Executive summary

Available reporting in the provided sources does not list or document any specific Truth Social posts by Donald Trump that were removed or content-restricted for statements about age or consent; reviewers and archives cited here found no announcements or posts on Truth Social lowering age-of-consent or marriage to 14 (see Snopes’ reviews) [1] [2]. Independent archives and aggregators exist that claim to track Truth Social posts (Trump’s Truth archive and Roll Call’s Factba.se archive), but the sources provided do not show those archives documenting removals or timestamps for moderation actions related to age/consent content [3] [4].

1. What the fact-checking reviews say — “no announcement found”

Two Snopes investigations explicitly examined claims that Trump or allies sought to lower age-of-consent or marriage ages to 14 and report that reviews of Trump’s Truth Social posts “found no announcements about this matter” [1] [2]. Snopes also notes that assertions tying Trump’s press-conference remarks to a Truth Social post referenced a separate statement about prosecuting alleged criminals as adults beginning at age 14 — but the Snopes pieces stress their Truth Social review did not find posts announcing lowering age-of-consent or marriage laws on his account [1] [2].

2. What archives and trackers exist — possible sources for removed-post evidence

There are at least two public archival efforts that claim to collect Trump’s social posts, including deleted items: the searchable “Trump’s Truth” site and a Roll Call / Factba.se social archive that says it includes “thousands of deleted posts” with screenshots [3] [4]. These repositories could, in principle, supply timestamps or evidence of removals — but the current set of sources does not excerpt or cite any specific Truth Social post about age/consent that was removed or restricted, nor a date for such an action [3] [4].

3. Platform context — Truth Social’s moderation posture and user base

Truth Social is described in Wikipedia as a self-styled “free-speech” alternative with a primarily conservative and pro‑Trump user base; it has been criticized for content-moderation inconsistencies and misinformation concerns—context that matters when assessing whether a post would be removed or restricted and why—but the provided Wikipedia summary does not document any particular moderation action on age/consent posts [5]. Truth Social’s own privacy and legal pages exist [6], yet they are not cited in these sources as documenting specific removals tied to age/consent speech.

4. Where reporting — including mainstream outlets — is silent or indirect

Mainstream reporting cited here (The Guardian, The New Republic, The Independent) documents heavy posting activity by Trump on Truth Social and legal/administrative consequences of his posts in other contexts, but the provided excerpts do not report platform moderation actions tied to statements about lowering ages of consent or marriage to 14 [7] [8] [9]. Thus, the available reporting in these sources is either silent on removals of age/consent posts or focuses on different issues [7] [8] [9].

5. Conflicting claims, possible misunderstandings, and how they arise

Snopes describes online rumors that conflated Trump’s remarks about prosecuting certain juveniles as adults with broader claims that he sought to lower age-of-consent or marriage laws to 14 — and finds no supporting Truth Social posts for those latter claims [1] [2]. The gap between an oral remark, a Truth Social post, and legislative action can produce conflation; available sources suggest that at least some viral claims mixed those elements while lacking a direct Truth Social source [1] [2].

6. What’s missing and next steps for verification

The current set of sources does not provide (a) exact text of any Truth Social post about lowering age/consent that was removed, (b) a date/time when such a restriction occurred, or (c) a platform notice or third‑party screenshot documenting removal. To answer your question with precision, one should [10] query the archives named (Trump’s Truth, Roll Call/Factba.se) for posts on the relevant dates and keywords (age, consent, 14), [11] seek platform moderation notices or screenshots, and [12] consult contemporaneous reporting from outlets that cover Truth Social moderation events — none of which are provided in the sources here [3] [4] [7].

Limitations: This analysis is limited to the supplied sources. They collectively say reviewers found no Truth Social announcements lowering age-of-consent or marriage to 14 and point to archives that could hold deleted content — but they do not document any concrete moderation action or dates relating to such posts [1] [2] [3] [4].
