This is Trump’s 125th 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 752 of his 1,236 posts over the last 30 days classified as Elections posts.
The endorsement message included a political campaign graphic featuring a dark red background. The attached image listed the four politicians as “Trump-Endorsed Candidates” for the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, directing supporters to a dedicated campaign website.
Letlow is listed for the U.S. Senate, while Scalise, Higgins, and Johnson are marked for the U.S. House of Representatives in Louisiana’s first, third, and fourth congressional districts. The campaign graphic explicitly labels the group as “Team Trump Louisiana” ahead of the midterm vote.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. 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."
