Is there an archived screenshot or transcript of Donald Trump's November 4 2025 Truth Social post?

Executive summary

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on November 4, 2025, according to reproduced post text circulating in archives and secondary scrapes, but there is no single, publicly verifiable archived screenshot or universally acknowledged transcript available in the major archives cited so far. Multiple archiving efforts either returned no result, were disabled shortly after October 2025, or provide only the post content as reproduced text rather than a preserved screenshot with provenance, leaving archival confirmation incomplete as of November 5, 2025 ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

1. The clincher claim: a November 4 Truth Social post exists — what the sources show

The primary claim extracted from the supplied materials is that Donald Trump made a Truth Social post on November 4, 2025 that discussed voter reform, a 60 Minutes interview, NASA leadership, and endorsements for candidates Jack Ciattarelli and Rob Wittman; portions of this post appear reproduced verbatim in at least one collection described as “Trump's Truth” ^[1]. That reproduced content functions as a de facto transcript in the provided excerpts, but the sources make clear the text appears copied into secondary pages rather than presented as an authenticated, time-stamped screenshot or an independently archived Truth Social page. The reproduced text is useful for content analysis, but it does not by itself establish archival provenance or show platform metadata such as post ID, timestamps, or deletion status ^[1].

2. Archive searches came up empty or inconclusive — here’s what was found

Searches of a named Donald Trump Social Media Archive returned “No results found” for November 4, 2025, and the archive’s interface and filters were described but did not produce a saved screenshot or indexed post for that date ^{[2] [4]}. A separate Truth Social scraping project on GitHub archived posts hourly into JSON/CSV files and stored outputs in an S3 bucket, suggesting a route to a preserved transcript; however, that GitHub Actions workflow was disabled on October 26, 2025, and repository maintainers warned updates ceased, making it uncertain whether a November 4 post was captured before the disablement ^[3]. The combination of “no results” in the named archive and a disabled scraper yields reasonable doubt about an easily accessible, authenticated archived screenshot as of November 5, 2025 ^{[2] [3]}.

3. Secondary reporting and legal filings reference Truth Social posts but not this specific archive

News coverage and legal documents have quoted or referenced Trump’s Truth Social posts in various contexts, including DOJ responses and litigation mentioning older posts; one cited article described a September post rather than November 4 content, illustrating that journalism and legal filings often excerpt posts but do not always preserve platform-native screenshots or provide archive links ^[5]. That pattern matters because journalist quotations and court briefs can function as secondary confirmation of content, yet they rarely substitute for archived screenshots that show platform metadata. The sources reviewed include such references but do not provide a standalone confirmed screenshot for November 4, 2025 ^[5].

4. Technical archives exist but their completeness and currency are in question

Technically competent archiving projects exist — an automated scraper that produced truth_archive.json and CSV outputs was operating before it was disabled, and other archives maintain filters for deleted posts — which means a screenshot or transcript could be recoverable if the data capture occurred in the narrow window before disablement or deletion ^{[2] [3]}. The supplied analyses show these systems were either not updated in real time or were taken offline, creating a narrow evidentiary gap. For researchers seeking a verified screenshot, the next practical step is to request access to the archived S3 files referenced by the scraper or to ask archive maintainers to search server logs for a November 4 capture; public-facing search interfaces alone have so far failed to produce an authenticated file ^{[2] [3]}.

5. Competing explanations and possible agendas to consider

There are three plausible explanations given the evidence: the post existed and was archived but the public archive interfaces do not reflect it; the post existed but was deleted and not preserved by the archives that remained active; or the reproduced text available in secondary sources is faithful but no platform-native screenshot was ever captured. Archives and scraper maintainers may have operational limits or editorial choices that shape what appears publicly, and parties sharing reproduced transcripts may have incentives to emphasize content without demonstrating provenance. These dynamics mean archivists’ technical constraints and potential political motivations of secondary publishers must be weighed when evaluating the strength of claims about an archived November 4 post ^{[2] [3] [5]}.

6. What a definitive answer would require and immediate next steps

A definitive verification requires one of three artifacts: a platform-native screenshot including Truth Social metadata (post ID, timestamp) stored in a trusted archive; an export from the cited scraper’s truth_archive.json or CSV showing the November 4 entry with hashes and timestamps; or an official statement from archive stewards confirming capture and providing a stable link. Immediate next steps are to query the GitHub repository owners for the S3 bucket contents, request that the Donald Trump Social Media Archive run a targeted search or provide audit logs for November 4, and consult major archival services (e.g., Internet Archive) for any capture around that timestamp. Until one of these artifacts is produced, the available sources support the content’s circulation but do not establish a publicly verifiable archived screenshot or authenticated transcript for November 4, 2025 ^{[1] [2] [3] [5]}.
