Did the self-styled "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Angeli-Chansley write "Fuck Donald Trump" on X in July 2025?

Angeli-Chansley's X account was briefly deleted on July 24, before becoming available again.

Later on July 24, 2025, Angeli-Chansley's X account was deleted, for reasons that were not immediately clear, but it became available once again later in the day.
