Trump's nocturnal social media habits revealed as a third of president's Truth Social posts happen at night: report

Source: The Independent

Sunday 03 May 2026 13:46 EDT


President Donald Trump’s use of Truth Social to share his thoughts has exploded in the last month with many posts coming in the early morning hours, an analysis has found.

In fact, the president posted on Truth Social 565 times in April, according to the Daily Beast. That amounts to about 18 posts a day from the commander-in-chief, with a third happening overnight. The total is also more than double the 250 times he posted in April 2018 during his first term in the White House.

Trump’s posts over the last month have stirred up controversy, including one of an AI image depicting him as Jesus, another photoshop of him threatening Iran and posts criticizing the 2020 election. They come as Trump has been pictured with his eyes closed at meetings and press events.

It’s unclear if Trump has made all the posts on social media, or if some have come from Natalie Harp, who is an executive assistant to the president, but also known to help with his social media accounts.

reference to his widely reported history of substance abuse and his obvious neurodegenerative condition and cognitive decline is incomplete. Context, context, context.

One of the most powerful people in the world is a sundowning political poster.

I'm sure he does, because he's not that prolific. Why they post so many at night I cannot fathom, unless maybe Chump runs a "graveyard shift" of bored writers who only work at night?
