Did President Donald Trump post a 435-word tirade about the public's interest in the canceled investigation into the clients of the dead child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein? No, that's not true: There have been no genuine Trump posts about Epstein on Truth Social since January 2024. The mock-up using Trump's Truth Social profile image was posted by a self-described humor account on X. The post in the screenshot is 2,343 characters long, almost five times Truth Social's 500-character limit per post.
The spoof appeared in a July 9, 2025 post on X (archived here) by the @RudyHavenstein account under the title "Oh boy". The text in the screenshot read:
I CANNOT BELIEVE people are still talking about this CREEP JEFFREY EPSTEIN. What a waste of time. Here I am, the GREATEST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES and you want to talk EPSTEIN? It's a DESECRATION. I never even MET the man. He liked women a couple of years younger than what I liked. SO WHAT?? Threw great parties though I heard this through by good friend Tom Barrack, who also never even MET Jeffrey. Yes, Donald Barr - great man, great man - hired him at DALTON, but that was only because Donald was doing research for one of his novels. His son Bill Barr - I don't know how he even got in MY FIRST ADMINISTRATION - knew Jeff from Interlochen, a gay MUSIC SCHOOL in THE GREAT STATE OF MICHIGAN - which I carried in 2024 slaughtering DUMB KAMALA 49.73% to 48.31%!!! ΜAGA! You know who else went to the DALTON SCHOOL? ANTONY BLINKEN, whose STEPDAD was Robert Maxwell's closest advisor!! Somebody should look into THAT HOT MESS. When I'm in charge, heads will roll! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! GHISLAINE GOT RAILROADED. If the sex trafficking doesn't fit YOU MUST ACQUIT, as my close friend Alan Dershowitz would say. HE WORE UNDERPANTS! Alan makes some good points about age of consent you know. Have you seen the girls nowadays? The 12-year olds look 15!! It's a scary time. Fortunately I am a HAPPILY MARRIED MAN, like Bill Clinton. Anyway, GHISLAINE is very nice, sat next to me ONE TIME at a fashion show. We chatted about the OCEAN, which is also my FAVORITE LED ZEPPELIN SONG. NOBODY CARES that I was not even AT THE PRISON when Jeff was killed I mean killed himself. AM I supposed to be in charge of prisons or something? FAKE NEWS. I like HONEY but HONEY, I DON'T LIKE TRAPS. ROY COHN was my mentor.
The ladies loved him. Taught me everything. I have TAPES OF MY OWN!! You know I'm in the hotel business for decades. DECADES!!! I am the best at it, some may say the BESTEST. Also, THE CAMERAS WERE FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION! Not my fault they don't work until they suddenly did this week UNDER MY WATCH. Pam BONDI - easy on the eyes, am I right? - just doing her job, which is to do whatever I want. CRAIG SPENCE???? Can we all now please move on? TRUMPCOIN $2.5 BILLION market cap! Like a MAGA cap!! Great things are happening. I WILL NOT DEPORT CHUCK SCHUMER'S MAID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is what the X post looked like at the time this fact check was written:

The @RudyHavenstein account bio makes clear the anonymous author is dedicated to humor/parody/satire with this note: "Tweets are solely for my own amusement." The bio declares its pronouns are pronouns (Usually He, or She, or They) as "He/Haw/Xi". The account's persona is the German central bank director from 1908-1923 who oversaw the printing of more and more currency, which contributed to the hyperinflation crisis illustrated in history books by photos of people with wheelbarrows full of nearly valueless bills. Past posts comment on finance, markets and politics, usually knocking Trump.
Here's a screenshot of that transparency section of the account header:
