Rare dissent: Trump faces unexpected backlash on Truth Social
American journalist Maggie Haberman from "The New York Times" noticed an unexpected opposition to President Donald Trump on the Truth Social platform.
Maggie Haberman, a journalist from "The New York Times," highlighted a rare case of opposition to Donald Trump from his usually loyal supporters on the Truth Social platform.
Trump recently made a false claim on this platform that "gasoline was at $1.98 a gallon." Kaitlan Collins from CNN pointed out that the national average gas price is currently about $3.18 per gallon.
Haberman conceded that while the latest employment data and stock market growth provide some positive news for the Trump administration, some of his statements about price reductions "just don't comport with reality."
Interestingly, as she mentioned in the shared video, many responses to a similar post by Trump about prices said: "Not where I live," "Not where I live," "Not where I live."
The president's posts on the platform are typically very complimentary of Trump. However, there is a certain limit to how often he can repeat these claims before his supporters stop believing him, explains Haberman.
Truth Social in 2025 remains a crucial communication tool for Donald Trump, allowing him to reach his supporters directly and announce political initiatives. However, controversial proposals and expansion into the financial sector raise questions about the platform's future and its impact on American politics and the economy.
100 days of Trump's presidency. Criticism grows
Donald Trump, after taking office as President of the USA, promised a quick end to the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, 100 days into his presidency, the conflict continues, and Russia is still attacking Ukrainian cities.
American media also revealed a peace proposal that the USA offered to Ukraine. It included a stipulation about recognizing Russian sovereignty over Crimea. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky rejected this option, emphasizing that it would contradict the constitution of Ukraine.
From Moscow, signals of satisfaction with Trump's presidency are emerging. Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, said in an interview with CBS that Trump recognizes the need to address the root causes of the war. Meanwhile, a Pew Research poll indicates that 43% of respondents believe that Trump favors Russia.
