Trump Shares Post Praising His Loyalty
Trump posts a screenshot of an X user's message calling loyalty one of his defining character traits.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump shared a screenshot of a social media post that praised his loyalty as a defining character trait.
The image showed a post from the X account @7CommonSense, which read: “@potus has many gifts and character traits… one of which is loyalty.” The post had received 3,600 views on X at the time the screenshot was taken.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “traits… one of which is loyalty. eight:14 PM 10/9/26 3.6K Views” on October 10, 2026 at 2:05 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 9th 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 28 of his 535 posts over the last 30 days classified as uncategorized posts.
Trump offered no additional commentary alongside the screenshot. The post from the X account @7CommonSense, which uses the display name “My2Commoncents,” carried a blue verification checkmark on the platform. The original post on X was dated October 9, 2026, at 8:14 PM, and Trump shared it hours later in the early morning of October 10.
The screenshot represented one of several image-based posts Trump has made without accompanying text, a format he has used with increasing frequency. Trump’s decision to amplify the message placed the theme of loyalty before his truthsocial audience without directly making the claim himself. The post did not reference any specific individual, policy dispute, or political event that might have prompted the praise.

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."
