President Donald Trump posted at least 105 times on Truth Social on Sunday, July 5, unleashing a day-long barrage on his preferred social media platform a day after his July 4 speech on the National Mall.
The Sunday posting spree ranged widely in subject matter. According to reporting from The Independent, Trump spent much of the day attacking federal Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who had recently ruled against the administration’s attempts to screen voter rolls using a database of U.S. citizens’ private information. Trump shared screenshots of posts from allies criticizing the judge, with some posts insinuating she ruled against the administration because she was born outside the United States.
In another cluster of posts, Trump showcased Washington, D.C. beautification and renovation projects. He shared images of regilded statues, the renovated columns of the White House North Portico, clear water in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and refurbished fountains around the capital. Trump also boasted that his Truth Social account was the most popular on TikTok and thanked FIFA for reinstating U.S. player Folarin Balogun after a red card.
The president also posted old photographs of family members, including his father Fred Trump, whom he called his “mentor,” and his uncle John G. Trump, an electrical engineer and professor at MIT. Later in the afternoon, Trump claimed that 400,000 people showed up to the National Mall Saturday evening to watch his speech and fireworks, but said only 150,000 were able to watch because crowds were evacuated due to a severe storm warning. Trump said he personally “overturned that decision” from federal officials.
The Sunday posting marathon was not an isolated event. Trump has a documented pattern of releasing large volumes of Truth Social posts in short periods. In December 2025, he posted 160 times in less than five hours, according to The Guardian, and 158 times between 9 p.m. and midnight on another occasion, according to Axios. In June 2026, The Daily Beast reported that Trump posted 861 times in a single month. Trump is known for going on posting sprees late at night and on weekends, and White House aides, including Natalie Harp, occasionally assist in posting with his approval, according to reporting from The New York Times.
