ANALYSIS — Former President Donald Trump made 42 rapid-fire posts on Truth Social during the roughly 90-minute vice presidential debate Tuesday, revealing his immediate reactions to what was likely the last national ticket debate before Election Day. 
Trump posted often in all caps praising Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and calling out Governor Tim Walz for his mistakes. 
“JD is doing GREAT – A different level of Intelligence from Tampon Tim!,” Trump said in one play-by-play post of the debate. 



Trump’s social media footprint has given the public a look into his innermost thoughts since he launched his first Republican presidential campaign in June 2015. 
Now, Truth Social has become his most used platform, where the former president calls out his enemies, makes major campaign announcements (think, no new debate with Vice President Kamala Harris), and promotes his businesses. 
Trump has averaged more than 24 posts a day on Truth Social in 2024 through Oct. 1. That’s nearly 173 posts a week on average, totaling 8,989 posts so far this year (including deleted posts) on the social media platform, according to data from Roll Call Factba.se. (See methodology note.)
Scroll further down on Trump’s Truth Social feed and you can see an ad for gold and diamond-encrusted Trump watches, a post calling out his hate for Taylor Swift, and inappropriate sexual remarks about Vice President Harris. 
The former president’s social media platform was created in February 2022 after his suspension from Twitter because of his tweets about Jan. 6, 2021, and the insurrection at the Capitol. 



Trump’s most active month on Truth Social was January 2024, with 1,364 posts. It was also the month when a New York jury ordered Trump to pay millions in damages to E. Jean Carroll for defamatory statements Trump made against her after she accused him of sexual assault. The Iowa caucuses were also held in January. 
His second most active month came during August 2024, with 1,153 posts, followed by August 2023 with 1,109 posts. August last year marked the month when Trump surrendered himself after being charged for efforts to overturn 2020 election results in Georgia. August 2023 also marked Trump’s brief return to X, formerly Twitter, with a post featuring his mugshot.
Trump’s busiest day on Truth Social was Jan. 4, 2024, with 120 posts ranging from comments on E. Jean Carroll to links to right-leaning news stories. His second busiest day came on May 26, 2024, with 104 “truths.”
 Trump has posted more than 23,000 times on Truth Social since his first post on the platform on Valentine’s Day, 2022. 
Nearly half of Trump’s truth posts contain photos or videos and nearly 16 percent only contain photos or videos. Memes and graphics made by anonymous accounts with names such as @catturd2 also regularly make up Trump’s feed.



Most mentioned accounts on Trump’s feed 
Trump talks about himself a lot, so it’s no surprise his most mentioned account (including mentions and re-posts) is his own @realDonaldTrump, with over 2,250 mentions. 
Since the inception of his Truth Social account, his second most mentioned account is @GodandCountryy, with 260 mentions. It’s an account with more than 98,000 followers with a bio that reads, “American Patriot. Fighting for We The People. ReTruthed by President Donald Trump.” Scrolling the account’s feed, it appears to be made up of Trump-centric pictures and memes along with re-posts of right-leaning accounts on the platform. Trump has only re-posted that account once this year. 
In 2024, after himself, Real America’s Voice, Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), NewsMax, Rumble, and OAN make up his top mentioned usernames on his feed. All of them are right-leaning news sites.
Trump has 7.82 million followers on Truth Social, compared to 91.2 million followers on his X account. He returned to X again in August of this year when owner Elon Musk hosted an X Spaces conversation with the Republican nominee. However, Truth Social remains his dominant way to communicate what he’s thinking online.  



As the former president’s travel and appearances become more restricted after two assassination attempts on his life, Trump’s Truth Social’s presence is the opposite — unrestricted. The platform is a place to get a closer look at the candidate’s focus each day as he tries to get back into the White House. 
You can view all of the data we used for the analysis of Trump’s Truth Social numbers in this spreadsheet. 
Roll Call Factba.se will soon have Trump’s social media archive from Twitter and Truth Social online. 
Methodology Note: Roll Call Factba.se automatically monitors Trump’s Truth Social and Twitter accounts and checks the Internet Archive to get the numbers of his social media posts, including deleted posts.

I find myself wondering if you took those 9000 posts and fed them to an AI, what sort of sad insane beast it would create.
