Trump points readers to a Fox News opinion piece arguing the Supreme Court should stop courts from putting the president's security at risk.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump pointed his followers to a Fox News opinion article arguing that the Supreme Court should stop courts from actions the writer says endanger presidential security. Trump shared the piece on Truth Social by mentioning the source (see foxnews).
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “I served as Trump’s NSA. SCOTUS need to stop courts putting the president’s security at risk: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/served-trumps-nsa-scotus-need-stop-courts-putting-presidents-security-risk” on August 21, 2026 at 11:55 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 4th message released today, and the last post was 29 minutes 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 38 of his 546 posts over the last 30 days classified as Legal posts.

The linked article, titled “The White House is a command center and a target. Courts need to understand that,” appears on foxnews and carries the byline of a writer identified in the post’s language as a former national security adviser to Trump. Trump directed readers to that piece by mentioning the source (see foxnews).
Trump is serving as the 47th president of the United States. The post identifies its author only as someone who served as Trump’s NSA, and no kept source confirms that person’s name, so this flash does not attach one.
