President Donald Trump gave ABC News “fair warning” in a post criticizing the network for being “at it again” in peddling false reports about him.
After touting the recent settlement agreement with ABC News in a post on Truth Social this weekend, the president called out “ABC Fake News” and warned the “SleazeBags” on reporting about coverage of Qatar’s $400 million plane gifted to the Defense Department.
“Why doesn’t Chairman Bob Iger do something about ABC Fake News, especially since I just won $16,000,000 based on the Fake and Defamatory reporting of Liddle’ George Slopadopolus,” Trump wrote. “He was given warnings, but just couldn’t be restrained by ‘management.’ Now I see they are at it again, and I again give these SleazeBags fair warning!”
Trump went on to call out the false reports that the plane was given to him personally.
“The wonderful country of Qatar, after agreeing to invest more than 1.4 Trillion Dollars in the United States of America, deserves much better than Misleading (Fake!) News,” he wrote.
“Everyone, including their lawyers, has been told that ABC must not say that Qatar is giving ME a FREE Boeing 747 Airplane, because they are not. Instead, and as Fake News ABC fully knows and understands, this highly respected country is donating the plane to the United States Air Force/ Defense Department, AND NOT TO ME,” the president continued.
“By so doing, they are saving our country, and the American Taxpayer, hundreds of millions of dollars. ABC Fake News is one of the WORST,” he concluded.
ABC’s Rachel Scott asked Trump about the plane last week at the White House.
“What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?” she asked.
“You should be embarrassed asking that question,” Trump fired back.
Social media users hoped the president would follow up on his post.
Hope he sues them again.

ABC: “We don’t lie, we just aggressively misinform.”
Trump: Here’s $16 million reasons why that didn’t work out.

Trump’s right. ABC has been pushing fake news for too long. Qatar’s investment is a win for the U.S., and the media’s twisting it to fit their narrative. Time for Iger to clean house at ABC!

The president filled his social media account over the weekend with comments, AI-generated memes and videos, and one eyebrow-raising post about former President Barack Obama. The post, originally from the user @SpiritualStreetfighter, suggested Obama should face a “public” military tribunal and featured a photo of Trump with the then-president in the Oval Office.
“ALL ROADS LEAD TO OBAMA… RETRUTH IF YOU WANT PUBLIC MILITARY TRIBUNALS,” the post was captioned.
Social media users on X reacted to the message behind the post.
Turns out “Yes we can” meant yes they did. Now it’s Trumps turn. Military tribunals? Sounds like a long overdue reckoning.

I hope they have it in a football stadium and sell tickets to it like it’s the Super Bowl.
