truthsocial operates as the direct channel Trump uses to communicate with his audience, bypassing traditional media gatekeepers. Video posts allow the account to circulate footage and messaging on its own terms. The platform gives Trump a space to publish media at high frequency, a habit reflected in the volume of posts recorded across recent weeks.
Image-only and video-only posts form a steady share of the account’s output. Nearly one in ten of Trump’s posts over the past 30 days fell into that category, based on the recorded post counts. The single-video message on August 12, 2026 at 7:51 PM ET fits squarely within that established rhythm.
