Trump Calls Ford’s Theatre Story a Media Fabrication, Demands Free Press
Trump quotes his own earlier Truth Social post accusing the media and Democrats of conspiring to spread false stories about him.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump accused the media and Democrats of fabricating a story he called the “Ford’s Theatre Lie,” demanding what he described as a free and fair press.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “The Ford’s Theatre Lie is just another example of how the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats conspire together to make up false stories about “Trump.” Shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press! President DJT” on September 24, 2026 at 8:37 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 11th message released today, and the last post was 1 minute 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 7 of his 54 posts over the last 30 days classified as media bias posts.

Trump quoted an earlier truthsocial post carrying identical text, amplifying his claim that the media and Democrats work together to spread false narratives. The post named no specific incident, news organization, or journalist as the source of the alleged fabrication.
Trump called the situation something that “shouldn’t be allowed to happen” and said the country is “desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press,” framing the complaint as a national concern rather than a personal grievance.
