Donald Trump posted a photograph on Truth Social captioned with the single word “ORTS,” showing a man in a dark suit signing a large white paneled surface at an outdoor industrial site.

The image shows a man with light blond and gray hair wearing a navy suit jacket, a white dress shirt, a red necktie and an American flag lapel pin. He is bent over to sign a large light-colored panel bearing a black five-pointed star and partial lettering, with two gold circular medallions flanking the signing area. More than 20 people stand in rows behind him, wearing high-visibility yellow-green and orange safety vests and white or red hard hats. One worker’s shirt reads “SPORTS.”
