Fact Check: Donald Trump Did NOT Post "I'm Not Incompitent!!!!" -- That's A Fake Screenshot Which Circulated In June 2025 Satire Post

Did Donald Trump make an all-caps post on Truth Social which said, "I'M NOT INCOMPITENT!!!!"? No, that's not true: A fake screenshot resurfaced on social media in Oct. 2025. The satirical screenshot had already circulated as early as June 2025. There is no record of this post originating from the verified account of Donald Trump.

An early example of the fabricated screenshot appears in a post (archived here) where it was published in the Facebook group "If Obama did it." on June 24, 2025.

This is the screenshot included with the post:

Another post (archived here) used the same fake screenshot later the same day, June 24, 2025, on the account of the Fearful Conservative, a Facebook page which labels itself "Satire/Parody". The post with the fake screenshot included the caption:

Taco is not happy about the damage assessments in Iran...

For context, there were US strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran on June 21, 2025. (White House video here)

A search on trumpstruth.org (archived here), a site which keeps a searchable archive of all of Trump's Truth Social posts, did not produce an exact match for the phrase. Two posts included the word incompetent spelled correctly (pictured below) but those posts referred to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

A Google search (archived here) for the phrase "I'm Not Incompitent!!!!" did not produce any relevant posts from Trump, only duplicates of the satirical meme on social media.
