Trump posts a political graphic calling an unidentified man “Our National Security,” alongside an American flag in a formal portrait setting.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted a political graphic on Truth Social praising an unidentified man as the cornerstone of American national security.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “This Man is Our National Security” on October 4, 2026 at 1:04 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 12th message released today, and the last post was 0 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 37 of his 561 posts over the last 30 days classified as Personal Praise, Greetings & Tributes posts.
The graphic features a formal portrait of an older male with blonde and white hair, dressed in a navy blue suit, light blue dress shirt, and blue tie with a small American flag lapel pin. An American flag is partially visible in the background. The text renders “is” in underlined type for emphasis, giving the phrase a declarative quality consistent with political advocacy materials. The identity of the man depicted was not confirmed in the post.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
