Executive summary

Available reporting shows that after former Vice President Dick Cheney’s death and in prior years Donald Trump posted criticisms of Cheney on Truth Social — for example calling him “an irrelevant RINO” — but the collected sources do not provide a complete, item-by-item list of every Truth Social post or exact timestamps and full text of each post (not found in current reporting) [1] [2] [3]. Major outlets document Trump’s broader pattern of criticizing Cheney on Truth Social and note he was relatively quiet immediately after Cheney’s death while active on other topics [1] [2] [3].

1. What the reporting actually documents: a few concrete examples

Newsweek reports a clear, attributed example: when Cheney criticized Trump, Trump “lashed out at Cheney, calling him ‘an irrelevant RINO’ on Truth Social” — a discrete quotation of Trump’s language that outlets repeated [1]. Axios and AP corroborate that Trump posted multiple messages on Truth Social around the time of Cheney’s death and that he was vocal on other matters, even as he initially remained publicly silent about the death itself [2] [3].

2. Gaps in the public record: exact posts and timestamps are not published here

None of the provided pieces reproduces a comprehensive archive of Trump’s Truth Social timeline with exact timestamps and full post texts. The sources summarize or quote selected lines and describe posting patterns (e.g., “more than 30 Truth Social posts in less than three hours”) but they do not supply a definitive, itemized list of every post about Cheney with exact publication times [4] [2].

3. Context: why outlets focused on patterns rather than exhaustive logs

Reporters emphasized pattern and political meaning — for instance, outlets note Trump’s broader campaign of attacks against Democrats and establishment Republicans and how Cheney had become a prominent critic [5] [6]. Coverage also highlighted Trump’s overall posting behavior (a “posting frenzy”) and specific controversial content (e.g., calls to arrest lawmakers), which editors prioritized over reproducing every Truth Social entry verbatim [4] [5] [7].

4. Contradictory or competing accounts in the record

Some outlets emphasize silence: AP and Axios reported Trump “made no comment” on Cheney’s death immediately on social media while also noting he posted about other subjects [3] [2]. Others document Trump’s active use of Truth Social for attacks on Cheney and Democrats at different times — a tension the reporting frames as selective response rather than contradiction [1] [5].

5. What researchers or readers who want the “exact posts” should do next

Because the sources here don’t reproduce full Truth Social archives or timestamps, the way to get an exact, time-stamped list is to consult: (a) Truth Social’s own public feed for archived posts by Trump, (b) social media archive services or contemporaneous screenshots cited in investigative reports, or (c) wire-service live-blogs that sometimes copy exact posts. The articles provided do not include such an itemized archive and therefore cannot supply it (not found in current reporting) [4] [5].

6. Political and editorial context readers should bear in mind

Reporting situates Cheney as a leading establishment Republican and a vocal critic of Trump; his death and the funeral drew bipartisan attention, while Trump’s relationship with Cheney remained adversarial and politically consequential [6] [8]. Outlets explicitly note that Cheney called Trump a “threat to our republic,” a stance that drew sharply negative reactions from Trump in prior years and is part of why journalists highlighted Truth Social exchanges when summarizing the feud [1] [9].

7. Limits and transparency about sources

This summary relies only on the provided items; they supply quoted snippets (e.g., “an irrelevant RINO”) and reporting on posting behavior but do not supply a full archive of posts or precise publish times. Therefore, definitive assertions about “every exact post and timestamp” are not supported by these sources (not found in current reporting) [1] [2] [4].

If you want, I can attempt to compile a time-ordered list of Trump’s public Truth Social posts about Dick Cheney by checking Truth Social itself or by searching for contemporaneous screenshots and live-blog citations; indicate which approach you prefer and I will proceed.
