This is Trump’s 3rd message released today, and the last post was 1 hour ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 37 of his 545 posts over the last 30 days classified as Legal posts.
Trump, the 47th president of the United States, framed the column as agreement with his view on the limits of judicial authority over building projects. The headline he shared asserts that judges should not serve as construction foremen. Trump added no further commentary in the post beyond the title and the link.
