In July 2026, an image circulated online supposedly showing a post by U.S. 
President Donald Trump on Truth Social saying he talked to Jesus. 
A screenshot authentically shows a December 2025 post by U.S. 
President Donald Trump on Truth Social saying that he talked to Jesus. 
The alleged screenshot appeared on Threads and Facebook, with one post saying "the president is clearly delusional" (archived).

The supposed post read: 
“You know, I've known Jesus for a long time. 
He often says, "Donald Trump, we are really close friends and my father is happy that you're making America Great Again. 
It's my favorite country." 
When he saved my ear from the bullet he whispered in my ear, the one that was saved, and said, "The whole world owes you a debt of gratitude for being so Christian and having perfect morals." 
The image was not new. 
Social media users had been sharing it since at least December 2025, when it appeared on Facebook and Threads, with some people saying the post was proof that Trump had dementia. 
However, the image had been fabricated to present those words as Trump's. 
As a result, we have rated it fake. 
We could find no evidence that the post was real. 
We didn't find it on the president's Truth Social feed. 
A keyword search in the archive of Trump's Truth Social posts revealed no such post. 
In addition, the font's proportions did not match those from the real Truth Social website, and it did not include a date. 
We also searched for reports from reputable news organizations about this supposed post, to no avail. 
General searches on Google, Bing or DuckDuckgo revealed no evidence that this post was real, either. 
The earliest instance of this image we could find was posted Dec. 13, 2025, on Threads (archived) with the comment, "He's a Very Disturbed man." 
The Threads account appeared to post memes several times a day without citing sources. 
For further reading, we've covered a number of fake posts attributed to Trump.
