This is Trump’s 102nd 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 729 of his 1213 posts over the last 30 days classified as Elections posts.
The endorsement message featured a campaign graphic produced by Team Trump that listed the three candidates alongside their respective congressional districts. Trump mentioned the source (see truthsocial) alongside the announcement. Moore is running in the second district, Maloy in the third, and Kennedy in the fourth, according to the shared image. The graphic also directed supporters to a voting website ahead of the November 3, 2026, midterm elections.
Calling the trio “Great Patriots,” the message emphasized that the candidates would not let voters down. The post serves as a direct appeal to mobilize supporters in Utah as they head to the polls.

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."
