— Donald J.Trump posted on Truth Social on June 17, 2026 at 3:33 AM EST, posted on Truth Social on June 17, 2026, by mentioning the source (see static-assets-1.truthsocial) alongside a video attachment, thanking someone identified only as “Greg” and an unnamed group, declaring them “Number One — By far!” The brief post, which included no additional context about the identity of Greg or the group being praised, was accompanied by media hosted on the Truth Social platform (see truthsocial). The post offered no specifics about what achievement or ranking Trump was referencing, nor did it clarify the full name of the individual called Greg or the nature of the group being congratulated. The vague language left open a wide range of possibilities — from television ratings and political polling to business performance or other metrics. Trump has frequently used the phrase “Number One” on social media to praise allies, media figures, and organizations whose performance or loyalty he wishes to highlight. The message is consistent with a pattern of brief, congratulatory posts that Trump regularly publishes on Truth Social. According to a Zenger analysis of Trump’s posting activity, 306 of his 704 Truth Social posts over the past 30 days fell into the “Uncategorized” category, reflecting the high volume of short, informal messages the president shares on the platform that do not fit neatly into specific policy or news topics. Without further context from the White House or Trump’s communications team, the identities of “Greg” and the referenced group remain unconfirmed. The post underscores Trump’s continued use of Truth Social as a primary channel for public praise and informal communication, bypassing traditional press channels to deliver messages directly to his followers.
