This is Trump’s 35th message released today, and the last post was 2 hours 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 28 of his 343 posts over the last 30 days classified as Personal Praise, Greetings & Tributes posts.

Cooke is an Indian-origin attorney and Trump loyalist who claims massive fraud exists within Ohio’s Medicaid system, according to timesofindia.indiatimes. She alleges that some families run fake home health operations and bill up to $250,000 a year without providing real care, according to timesofindia.indiatimes.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
