Donald Trump Launches Frantic Truth Social Blitz Amid Low Approval Ratings
5/11/2026, 11:24:27 PM
Core Event: Truth Social Posting Spree
On Sunday night, President Donald Trump, age 79, posted a rapid series of 17 updates on his Truth Social platform within roughly one hour. The posts included a claim of “Excellent Poll Numbers. Thank You!” followed by AI-generated content, reshares of supportive MAGA accounts, and an image of workers carving his face into Mount Rushmore.
Background & Context: Declining Approval and Ongoing Controversies
The blitz occurred while the president’s approval ratings are reported in the low-to-mid-30 percent range, according to a recent CNN headline describing him as a “historically unpopular president.” The president’s administration is also facing criticism over a war on Iran and economic management, and he continues to promote unsubstantiated voter-fraud allegations.
Data & Statistics: Poll Claims vs. Reported Ratings
Trump’s posts referenced a CNN-aggregated poll from July 2025 that allegedly placed him ahead of Ronald Reagan as the “most beloved president among Republicans.” The same source notes that the poll story reshared by Trump is at least nine months old, and a newer CNN report lists his approval in the low-to-mid-30 percent range.
Official Statements & Responses: Trump’s Posts and Reshares
In the hour-long blitz, Trump thanked supporters for “excellent” polling, reshared praise from a “Women For Trump” account—including slogans such as “Trump’s the real deal! A true American bada--,” “Build the ballroom,” and “Presidents come and go but he will forever be remembered as the GOAT.” He also reposted an image of Black election workers with a caption urging arrests for alleged cheating, and later shared an AI-generated illustration of his likeness added to Mount Rushmore, a long-expressed ambition.
Criticism & Opposition: Media Characterization of the Blitz
Commentators described the posting spree as “desperate” and “deranged,” noting the prevalence of AI-generated “slop” and the revival of an “unhinged” claim that Trump could run again in 2028 despite constitutional limits. The coverage frames the activity as an attempt to self-soothe amid unfavorable public sentiment.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps
The president’s claim of “excellent” polling conflicts with recent CNN data showing approval in the low-to-mid-30 percent range. The source of the July 2025 poll is not provided, and verification of its methodology is absent.
What’s Next: Prospective 2028 Run and Mount Rushmore Ambitions
Trump’s posts reiterated the notion that he could seek office again in 2028, a claim he has repeatedly floated. The AI-generated Mount Rushmore image underscores his continued interest in being added to the monument, a topic he previously linked to South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem’s office.
