Trump’s Truth Social: The 5 Biggest SHOCKERS Of 2025—From Fusion Power To Peace Deals

Donald Trump's use of Truth Social has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of political communication, transforming the platform from a niche social media app into the de facto White House press briefing room for his administration. As of late 2025, the former President’s "Truths"—often unfiltered, all-caps declarations—are not merely political commentary; they are official policy announcements, executive orders, and international diplomatic statements, creating a unique and often volatile dynamic in global affairs.

This deep dive explores the most recent and seismic developments on the platform over the course of 2025, focusing on the unprecedented policy declarations, the platform’s shocking pivot into the energy sector via a major merger, and the stark reality of its user base versus its outsized political influence. The platform, owned by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), remains the primary, unfiltered voice of one of the world's most powerful political figures, making its every update a matter of global significance.

The New Normal: Unfiltered Policy and the 160-Post Blitz

The year 2025 has cemented Truth Social’s role as the central hub for executive-level declarations, bypassing traditional media and government channels entirely. This strategy, often dubbed "governing via Truth Social," reached a new intensity with a late-night social media blitz where President Trump posted or re-posted over 160 times in a single five-hour period, fueling debate among political opponents and allies alike about the pace and content of his communication.

1. The Middle East Peace Plan Announcement

One of the most consequential uses of the platform was the sudden announcement of a major diplomatic breakthrough. In a highly publicized "Truth," Donald Trump declared that "Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan." The post detailed that this initial phase would involve a swap of the approximately 20-or-so surviving Israeli hostages for an estimated 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

The announcement, which thanked the nations involved and hailed the deal as a “great day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all surrounding nations, and the United States of America,” elicited mixed reactions from world leaders and regional stakeholders. The decision to use a social media platform to announce a sensitive international agreement of this magnitude underscored the administration’s non-traditional approach to foreign policy and diplomacy.

2. Executive Orders on Tariffs and Oil Blockades

Economic and foreign policy shifts were also dictated directly through the platform. In a move to pressure the Venezuelan government, Trump ordered a "total and complete" blockade on sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers. The post also designated the regime of President Nicolás Maduro as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), accusing it of stealing U.S. assets.

Furthermore, in April 2025, the President used Truth Social to announce a significant escalation of trade tensions with a key global rival. He declared he was raising the tariff charged to China, citing the country's "lack of respect" for global markets. These declarations, which have immediate and far-reaching impacts on global trade and energy markets, highlight how the platform is now the primary source for major policy updates, including those related to the economy and international security.

The Business Pivot: TMTG’s Shock $6 Billion Fusion Merger

Perhaps the most unexpected development in 2025 was not political, but a seismic business maneuver that completely changes the identity of TMTG, the parent company of Truth Social. The company announced a major merger with TAE Technologies, a California-based fusion power startup.

This $6 billion transaction positions the combined entity—which will continue to trade under the NASDAQ and NYSE Texas ticker DJT—as a hybrid technology company with a foot in both social media and cutting-edge clean energy. The deal is structured to give shareholders of both TMTG and TAE Technologies approximately 50% ownership of the new combined entity.

3. The Fusion Power Strategy

The merger details revealed TMTG's commitment to funding the fusion startup, agreeing to provide up to $300 million in cash to TAE Technologies to help finance its operations. The long-term plan is ambitious: the combined company aims to begin construction on a 50-megawatt commercial fusion electric plant in 2026. This move suggests that TMTG is attempting to diversify its revenue streams and valuation away from the volatile social media sector, which has seen its stock (DJT) lose over 65% of its value in the past year, falling from a high of $42 in January 2025 to a significantly lower valuation by December 2025.

The inclusion of a fusion power company, a field typically associated with high-risk, high-reward deep technology, gives the Trump Media & Technology Group a completely new narrative and a potential path to sustainable, long-term growth that is independent of the social media platform's daily user numbers.

The Audience Reality: Reach vs. Influence

Despite its central role in political communication, the actual user base of Truth Social remains relatively small compared to rival social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook. This disparity between its political influence and its market reach is a key paradox of the platform.

4. The Small but Loyal User Base

As of January 2025, Truth Social is estimated to have approximately 6.3 million monthly active users. While this is a respectable number for a new platform, it pales in comparison to the hundreds of millions of users on mainstream platforms. The platform's influence, however, is magnified by the extreme loyalty and political homogeneity of its user base.

Data from early 2025 indicates that around 88% of Truth Social users identify as Republicans or lean toward conservative views. This makes the platform an echo chamber, but one that is highly effective for mobilizing a core political base and disseminating messages without the risk of moderation or fact-checking found elsewhere.

5. The Trump Multiplier Effect

The platform’s political power is not driven by its 6.3 million active users, but by the fact that nearly 70% of U.S. adults had heard about Truth Social by late 2024, demonstrating a high level of public awareness despite low direct usage. Furthermore, Donald Trump’s own following of approximately 6.59 million individuals on the platform—a figure that is larger than the total active user base—ensures that his "Truths" are immediately picked up by major news outlets and amplified across the entire media ecosystem, effectively cutting through the noise of other platforms.

Whether he is announcing a meeting with political figures like Russ Vought of Project 2025 fame, detailing a response to a domestic incident like the Brown University shooting, or declaring a new trade policy, the content posted on Truth Social is instantly treated as breaking news, demonstrating a political power that far exceeds its market share. This dynamic ensures that, regardless of its financial volatility or its tiny user count, Truth Social will remain the most critical digital megaphone in American politics for the foreseeable future.
