Trump Shares Video With Healing Theme on Truth Social
Trump posts a 30-second video featuring refrains about pain, redemption and belonging, opening with the line “Retribution will be through success.”.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted a video on Truth Social featuring audio centered on themes of healing, pain and personal redemption.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Retribution will be through success. I want to heal. I want to feel what I thought was there for me now. I want to let go of the pain I’ve held so long. You erase all the pain and the scars. I want to heal. I want to feel like I come to something real. I want to find something I wanted all along. Somewhere I belong. I want to heal.” on October 27, 2026 at 3:04 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 29th message released today, and the last post was 59 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 120 of his 591 posts over the last 30 days classified as image-only posts.
The 30-second vertical video opens with a voice stating “Retribution will be through success.” Repeated refrains about wanting to heal and seeking belonging follow. One voice describes the desire to “let go of the pain I’ve held so long,” and another says “you erase all the pain and the scars.” The video closes with the words “Somewhere I belong. I want to heal.”
Trump has invoked healing language at pivotal moments during his political career. After winning the 2024 presidential election, he vowed to “help our country heal” during his victory speech, according to christianpost.com. Trump secured 277 electoral votes to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, surpassing the 270 threshold needed to win the presidency, according to christianpost.com.
Trump told supporters in November 2024 that he wanted to “put the divisions of the past four years behind us.” He predicted that “success will bring us together,” according to christianpost.com. The video’s opening line mirrors that framing by casting success rather than conflict as the vehicle for resolution.
Trump has used visual and multimedia content on Truth Social to project personal imagery before. He shared an image on the platform on April 12, 2026, depicting himself as a healer, which he later deleted, according to leadstories.com. Trump addressed the image outside the Oval Office, saying “I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support,” according to leadstories.com.
He added, “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better,” according to leadstories.com. That earlier post followed a public dispute between Trump and Pope Leo XIV over the war involving Iran. Trump had criticized the pope on Truth Social, calling him “very liberal” and saying he was doing a poor job, according to leadstories.com. Pope Leo pushed back by emphasizing that his calls for peace came from the Gospel, not politics, according to leadstories.com.

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."
