Trump Shares “God Bless the USA” Video
Trump posts a two-minute video featuring Lee Greenwood's patriotic anthem on Truth Social, his 32nd message of the day.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted a video on Truth Social featuring the patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA” by country music singer Lee Greenwood.
The two-minute clip captures the song’s well-known chorus and verses, referencing locations across the country from “the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea.”
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me, and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA. From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA, where there’s pride in every American heart and it’s time we stand and say that I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me, and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA. And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me, and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her” on October 20, 2026 at 6:03 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 32nd message released today, and the last post was 51 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 141 of his 530 posts over the last 30 days classified as image-only posts.
The video post contained no written caption beyond the song’s lyrics. Trump shared two video files, with the primary clip running approximately two minutes. The song has served as a fixture at Trump rallies and political events throughout his career in public life.
The post arrived on a day when Trump was unusually active on the platform. His 32 messages represented nearly double his daily average of 18 posts. Media-only posts without substantial text accounted for roughly 27 percent of his output over the prior 30 days, making video and image shares a consistent element of his social media activity.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. 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."
