WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump published a video on Truth Social, the social-media platform owned by his media and technology company, without adding any accompanying text.

The post carried a single video and no written message, part of a steady stream of media-only publishing on the platform run by Trump Media & Technology Group C orp.., the Sarasota, Florida-based company majority-owned by the Trump Revocable Trust. The company trades on theNasdaq, Inc.under the ti ckerTrump Media & Technology Gro up Corp.and reported revenue of $3.6 million in 2024 against a net loss of $400.9 million, according to wikipedia.org.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “truthsocial post containing one video.” on August 5, 2026 at 1:06 AM ET.

This is Trump’s 9th message released today, and the last post was 0 minutes ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 45 of his 440 posts over the last 30 days classified as image-only posts.

The platform serves as Trump’s primary channel for reaching supporters directly, bypassing traditional media. truthsocial launched on February 21, 2022, after the company merged with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special-purpose acquisition company, according to wikipedia.org. The stock reached more than $79 per share after its public offering before declining, according to wikipedia.org.

The stakes reach beyond a single video. Every post reinforces the value of a company that has struggled financially since going public. Investors who bought shares near the peak have absorbed losses, while the trust that controls a 52% stake benefits from continued engagement, according to wikipedia.org.

The company has posted repeated operating losses since its market debut. By May 2026, after two quarters of large losses, the market capitalization stood near $2.47 billion, down from $3.65 billion in December 2025, according to wikipedia.org. The firm said it ended the period with $2.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, according to wikipedia.org.

For the average reader, the video changes little in daily life. It signals how a sitting president uses a company he controls to speak to millions, a fusion of political messaging and commercial ownership that few peers can match.

This has happened before. Media-only posts recur frequently in Trump’s output, with 45 of 440 recent posts falling into the same category over 30 days. The pattern shows a consistent reliance on video and imagery rather than text.

The next signals on the company’s health will come from its quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A date for the next earnings release has not been announced.

Trump’s use of his own platform to broadcast messages isn’t the first time a president has built a personal media outlet. Andrew Jackson backed a Washington newspaper, the Globe, founded in 1830 to champion his agenda against a hostile press. The paper’s editor, Francis Preston Blair, turned it into the loudest voice of Jacksonian politics for more than a decade. That partnership helped Jackson dominate the national conversation, showing how a leader who controls his own outlet can shape public debate on his own terms.
