times in 3 hours. Here's a timeline – Snopes
About this rating
On May 11, 2026, many people online noticed increased activity on U.S. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social account. While Trump is known for posting inflammatory statements on the site, social media users were surprised by the frequency of his posts that started at 10:14 p.m. EDT and continued into the early morning May 12.
Robert Reich, a Trump critic and former secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton, shared a long list of Trump’s purported Truth Social posts, claiming Trump had published 55 posts in three hours. Snopes readers also consulted our website to determine whether Trump published this many posts.
Reich added:
His posts included nonsensical AI slop, unhinged conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, and rants that his political enemies committed treason.
Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes.
Trump is unwell, and he is a danger to us all.
Trump did indeed go on a posting spree from around 10:14 p.m. May 11 until 1:12 a.m. May 12, so we’ve rated the claim true. Below, we break down all the posts he made along with their timestamps:
Trump made several more posts around 8 a.m. May 12 before announcing he was “off to China.” He posted images of U.S. drones and aircraft carriers attacking Iranian boats and planes with captions such as “Lasers: Bing, Bing, GONE!!!” He also posted an image of a $100 bill with his face on it.
