WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump shared a video on Truth Social that frames his political movement as a counterrevolution and casts him as the outsider who recognized a threat that past Republican nominees missed.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “And that’s what they all do revolution they have to sharpen the differences and there’s no in-between there’s no moderation. You’re either evil or good. And that’s what we’re faced with and it’s one of the ironies of our time that the only person who saw it it wasn’t Mitt Romney when he ran it was starting it wasn’t against Obama wasn’t John McCain he he didn’t see what was happening. It wasn’t uh you know the never trumpers who saw what these people were up to it was this developer from New York that everybody thought was too crass and uncouth and was not viable but he had one truth that they didn’t see he said these people want to destroy the United States as we know it and I’m not going to let that happen and I will do almost anything legal to stop them. And that’s what where we are now we’re in a a true counter revolution versus a revolution.” on September 24, 2026 at 8:21 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 6th 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 83 of his 532 posts over the last 30 days classified as image-only posts.
The clip names Mitt Romney, Barack Obama and John McCain as figures who, in the narrator’s telling, did not grasp the stakes the way Trump later did. It draws a line between what it calls a revolution and a counterrevolution, placing Trump on the side of resistance. The narrator describes Trump as a developer from New York whom critics dismissed as crass and unviable, and quotes him pledging to do almost anything legal to stop opponents he says want to destroy the country. The video runs under a minute and appears alongside a second attachment on the post.
