Trump Amplifies Ingrassia Post Hailing Fireworks and a “Golden Age”
Trump shares an effusive tribute from his acting GSA general counsel, Paul Ingrassia, that praises a fireworks display and contrasts his presidency with the Biden and Obama years.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump shared an effusive tribute on Truth Social from Paul Ingrassia, the acting general counsel of the General Services Administration, that praised a fireworks display and cast his presidency as a national rescue.
The post reposted Ingrassia’s words verbatim, hailing what it called the most electrifying firework display in American history and framing the moment as a contrast with the prior two administrations. It named Joe Biden and Barack Hussein Obama directly, describing their tenures as a period of decline. The message offered praise rather than any new policy or announcement.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “The most electrifying, elevating firework display in American history, a potent injection of patriotism by Trump! This Golden Age that President Trump ushered in, which was necessary to save the Nation, stands in sharp contrast to twelve years of Decline and Despair under the Woke Marxist administrations of Joe Biden and Barack Hussein Obama, who hated everything America has always stood for — and sought to destroy this country rather than make it greater than ever before. Thankfully, we have a President who is once again rededicated to the proposition that America is Great, and has every reason to celebrate, not apologize for, its historical Greatness and Glory.” on July 27, 2026 at 4:24 PM ET.
This is the first message released by Trump today. On average, Trump produces about 15 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. In the last 30 days, 31 of 462 Trump posts were on the topic “Personal Praise, Greetings & Tributes”, according to Zenger analysis.
Ingrassia, a 31-year-old attorney born in Bayport, New York, assumed the acting general counsel role at the General Services Administration in December 2025, according to wikipedia.org. He had served as deputy general counsel at the agency since November 2025. He earlier worked as the White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, according to wikipedia.org. The General Services Administration manages federal real estate, procurement and technology services for the government, according to gsa.gov.
The amplification underscores a long relationship between the two men. Ingrassia has maintained a Substack that Trump read as early as April 2024, and he has described his blog as the president’s favorite, according to wikipedia.org. Trump has shared Ingrassia’s comments nearly one hundred times on social media, according to wikipedia.org.

For an ordinary reader, the post carries no direct financial or legal consequence. It amounts to a public endorsement between a president and a senior appointee, a signal of favor rather than a change in law or spending that would touch daily life.
This has happened before. Trump elevated Ingrassia’s online writing repeatedly over the past two years, including a January 2024 claim that Nikki Haley was ineligible to serve as president, which Trump repeated, according to wikipedia.org. Ingrassia withdrew from a nomination to be special counsel of the United States in October 2025 after offensive text messages surfaced, according to wikipedia.org.
A date for any further action has not been announced, and the post itself calls for no decision from any official or body.
Presidents leaning on loyal scribes to burnish their image is not new. Andrew Jackson bankrolled friendly editors such as Amos Kendall and Francis Preston Blair, who founded the Washington Globe in 1830 to defend the administration in print. Theodore Roosevelt cultivated reporters so aggressively that observers coined the term “bully pulpit” during his 1901 to 1909 tenure. Jackson’s press allies rose with him, and Kendall went on to serve as postmaster general, showing how proximity to a president has long converted admiration into office.
