Did Donald J. Trump ever post the phrase "fuck you to the American people" on Truth Social or Twitter?
Executive summary
Available reporting shows Donald J. Trump has used the F-word in public remarks and has reposted/endorsed content that includes “fuck” language on Truth Social, notably a clip with the line “If you fuck around with us…” that Trump re-shared as a “ReTruth” [1] [2]. There is reporting and fact-checking of profanity-laced Truth Social posts after the Nov. 2025 elections, but open-source archives and multiple fact-checks indicate some viral claims about a direct post saying “fuck you to the American people” are disputed or lack clear evidence in the provided results [3] [4].
1. What public evidence shows Trump has used the F-word?
Donald Trump has been recorded using the F-word in live remarks: coverage cites him saying phrases like “what the fuck” about foreign policy subjects on television [5] [6]. He also has promoted or re-posted short clips on Truth Social that contain the word “fuck,” including a nine‑second clip where the speaker says, “If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before,” which appeared on his Truth Social feed as a ReTruth [1] [2].
2. The specific phrase asked about — “fuck you to the American people” — what do sources show?
None of the supplied articles or archives explicitly quote Trump posting the exact phrase “fuck you to the American people” on Truth Social or Twitter. Reporting around post‑election Truth Social activity documents profane, all‑caps screeds and alleged profanity‑filled posts, and fact‑checkers examined viral claims of cuss‑filled rants after November 2025, but the precise wording you asked about is not shown verbatim in the provided sources [7] [3] [4]. Therefore, available sources do not mention Trump posting that exact phrase.
3. Where did the stronger profanity claims come from and how have outlets treated them?
After high‑profile events (e.g., June 2025 TV remarks, October 2025 AI videos, and the Nov. 2025 election results), multiple outlets captured or archived profanity in Trump’s communications — live TV appearances where he used the F‑word [5] [6], AI‑generated videos he posted on Truth Social depicting crude imagery [8] [9], and lots of Truth Social activity late on election nights [7] [10]. Fact‑checking organizations investigated viral posts claiming profanity‑filled Truth Social rants after the Nov. 4, 2025 results; Snopes and other checks document what was actually posted and note some viral claims were exaggerations or misattributions [2] [3].
4. How do provenance and reposting matter here?
The Nine‑second clip with the F‑word that circulated on Truth Social was originally posted by another account (@AmericanAF) and then ReTruthed into Trump’s feed; Snopes reports the clip showed no clear sign it was created by Trump or official campaign staff, even though it appeared in his timeline [2]. This distinction matters: a ReTruth (analogous to a retweet) places content in a public feed but is not the same as composing an original post in those exact words [2]. Archives like “Trump’s Truth” aim to index posts, but the supplied archive page snippets do not display a post of the exact phrase you asked about [4].
5. Competing interpretations and hidden agendas in coverage
Some outlets frame these profane posts and AI videos as evidence of unfiltered hostility toward opponents or the public (e.g., reaction pieces to the AI “poop‑dropping” video), while others emphasize the role of AI, reposting, and context, warning readers that clips may be re‑posted, AI‑generated, or taken out of context [8] [9] [2]. Political actors and advocacy sites (including a California governor’s release) have used paraphrases of profanity to criticize policy or behavior, which can amplify claims beyond what a primary post may have said [11]. Those motives — shaping public outrage or scoring political points — are visible across the supplied reporting.
6. Bottom line for your question and limitations
Available reporting establishes Trump has used and circulated F‑word language publicly and has ReTruthed a clip that includes “If you fuck around with us…” [1] [2] [5]. However, in the set of sources you provided, I did not find a direct citation of Trump posting the exact phrase “fuck you to the American people” on Truth Social or Twitter; available sources do not mention that exact wording [4] [3]. If you want a definitive yes/no for that precise quote, you’ll need to search primary archives (Truth Social posts, Twitter/X archives, or a full post archive like the Trump’s Truth site) or point me to a source that explicitly shows those words in an authored post [4].
