BMW CHAMPION” on August 31, 2026 at 10:43 PM ET.

This is Trump’s 1st message released today, and the last post was 10 days ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 17 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 12 of his 220 posts over the last 30 days classified as Personal Praise, Greetings & Tributes posts.

The image shows two smiling men standing together on a golf course, with a sand bunker visible nearby and a large crowd of spectators filling grandstand seating in the background. BMW Championship signage appears behind them. The man on the right wears a white golf glove on his left hand, indicating he is an active participant in the event. Neither man is identified by name in the post.

Trump did not name the senator in the post. The identities of the two individuals pictured could not be confirmed from the image or the post text alone.
