@realDonaldTrump. “Hamas Has Been a Ruthless and Violent Threat, for Many Years, in the Middle East! They Have Killed (and Made Lives Unbearably Miserable), Culminating with the October 7th MASSACRE, in Israel, Babies, Woman, Children, Old People, and Many Young Men and Women, Boys and Girls, Getting Ready to Celebrate Their Future Lives Together. As Retribution for the October 7th Attack on Civilization, More than 25,000 Hamas ‘Soldiers’ Have Already Been Killed. Most of the Rest Are Surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED, Just Waiting for Me to Give the Word, ‘GO,’ for Their Lives to Be Quickly Extinguished. As for the Rest, We Know Where and Who You Are, and You Will Be Hunted Down, and Killed. I Am Asking That All Innocent Palestinians Immediately Leave This Area of Potentially Great Future Death for Safer Parts of Gaza. Everyone Will Be Well Cared for by T….” Truth Social, 3 Oct. 2025, truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115310630808491399.
—. “I Am Very Proud to Announce That Israel and Hamas Have Both Signed off on the First Phase of Our Peace Plan. This Means That ALL of the Hostages Will Be Released Very Soon, and Israel Will Withdraw Their Troops to an Agreed upon Line as the First Steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties Will Be Treated Fairly! This Is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, All Surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and We Thank the Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, Who Worked with Us to Make This Historic and Unprecedented Event Happen. BLESSED ARE the PEACEMAKERS! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.” Truth Social, 8 Oct. 2025, truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115340993884364431.
